‘Dancing with the Stars’: No Star Is Eliminated on ‘Dedication Night’

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents ‘Dancing with the Stars’: No Star Is Eliminated on ‘Dedication Night’.

On October 20, 2026, the sixth episode of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ brought a clear surprise: During the ‘Dedication Night,’ no one was eliminated from the race for the Mirrorball Trophy.

At Just Jared, the headline initially still sounds like an open question. E! News provides the clear answer: In this episode, there was no elimination.

The co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough revealed the surprise. So, for anyone who expected a star to be eliminated that evening: the list of contestants remains unchanged after the show.

Just Jared Asks, E! News Answers: No Elimination

The E! News report unambiguously answers the initial question: During the ‘Dedication Night,’ no one was eliminated from the race for the Mirrorball Trophy. It is therefore also clear what the announced surprise consisted of: There was no departure.

In the Just Jared report, the situation initially appears more open-ended. The headline explicitly asks whether there will be an elimination that evening at all. E! News provides a clear resolution; the two accounts do not contradict each other.

For you, this is the straightforward answer to the headline question: The ‘Dedication Night’ did focus on elimination – but nobody was actually eliminated.

Season 35, Week Six: Everyone Stays in the Race

Just Jared categorizes the current phase of the show as the sixth week of the 35th season. Following this episode, the competition for the Mirrorball Trophy therefore continues: No contestant was removed from the race, and everyone remains in the game.

According to E! News, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough were the co-hosts who jointly revealed the surprise. In its headline, E! News explicitly described the reveal as a surprise.

As a result, after the sixth week, the focus is no longer on who is leaving but on the decision still to come: Who will ultimately win the Mirrorball Trophy? That decision has not yet been made.

What the News Means for You: The List of Contestants Remains the Same

If you follow the show and expected an elimination that evening, the takeaway is clear: No one is eliminated. Whoever was still in the competition for the Mirrorball Trophy after the ‘Dedication Night’ remains in it as well.

You should therefore not read Just Jared’s headline as an unresolved question. E! News clearly answers it with an unusual result: The sixth episode did bring a surprise, but no star was eliminated.

For your evening after work, that means you can read both reports without contradiction – and now know why there was no elimination during the ‘Dedication Night’ this time. Enjoy watching the episode.
