Dancing With the Stars is back, baby! And in case you haven’t been counting, the show is in its 31st (!!) season. Now, the competition may have made the switch to streaming on Disney+ this time around, but it’s still giving us plenty of what we know and love: celebrities (some of which you may or may not have heard of before) trying their very best to become real life ballroom dancers.
With this being a competition show and all, one of the stars is gonna be sent packing every week. Sometimes you’re happy about it, other times you’re yelling at the judges through your TV for saving the wrong couple (oh, just me??). But TBH either way, keeping track of everyone who lost their chance at the Mirrorball Trophy is hard, especially when you get to, like, week 9. So without further ado, let me introduce your official Dancing With the Stars season 31 elimination tracker. Enjoy!
Week 7: Jordin Sparks and Brandon Armstrong
For the past few rounds, singer Jordin Sparks and partner Brandon Armstrong were consistently in the middle of the pack until they began making their way to the bottom this week, placing them alongside Heidi D’Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev when it came time to face eliminations. Though both duos were initially tied, it was head judge Len Goodman’s vote that ultimately saved Heidi and Artem for a second time, while Jordin and Brandon got sent home.

Week 6: Jessie James Decker and Alan Bersten
During week 6 of the show, singer Michael Bublé actually joined the judges on the panel, and contestants danced to the tune 0f many of his iconic hits. Sadly, Jessie and Alan wound up in the final two alongside Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater, who were subsequently saved this time around. However, the singer had a v positive outlook on the decision and told reporters afterwards, “You can’t be surprised. You know, you can’t ever go into it expecting anything. And so for me, all I could do is focus on my dance, my partner and this experience. And this was an experience that I never thought I would have been able to do. And it was. Such a joy. And I honestly can walk away with a smile on my face, and that’s the truth.”

Also Week 5: Joseph Baena and Daniella Karagach
Joseph and Daniella were eliminated on Tuesday night’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, as the show decided to air two specials during week 5. The 25-year-old fitness model, who *also* just so happens to be the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mildred Patricia Baena, spoke about the emotional elimination and how he felt having his mother in the audience for his final show. “She was extremely upset that I was going home, and of course she’s going to be upset, because she’s my mother and she doesn’t want anything bad to happen to her son…But she’s so happy with how far that I came,” he confessed to Page Six. And, I mean, even Tyra Banks was a little teary-eyed when she announced that Joseph and Daniella would be going home, so can ya blame her?!

Week 5: Selma Blair and Sasha Farber
In a truly emotional episode, it was announced that Selma had actually chosen to withdraw from the show due to her health concerns. The actor, who first shared her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018, revealed that her body had “taken a hit” over the course of the competition. “I’ve been monitored…I had MRIs and the results came back, and it all adds up to, I can’t go on with the competition,” she confessed to Sasha in a taped piece that aired during the show. However, the duo was able to perform one final dance to “What the World Needs Now” and went out with a perfect score from the judges.

Week 4: Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke
The former Good Morning America weather anchor and dancer sadly spent the past couple of weeks unable to get out of the mid-20s score range, and *also* wound up on the bottom last week. This time, however, they weren’t given another chance to make it through the round, and instead were eliminated over Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater.

Week 3: Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel
Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel were in the bottom two alongside Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke this week. And though the judges admitted that it was truly a tough decision to make as both Sam and Cheryl had improved *a lot* since the first episode, they ultimately chose to give the Charlie’s Angels star the boot.

Week 2: Teresa Giudice and Pasha Pashkov
After making it to Elvis Night and dancing a jive to “All Shook Up,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star found herself in the bottom two once again, this time against Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel. With the judges tied 50-50 on who to save, the decision defaulted to head judge Len Goodman’s choice of Cheryl and Louis, meaning Teresa and Pasha were sent packing.

Week 1: Jason Lewis and Peta Murgatroyd
We only got to see one dance from actor Jason Lewis (who you probably recognize as Smith Jerrod from Sex and the City) before he was sent home during the premiere episode. Poor guy! Jason tried his best to dance a cha-cha, but the judges called him out for counting out loud and some sloppy footwork. So when it came to choosing between him and fellow bottom-two contestant Teresa Giudice, the judges chose to save the reality star.
