Who Went Home on 'Dancing With the Stars'?
After the judges' scores were combined with the public votes, it was announced that Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater had been immediately eliminated from the competition.
Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart were then confirmed to be in the bottom two alongside Shangela and Gleb Savchenko.
The judges chose to save Shangela and Savchenko, meaning Durant and Stewart were the second couple to be eliminated.

Speaking to Newsweek before his Dancing With the Stars exit, Durant, whose acting credits include CODA and Netflix series You, spoke about his plans to return to his first passion after his time on the show was over.
"I'm ready to continue acting, I miss it!" Durant told Newsweek. "I miss being on set and I'm ready to be in the next production. I've been pitching a story that I'm part of and [in the project] I would create and write a character for myself so I'm hoping that works out."
"I hope Dancing With the Stars has shown who I am and what I can do and that I'm an artist," he added.
