Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess finished at the bottom of the Week 8 leaderboard on Dancing With the Stars after their Viennese Waltz, putting them in the evening’s most precarious spot as the show aired Monday, Nov. 2 a day early because of Tuesday night’s election coverage.
That is the search readers are making now: who got eliminated on Dancing With the Stars after a night that also produced the first perfect score of Season 35. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson hit 40 out of 40, while Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy and Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold each landed on 37 out of 40, making the margin at the bottom feel tighter than the headline position suggested.
Cameron and Burgess danced to Annie Lennox’s Love Song for a Vampire, a choice that fit the Halloween holdover from Horror Movie Night and the show’s Week 8 mood. The episode also brought in Shirley Ballas as a guest judge alongside Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, giving the scoring panel an expanded voice on a night built around big swings and sharper judgment.
The friction in the results is that the pair ended up last even though the judges were spreading lower-range marks across more than one couple, including 4s and 5s elsewhere in the lineup. In other words, Cameron and Burgess were not singled out by one disastrous dance so much as edged out by a field that had little room between safe and vulnerable.
What the episode does not settle is the elimination itself. It confirms that Cameron and Burgess were at the bottom after the scoring, but the broader question readers are chasing — whether that position turned into a send-off — remains tied to the next step in Week 8’s results.
If the leaderboard was the warning, the elimination answer sits just beyond this broadcast, and that is why Cameron and Burgess are the couple everyone is checking first.
