Robert Irwin Tops DWTS Leaderboard as Whitney Leavitt is Eliminated During Prince Night
Robert Irwin and Witney Carson secured the highest combined score of the night on Dancing with the stars Season 34, Week 10 – dubbed “prince Night” - while Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas were eliminated following a close competition. The episode, airing simultaneously on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays with episodes streaming on Hulu Wednesdays, saw all couples perform two routines judged by a panel and voted on by viewers.
The stakes were high as the remaining six couples battled for a spot in the semi-finals. Each week, the pair with the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes faces elimination. Live voting occurs during the East Coast airing of the show and closes shortly after the final performance. This week’s results mark a turning point as the competition narrows, bringing the coveted Mirrorball Trophy closer for the remaining contestants.
