Emotional Moments Shine in "Dancing With the Stars" Season 33 Elimination
This week's episode of "Dancing With the Stars" was nothing short of emotional as it featured "Dedication Night," where each of the remaining couples performed in honor of someone special in their lives. The night was filled with heartfelt tributes, but one couple, in particular, captured the audience's attention: Derek Hough and his wife, Hayley Erbert Hough. Their moving performance to Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things (Acoustic)" left the judges, hosts, and audience in tears.
Derek and Hayley's routine was particularly poignant as it marked Hayley’s return to the dance floor following a significant health challenge. Derek took a moment to reflect on their difficult journey, sharing how Hayley had to relearn basic skills after undergoing brain surgery. He described a period filled with uncertainty, mentioning the terrifying moments of not knowing if she would regain her ability to walk. “Every time I walked in that room, Hayley had a smile on her face,” he recounted, admiring her strength throughout the ordeal. “She’s my beautiful miracle,” he said, highlighting the incredible resilience she displayed.

This fiery spirit resonated not only with the judges but also with viewers at home, showcasing the couple's undeniable bond and commitment to overcoming adversity together.
The episode was a tapestry of emotional performances, each dance dedicated to someone meaningful. For instance, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong delivered a contemporary piece dedicated to Chandler's mother, earning a score of 32 out of 40. Meanwhile, Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold performed an Argentine tango dedicated to men's gymnastics, receiving a score of 33. Other memorable routines included Danny Amendola and Witney Carson’s contemporary dance to “Unsteady,” and Phaedra Parks and Val Chmerkovskiy’s touching rumba dedicated to Phaedra’s mother.
However, the night was not without its surprises. Despite their heartfelt performances, Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko found themselves eliminated. Nader expressed her shock, saying, “It’s been amazing, and we’ve had so much fun,” while Savchenko thanked her for an incredible season, admitting he had hoped they would go further in the competition.
