Drama on the Dance Floor: Hilaria Baldwin Survives Double Elimination Night

The 34th season of Dancing with the Stars continued on Tuesday, with its special One-Hit Wonders Night, which ended in a double elimination and left Hilaria Baldwin, 41, in the bottom three

Dancing with the Stars Drama Heats Up!

The 34th season of Dancing with the Stars has reached new heights of drama and controversy, with shocking eliminations, backstage chaos, and tantrums from the celebrity contestants. Last Tuesday's episode was no exception, as the show's One-Hit Wonders Night left fans in stitches and producers scrambling to contain the fallout.

In a stunning turn of events, actor Corey Feldman, 54, and NBA star Baron Davis, 46, were sent packing after receiving the lowest scores from judges Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli. But what really got tongues wagging was Hilaria Baldwin's (41) narrow escape to the next round, leaving fans fuming on social media.

"It's a travesty! How can Hilaria stay while Baron gets eliminated?" one enraged fan wrote on Twitter. "I'm so done with this show! Whoever voted for Hilaria needs to explain themselves!"

The Baldwin family's involvement in the show has been nothing short of dramatic, with Hilaria's husband Alec (67) famously clashing with her over their kids' antics during rehearsals. But sources close to the couple claim that it's all just a facade – behind closed doors, they're at each other's throats.

"Hilaria is exhausted from balancing her family life and the show," an insider spilled to TheScholarlyNote.com. "But she's too proud to admit it, so she's pretending like everything is fine."

Meanwhile, Corey Feldman's elimination sparked a wave of sympathy for his partner Jenna Johnson, who has been making headlines with her stunning outfits and fiery performances. In a heartwarming gesture, Corey praised Jenna's talents, saying: "She deserved better – personally speaking, I think she should be the champ every year!"

But behind the scenes, things are far from smooth sailing. Insiders claim that producers are struggling to keep up with the demands of their celebrity contestants, who seem more interested in promoting themselves than actually learning the choreography.

"This season is a disaster," one insider confided. "Some stars just don't want to put in the work – they're too busy taking selfies and promoting their own brands."

And it seems that even the judges are not immune to the drama. Sources claim that Bruno Tonioli has been at odds with producers over his scoring, which has led to some... interesting decisions.

But what really had jaws dropping was the performances themselves. Hilaria Baldwin sizzled on stage in a deep purple gown, earning a perfect 7 from all three judges for her tango routine. Meanwhile, Alix Earle (24) wowed with her jive performance, which earned her a spot at the top of the leaderboard.

But the real controversy erupted when Baron Davis was eliminated after receiving a relatively low score of 18 out of 30. His partner Britt Stewart seemed genuinely distraught by his departure, but Baron himself took it in stride, saying: "I wanted to win for Britt – she's an incredible dancer."

As the season heats up, fans can expect even more drama and surprises. Will Hilaria Baldwin finally take home that coveted Mirror Ball trophy? Or will one of her celebrity rivals dethrone her? Stay tuned, folks!

The Latest Scoop:

  • Robert Irwin (21) has been quietly impressing judges with his tango performances – could he be the dark horse of this season?
  • Jen Affleck (26) is reportedly at odds with her partner Jan Ravnik over their quickstep routine – sources claim they're "bickering like an old married couple."
  • Elaine Hendrix (54) has been struggling to keep up with her younger competitors, but insiders say she's still a force to be reckoned with.
  • Dylan Efron (33) is rumored to have had a secret tryst with his partner Daniella Karagach – the drama just keeps on coming!

But she also admitted that it has been draining: 'My body is tired, my neck is sore, my kids are having silly arguments but they need me, I'm pulled in multiple directions, exhausted'
