Baron Davis Eliminated from DWTS in Week 2, Jordan Chiles Thrills Fans to Advance
Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars continued on Tuesday night, featuring the first double elimination competition of the year.
The current season of the show features multiple athletes including Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and former NBA star point guard Baron Davis.
Tuesday's episode contained the theme of one-hit wonder night, as the couples performed to popular songs from musicians known for a single hit. Chiles ultimately moved on, while Davis was eliminated.
Davis and his professional partner, Britt Stewart, performed a samba to "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison late in the show.
The two-time NBA All-Star dealt with a brief misstep during the dance, which was called out by the judges. While he still showed poise throughout the rest of his routine and earned a score of 18 out of 30 points, it wasn't enough to stay alive in the competition.
Chiles and her partner, Ezra Sosa, took the stage earlier in the evening with a jive to "Maniac" by Michael Sembello. Chiles' gymnastics background was also incorporated into the routine, leaping over Sosa off the top of the stairs.
They received an impressive score of 22 out of a possible 30 points from the judges, while fans were amazed by the performance.
With Davis eliminated, Chiles will attempt to become the first athlete to win a season of Dancing with the Stars since former NBA guard Iman Shumpert in 2021.
