Tuesday night will bring the first eliminations in Season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars.”

After a season premiere last week that saw Whitney Leavitt and Robert Irwin tie for the best judge scores in their debut, the show returns at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday night on ABC and Disney+ for more action — and for two couples to be eliminated.

Featured on the newest season of “DWTS” are two well-known athletes, Jordan Chiles and Baron Davis. But already, both find themselves in the lower half of the leaderboard, with the potential for elimination if they don’t impress the judges much in Episode 2.

Last week, Chiles, a two-time Olympian who represented the United States gymnastics team in Tokyo and Paris, earned a 10 out of 20 total points for her dance alongside her partner, Ezra Sosa. While the fan voting could change things, that score was tied for the second-worst of the night — including the other star sports connection, Davis.

The former NBA star earned a 10 out of 20 from the judges with his partner, Britt Stewart. In Episode 2, both Chiles and Davis will now be seeking to fend off elimination with stronger performances.

Follow along below for live results from “DWTS” Episode 2, including the details on which couples were eliminated.

How does Dancing with the Stars scoring work?

Scoring on “Dancing with the Stars” is divided into two categories: judges and audience. During the episode, the panel of judges gives the dancers a score from 1 to 10. For Season 34, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli will all return as judges. Before the audience votes, the judges give the dancers a maximum of 30 points.

This is where the scoring can get confusing. What matters isn’t exactly the number of points a dance gets, but how that number relates to the total number of votes the judges gave out. In the scenario that the judges give out 100 points throughout a round, with dancer A getting 10 and dancer B getting 20, then dancer A will have 10% of the judges’ vote and dancer B will have 20% before audience votes are tallied.

Then, let’s say dancer A gets 35% of the public vote, while dancer B only gets 5%. Dancer A’s final score would be 45% of the vote, and dancer B would have gotten 40%. In this example, dancer A would move on, and dancer B would be eliminated. 

Scoring is the percentage of the judges’ votes added to the percentage of the audience’s votes, for a total score. 

How to vote for Dancing with the Stars

You can cast your vote for your favorite dancers either through ABC’s website or text message. A number will pop up on the screen during the broadcast, and you can text the dancer’s first name to that number to register a vote. 

You are limited to casting up to 10 votes per couple, per voting method. You can vote for multiple couples and allocate your votes as you see fit; further details can be found on ABC’s DWTS site.

Voting is only live during the original DTWS broadcast in the ET/CT slot.
