Whitney Leavitt Reacts to Husband Conner Leavitt’s Elimination from Dancing With the Stars
The dance floor just got a little less crowded.
Dancing With the Stars contestant Giada De Laurentiis was eliminated from the season 35 competition after ranking the lowest alongside ballroom pro Alan Bersten during week two.
In the Sept. 22 episode, the chef danced a tango to “Venus” by Shocking Blue, bringing the evening’s “Viral Hits Night” theme to life.
However, judge Bruno Tonioli described it as a “salsa without spice” and advised De Laurentiis to “go for it” like “jumping off a cliff.” Meanwhile, judge Carrie Ann Inaba summarized the performance with one word: “Shaky.”
After the judges revealed their scores of 12 out of 30, De Laurentiis remarked, “It’s disappointing, but hopefully people will vote for us, and I’ll get another shot.”
“I think I tend to go faster, and I need to learn to slow down,” the 56-year-old explained. “That’s my lesson to be learned.”
Following the elimination, she stated, “I tried my best, and it wasn’t best enough, but I did try my best.”
