Dancing With The Stars, Dedication Night airs live tonight, Tuesday, October 20, from 8 to 10 p.m. ET on ABC, streaming at the same time on Disney+. Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough co-host, joined by judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Kym Johnson. Each couple builds a routine around someone close to them, and judges’ scores combine with the live audience vote to decide who moves on. It’s historically one of the most emotional nights of the season, and it tends to shake up momentum heading into the competition’s back half: tonight’s suspension drama around Val Chmerkovskiy only raises the stakes.

Who Is in Danger of Elimination This Week?
The last 5 weeks tell a clearer story than any single night’s scores.
Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess have spent most of the season within reach of the bottom of the leaderboard, and Jackson Olson and Emma Slater followed a similar pattern after a rough Super Bowl Night. Tatyana Ali sat in danger through Weeks 2 to 4 before settling into safer ground.
Scores don’t always decide the outcome. In Week 5, Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold posted the night’s second-lowest total, yet the vote sent home Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson instead: a couple that had leaned on audience goodwill for weeks.
On Kalshi’s “Dancing with the Stars · Episode 7 Elimination” prediction market, Jackson Olson and Tyler Cameron are running neck and neck at the top, with Tatyana Ali a step behind. More than $6 million has traded on that single-episode market.
Worth noting: last year’s Dedication Night skipped elimination entirely, so tonight’s result isn’t guaranteed.
