The Dancing with the stars The Season 33 cast got spooky during Halloween Nightmare Week.

Getting feedback from the judges was even scarier than usual during the Tuesday, October 29 episode as skeletal bones and skulls lined the table. Derek Hough dressed as a vampire Carrie Ann Inaba she did everything with the paint for her leopard costume and Bruno Tonioli he looked sharp in a blazer emblazoned with a glittering dragon.

While all the celebrity contestants and their professional partners performed routines that were nightmare fuel, only one duo shattered their mirror dreams at the end of the Halloween special. Stefan Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold and Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten had the lowest scores of the night, but Jen Tran and Sasha Farber they were finally sent home after the votes were counted.

Tran, 26, said she is “really so grateful” for her DWTS Experience after the results were revealed, noting that she “can’t imagine life” without Farber, 40, now that they’ve been partners for the past seven weeks.

In honor of the nightmare theme, the contestants shared some of their biggest fears during the episode. Danny Amendolahis partner Whitney Carsonbrought a giant snake to rehearsal to help the former NFL player deal with his phobia of reptiles.

“They’re scary, they’re sticky, I don’t like their fangs. One bite, you’re done,” Amendola, 38, told cameras of his fears before holding the snake around his neck. “I dealt with the snake. Now it’s time to deal with the Argentine tango.”

Inaba gave Howard and Karagach their first 10 of the season while Hough gave them a standing ovation. Inaba gave a lot of 10 during Halloween Nightmares, but found a routine in particular just heel.

Inaba’s streak of 10s ended after 24-year-old Kinney and Bersten’s Viennese waltz, which he gave a nine. As the audience booed, Inaba noted that she “wouldn’t call” the “very strong” dance “perfection” due to the “criteria” of the Viennese waltz.

Hough, however, told Kinney, “Like (the delay DWTS judge) Lean (Goodman) would say, “Hold my eyes,” before clapping her hands. “The quality of movement you did in that dance was truly, in my opinion, absolute perfection.”
