‘DWTS’ Yacht Rock Night Starts With Season’s Highest Score, Ends in Heartbreak: Who Went Home?

Dancing With the Stars’ Yacht Rock Night was smooth sailing for some couples — and choppy waters for others.

The Tuesday, September 29, episode kicked off with Olympian Amber Glenn cruising onto center stage with partner Pasha Pashkov for a foxtrot to “Hold the Line” by Toto. Despite Pashkov facing a bloody nose injury in rehearsals, he and Amber came out on top with all 8s from judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.

“And the ice queen does it again, wow!” Hough said. “What a way to start the show. You turned this ballroom into your own personal ice rink. Just gliding across that floor effortlessly, so exquisite. Absolutely beautiful. We’re going to see a lot of foxtrots, so it’s going to be interesting to see everything side by side, but this one is going to be one to beat. What a way to start the show.”

When Bachelor Nation’s Tyler Cameron and pro Sharna Burgess later took the ballroom floor, the judges commented on his timing. “I’m upset with myself because I didn’t hit the timing at first,” he admitted, in part, before receiving a combined judges score of 17 out of 30.

After several show-stopping routines, DWTS ultimately said goodbye to Taylor Hanson and pro Britt Stewart. 

“This has been everything. This has been incredible. She’s showed me things I didn’t think was possible and I’m so grateful for this time,” Hanson shared with Stewart, who replied, “Taylor, I am so grateful that I now have you in my life. Thank you so much for everything. You are amazing.”

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Scroll down for a complete breakdown of each couple’s scores from Yacht Rock Night:
