His Reaction To Near Elimination On Wicked Night

The remaining Season 34 contestants had an emotional night of dedication dances last week. Due to the emotional toll, the show didn’t send anyone home that night. But that meant at least one couple had to go home this week.

Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach were in the bottom three along with Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold. Andy Richter and Emma Slater were the third couple at the bottom. Despite having a higher score than Andy and Emma, Scott and Rylee went home. 

Entertainment Tonight caught up with Dylan and Daniella after the shocking elimination. He said that he doesn’t want to go home yet because he’s having so much fun. They both agreed that they need to up their game to stay in the competition. Daniella said it was difficult because they really have no idea how the votes are going.

Next week is Halloween Night. The details of the dances haven’t been revealed yet. But DWTS fans can expect to see a former pro return as a judge.
