Dancing With the Stars Unveils 16-Contestant Season 35 Cast as 2 Eliminations Loom

Q: Which male celebrity will face instant heartbreak after performing to their birth-year anthem on night one of the premiere?

It was not known in advance which male celebrity would be eliminated after night one. What was clear before the premiere was the setup: the men performed Tuesday to No. 1 songs from their birth years, and one male contestant would be sent home immediately based on judges’ scores and viewer votes. The night-one male lineup was Tyler Cameron, Ezra Frech, Taylor Hanson, Conner Leavitt, Jackson Olson, Guillermo Rodriguez, Harry Shum Jr., and Connor Wood. Pre-show reporting and prediction markets pointed most strongly to Taylor Hanson as the most likely male contestant to face that “instant heartbreak,” especially because only male celebrities were eligible for elimination on the first night. But that was a projection, not a confirmed result. So if the question is asking who was expected to be at greatest risk before the episode aired, the answer is Taylor Hanson. If it is asking for the confirmed eliminated contestant, the provided materials do not definitively state that result.

Season 35 opens with unusually high stakes because two contestants will be eliminated during the two-night premiere, raising pressure on stars still adjusting to new partners and choreography.
