Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars” aired its second episode on September 24 and all 13 couples hit the dance floor for the second time. ABC announced ahead of the week 2 episode of DWTS that a double elimination was looming.
As Entertainment Weekly noted, Reginald VelJohnson and Eric Roberts had low scores from the judges for their first dances. Given that, both celebrities had much to overcome in week 2.
Anna Delvey has been a controversial contestant in season 33, which could put her at risk of elimination. In addition, contestants Brooks Nader, Ilona Maher, and Tori Spelling landed in the bottom half of the week 1 scoreboard. They needed strong scores and votes to stay safe.
Who went home in the first double-elimination of season 33? Were there any shockers regarding who stayed and who departed?
At the end of the week 2 episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” Delvey and Spelling were eliminated.

The Couples in Danger of Elimination Were Announced
After all of the week 2 performances, the 13 couples of “Dancing with the Stars” season 33 faced the wait to learn if they were safe for another week or in danger of elimination.
As co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough went through the group, calling couples safe, there were a couple of surprises. Hough noted that she called the safe couples in “no particular order.”
Amendola, Kinney, Roberts, Graziadei, and Maher were the first five celebrities called safe. Next came safety calls for Howard, Tran, Nader, and Nedoroscik.
That meant Spelling, VelJohnson, and Delvey faced the danger of elimination.
To the surprise of many viewers, VelJohnson’s safety came next. As a result, Delvey and Spelling became the first celebrities sent home in season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Spelling was sad and joked she wasn’t leaving. Delvey, on the other hand, suggested she had gained “nothing” from her experience with the show.
The “Dancing with the Stars” results mean that viewers will see Roberts, VelJohnson, and the other remaining season 33 celebrities dance again in week 3.
