Yacht Rock Night on DWTS Delivers Scores and Eliminations

The fourth episode of Dancing With the Stars season 35, titled Yacht Rock Night, featured couples performing to soft‑rock classics such as "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" and "Just the Two of Us." Judges scored each routine, and viewers voted through ABC’s website and text messaging, with voting ending shortly after the final performance. The episode’s lowest combined score and vote total determined the elimination, continuing the show’s weekly elimination format. Last week’s Viral Hits Night had taken Giada De Laurentiis and Alan Bersten from the competition, while Conner Leavitt and Sarah Jane Nader were eliminated during the premiere week. Couples who performed this episode included Jenna Dewan & Val Chmerkovskiy, Ciara Miller & Brandon Armstrong, and Taylor Hanson & Britt Stewart, among others. Scores for each pair were posted in a detailed table, showing the judges’ marks and audience votes. The episode aired Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern, simulcast on ABC and Disney+, and streamed on Hulu the following day. Viewers on the West Coast were advised to vote between 5 p.m. PT and 6:45 p.m. PT to ensure their votes counted. The episode concluded with the announcement of the couple eliminated for the week, continuing the competition’s suspenseful progression.
