Dancing With the Stars’ second night of dances aired on Monday, which means the first couple of the season was sent home. The show shook things up a bit for Season 28 with a tweaked voting process. While judges’ scores and fan votes determine the bottom two competitors, the eliminated couple is chosen by the three judges: Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
Spoilers ahead for Monday night’s episode of Dancing With the Stars.

After the votes and scores were tallied, Mary Wilson and Brandon Armstrong were eliminated. It came down to the Supremes member and former NFL player Ray Lewis (who was partnered with Cheryl Burke) in the bottom two. While Inaba voted to send home Lewis, Tonioli and Goodman chose Wilson to get the boot.
Fans were pretty roused up about the decision, thinking the singer outperformed not only Lewis, but also former White House press secretary Sean Spicer and former NBA player Lamar Odom.
This is crap! Lamar should have gone this week. Sean should have gone next week. Mary was not the worst!! Lamar got all fours America! People don’t know how to vote. It’s not about who you like. It’s who you like that can dance!!! #DWTS
