'Dancing With the Stars' Fans Say Vernon Davis Didn't Deserve to Be Eliminated
The Top 11 took to the Dancing With the Stars ballroom for another round of routines on Monday. [...]
As the judges spoke to in making their final decision, Davis and Murgatroyd were showing improvements each week, granted at a slower pace than some contestants. In their first dance of the season, the two had a 17 followed up by an 18.

After that, though, the couple found a rhythm. They secured back-to-back 22s, including a rumba to Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" in the fourth week.

The two avoided an earlier elimination after landing the bottom two last week on 80s night. The judges chose to save them with all three votes, sending Jesse Metcalfe and Sharna Burgess packing.
prevnextDidn't know who @VernonDavis85 was a month or so ago, but I've loved watching he and Peeta on #dwts this season. Sad to see him go.

Aside from Davis' low score on Monday, one couple actually came in lower than both of the bottom two teams. That was Skai Jackson and Alan Berstein, who recorded an 18 with a Cha-cha-cha to Doja Cat's "Say So."

The night also had a little more excitement packed into it as one of the judge's, Derek Hough, came out onto the dance floor for a performance with his girlfriend, Hayley Erbert. It was Hough's first time dancing on the show since 2017.
