Week 3

Movie Night brought high-stakes drama to the ballroom with the season's first double elimination. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson stole the spotlight by securing the first perfect score of the season with a flawless 30. Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov also dazzled by posting a 29 and claiming the challenge win, while Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy kept pace with a sharp 29. When the credits rolled, the ballroom bid farewell to Jackson Olson and Emma Slater alongside Conner Leavitt and Adele Zaikman.

The double cut fell evenly across fantasy benches, claiming one dancer from each side, but the scoreboard belonged to Paul & Max. Powered by Harry's monster 35-point performance and strong marks from Jenna Dewan and Ciara Miller, Paul & Max tallied 212 points on the night. Beth & Aiden countered with 200, leaning heavily on Amber Glenn's 32-point haul and 28 points from Ezra Frech, but they ultimately conceded a 12-point weekly swing.

Through three weeks of competition, Paul & Max now lead the league with 588 total fantasy points, expanding their cushion to 33 over Beth & Aiden at 555. With both lineups trimmed to seven couples, every misstep will carry extra weight heading into Week 4. Beth & Aiden will need their mid-pack couples to close the gap before Paul & Max pull away entirely.
