Week 5

Super Bowl Night brought heavyweight energy to the ballroom, featuring a dead heat at the top of the judges' leaderboard. Jenna Dewan with Val Chmerkovskiy and Ezra Frech alongside Daniella Karagach each delivered week-high scores of 36, setting the benchmark for the evening. Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov kept the pressure on with a strong 34, while Julia Stiles and Harry Shum Jr. put up matching 33s. At the other end of the field, Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson posted a low of 22, ultimately getting sent home at the final whistle.

That dance floor action fueled a dominant offensive surge for Husbands with Opinions. Paul and Max swept the week's top two scoring pairs in Dewan and Frech, which comfortably absorbed the blow of losing Rodriguez to elimination. Meanwhile, The Better Halves could not produce enough firepower to keep pace. Despite Glenn’s stellar outing, slower numbers from Connor Wood at 25 and Tatyana Ali at 29 capped Beth and Aiden at 154 points, handing the Husbands a decisive 34-point victory for the frame with their 188-point haul.

Entering Week 6, Husbands with Opinions have expanded their overall lead to an imposing 90 points, topping the standings 723 to 633. However, with Paul and Max down a dancer on their active roster, the game is far from over. The Better Halves need their middle-tier performers to step up and post premium numbers next week if Beth and Aiden hope to mount a comeback and cut into this expanding deficit.
