The following contains spoilers from tonight’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday, September 30. Former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui was sent home from Season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars” during Week three’s TikTok-themed night. Performing a high-energy cha-cha to the group’s hit “Work From Home” alongside professional partner Brandon Armstrong, Jauregui was criticized by judges for not “popping” enough. Despite her star power and musical background, the judges’ scores combined with audience votes placed her in the bottom two, ending her run on the show.


Jauregui & Fifth Harmony’s Frustrated Reaction

After her elimination announcement, Jauregui was asked how she was feeling to which she responded. “Pissed.” Fellow members of Fifth Harmony made an appearance at the end of her performance.

Jauregui’s routine demonstrated her commitment to both dance and performance. Armstrong guided her through intricate footwork and synchronized movements that highlighted her musicality and rhythm. The judges praised her stage presence but noted areas for improvement, particularly in timing and connection with her partner.

One judge commented, “Lauren has star quality and a natural rhythm,” acknowledging her potential if she had more time to refine her technique.


Fan Reaction & Voting

This week’s elimination follows a growing pattern in Season 34, where fan voting significantly impacts the competition outcomes. Jauregui’s shocked fans on social media.

Despite her strong performance, she could not secure enough votes to remain in the competition. The intensity of audience-driven scoring continues to shape the season, reminding viewers that popularity and performance are equally critical in the “Dancing with the Stars” format.


Fifth Harmony Legacy on the Dance Floor

Jauregui’s exit holds particular significance given the success of her former Fifth Harmony bandmates on the show. Normani, who competed in Season 24, reached the finale with impressive routines and audience support, earning high marks throughout the season.

Fans and fellow contestants expressed support for Jauregui after her elimination, praising her confidence and artistic expression. Social media platforms lit up with messages of encouragement, emphasizing her influence as both a musician and performer.

Armstrong also highlighted Jauregui’s dedication during rehearsals, emphasizing her ability to absorb complex choreography quickly and perform with authenticity.

Her elimination adds a new chapter to the legacy of Fifth Harmony members on “Dancing with the Stars,” highlighting both the pressures and rewards of televised dance competitions. With the girl group’s recent reunion at a Jonas Brother’s concert, fans worry this could delay any future collaborations.

Kiki Monique Clarifies If Scheana Shay Was Involved in RHOC Roofie Rumor as She Reveals Exactly Who Told Her & How Tamra Judge Found Out

Kiki Monique clapped back at an accusation that she “fooled” people with a story about

Gretchen Rossi. The radio host then shared whether Scheana Shay was involved, and she detailed how Tamra Judge allegedly found out about the allegation (which she revealed on Real Housewives of Orange County).In the new season, Tamra claimed a reliable journalist told her that Katie Ginella told Kiki that Gretchen had accused Tamra of drugging her in the past. Gretchen denied it. Kiki then confirmed on camera that Katie said this at a lunch.

But recently, Tamra claimed that Scheana (who’s friends with Gretchen) started it all by passing the ‘drug’ rumor to Kiki, her podcast co-host. Scheana then denied it and suggested that Tamra was scheming behind the scenes.

In a past interview on Watch What Happens LiveAndy Cohen asked Tamra, “Who is one Bravolebrity you are not looking forward to crossing paths with at BravoCon?”

“Scheana Shay,” answered Tamra at the time in a post shared by @bravobreakingnews on Instagram. “She created [the Gretchen stuff]. I know she’s trying so hard to get on Orange County. When we did the Upfronts, Brock and Scheana both told me that’s her dream job.”

In the comments of the post, a fan wrote, “So did Scheana REALLY start this rumor? Is that the consensus? Never thought we’d end up here and I had no idea who to believe—I know Gretchen said it to Katie but Kiki def had me fooled if this is the case.”

Kiki then responded, “Scheana did absolutely nothing. Katie told me. I fact checked with Dave Quinn off the record. Dave Quinn told Tamra. Tamra brought it up on camera.”

“It’s no mystery,” she went on, via @commentsbybravo on Instagram. “I’m the only person who has been consistent in my story. Anyone saying or suggesting otherwise is lying.”

At one point in the season, a lie detector test suggested that Katie wasn’t being truthful in her claims about Gretchen. But Katie has since publicly questioned the polygraph, hinting that her co-stars set her up.

New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County air on Thursday nights on Bravo.
