It was TikTok Night in the ballroom of Dancing with the Stars, and OMG this was literally my favorite theme so far. Like, the songs? The vibes? The energy?? Sooo good. And before we even get into it, can we just talk about how ICONIC Charli D’Amelio was? Every time she performed I was glued to the screen. I swear if she doesn’t come on as a pro one day I will personally riot. She was born for this stage.
Okay let’s get into the dances because there’s a LOT to talk about 👀



Jen Affleck & Jan – 19/30
Not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but also… not good. 😬 I just don’t vibe with his choreography at all—it’s like every dance feels a little flat. Jen is trying, and she’s gotten better since week one, but this was not it. Definitely a weak start to the night and kind of boring. Her outfit? 10/10 tho.
⸻
Lauren & Brandon – 18/30
Okay, I was actually so excited for this because she was dancing to her own songs and she looked gorgeous. Like HELLO yellow outfits of my dreams!!! 🌼 But the choreography didn’t give what it needed to give. It was just kind of safe and meh. Still love her but… yeah.
⸻
Daniela & Pasha – 21/30
This dance gave me actual goosebumps. Dancing to Man Child? Genius. If you watched Girl Meets World then you KNOW how iconic Topanga and Maya were, so this was already a moment before she even stepped on the floor. And then the choreography? Stunning. The outfit? One of the best of the night—so elegant and beautiful. I was obsessed.
⸻
Jordan & Ezra – 24/30
You guys. I did NOT expect this to be that good. Like, Jordan has been fine so far but this week?? Whole different level. They are seriously improving every single week. The song is not my fave (actually kinda hate it lol) but the choreography matched it so perfectly I couldn’t even complain. The only thing holding them back was the outfits—super boring, not memorable at all.
⸻
Dylan & Dani – 23/30
I don’t know what it is about Dylan but he just has zero emotion on his face when he dances 😭 and when you’re doing a slow dance, that makes it sooo awkward. BUT let me just say Dani’s choreography was next level. She gave him so much to work with and honestly carried the whole routine. Their outfits were on point too so overall it looked pretty good.
⸻
Elaine & Alan – 21/30
This was… awful. Like straight up one of the worst of the night. Elaine was stiff, the choreography made no sense, and they literally wasted a good song. Like WHY would you ever make Gnarly into a tango??? That should be illegal. And the outfits were a crime in themselves—should’ve been lime green if they wanted to match the vibe. Just a big mess.
⸻
Whitney & Mark – 24/30
This is what TikTok Night is supposed to look like!!! Their dance was chef’s kiss perfection. The song, the choreography, the outfits, the chemistry—it all came together so effortlessly. Honestly, they made it look easy. I was just sitting there like YESSS the whole time. Loved every second.
⸻
Scott & Rylee – 22/30
This was SO good!!! Definitely Rylee’s best choreography so far this season. It just worked—the energy, the movements, the way they looked together. And the outfits? Adorable. I was smiling the whole time watching this.
⸻
Hilaria & Gleb – 22/30
I cannot with this dance. No ma’am. She was stiff and awkward the entire time and Gleb’s choreography was not helping. The outfits? Nope. The vibe? Nope. The only thing saving it was the song and even that wasn’t enough. I’m sorry but she needs to go.
⸻
Andy & Emma – 18/30
Not the trainwreck I thought it would be, honestly. He’s still really stiff but he has such a fun personality and Emma knows how to choreograph around his weaknesses, so it was watchable. The outfits were cute too. But yeah, still bottom tier for me.
⸻
Robert & Whitney – 22/30
STAN ALERT 🚨 These two can do no wrong in my eyes. Every week they show up and give such a clean, strong, and entertaining performance. Robert just feels so natural on the dance floor, and Whitney? Absolute queen as always. The outfits were gorgeous, the choreography hit all the right notes—it was just so good. Still my favorites of the season.
⸻
Alix & Val – 23/30
When they brought in Molly Long I literally screamed. That was such an iconic move and they delivered on it. The execution was sharp and fun, and their outfits were HANDS DOWN the best of the night. I loved every second of it.

❌ Eliminated This Week
Lauren & Brandon 😭😭😭
I literally cannot believe this. Like yes, her dance was a little boring but there were at least THREE other couples who should’ve gone before her. Total robbery.
💫 Outro:
And that’s a wrap on TikTok Night!! Honestly, this week was a rollercoaster—some couples ate, some flopped, and don’t even get me started on that elimination (still mad 😤). But that’s the beauty of DWTS, right? Every week it’s something new and dramatic.
Who were your faves this week? Do you agree with my rankings or do you think I’m being too harsh? 👀 Drop your thoughts in the comments or DM me because I need to scream about this with someone lol.
See you next week for even more drama, glitter, and questionable choreography ✨💃🕺
