DWTS Wicked Night results (Oct. 21, 2025, Week 6): Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold were eliminated after votes from both Dedication Night and Wicked Night were combined with judges’ scores.

Why there was an elimination twist
There was no elimination on Oct. 14’s Dedication Night, so viewer votes across two weeks were combined with both nights’ judges’ scores to decide Wicked Night’s exit. E! reported that producers cited 100 million fan votes across the two-week span.

DWTS Wicked Night: judges, guest judge, and special moments
Jon M. Chu—director of Wicked and Wicked: For Good—served as guest judge with Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. The show opened with a Broadway‑scale medley choreographed by Christopher Scott. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo introduced the number by video, and the broadcast featured messages from Jonathan Bailey and Michelle Yeoh. Hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro also joined in-character during the opening.
Remaining season 34 couples after Wicked Night
Still dancing after Week 6: Jordan Chiles & Ezra Sosa, Robert Irwin & Witney Carson, Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas, Danielle Fishel & Pasha Pashkov, Dylan Efron & Daniella Karagach, Jen Affleck & Jan K, Elaine Hendrix & Alan Bersten, Andy Richter & Emma Slater, and Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy.
Quick take
The biggest storyline is momentum at the top. Whitney Leavitt grabbing the season’s first 10s at 39/40—and Jordan Chiles matching 39/40—tightens a budding two‑woman race, while Danielle Fishel and Robert Irwin posted career‑best 36s to keep pressure on the leaders. With a guest judge steeped in Wicked, multiple cinematic shout‑outs, and a two‑week vote pool, Week 6 rewarded polish and performance literacy. The elimination of Scott Hoying & Rylee Arnold—despite deep personal ties to Wicked—underscores how small technical gaps and multi‑week math can decide outcomes.
