DWTS scores tonight come from the judges while viewer votes also influence which couples remain. The three Season 35 judges are Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
How DWTS Scores Work
Judges score each performance out of 30 points. Viewer voting is combined with judges' scores to determine which couples advance.
Why the Lowest Score Is Not Always Eliminated
A couple can receive a low judges' score and still continue if its combined result with viewer voting keeps it safe. This happened in the Season 35 premiere and remained relevant during the early competition.
