DWTS Halloween results: Tyler Cameron and Jackson Olson leave

Tyler Cameron and Jackson Olson were eliminated from Dancing with the Stars on October 27, ending their season 35 runs during Horror Movie Night. Cameron competed with Sharna Burgess, while Olson partnered with Emma Slater. ABC News' updated elimination record confirms both departures.

The result leaves eight celebrity-professional partnerships in the competition. It also supplies the outcome missing from NewsCubby's earlier television preview: the Halloween episode was a double elimination after the previous week's Dedication Night sent nobody home. This report contains results spoilers.

Who went home on Horror Movie Night?

Cameron and Burgess were one of the two partnerships eliminated at the end of the broadcast. Olson and Slater were the other. TV Insider's completed recap and ABC's results record agree on the departing couples. The outcome should not be confused with the predictions published before the show.

That distinction is especially useful when searching the morning after an episode. Articles forecasting danger can remain prominent after a result is known, and a live blog's original headline may continue to appear in search results after its body has been updated. A completed recap or an updated results page is the better reference for who actually left.

Cameron's departure also drew coverage from Bachelor Nation, which followed his participation with Burgess. That establishes the connection to his existing reality-television audience. It does not establish how that audience voted, or whether a particular group determined the result.

Olson's elimination closes the competition chapter he shared with Slater. The important confirmed fact is that the partnership did not advance. Without a released voting breakdown, a recap cannot calculate the exact contribution of an online fan campaign, a celebrity's follower count or one judge's individual score to either departure.

Why were two couples eliminated?

The previous episode, Dedication Night, ended without an elimination. USA TODAY's episode preview explained that the following week's outcome would incorporate scores and fan votes carried forward from that broadcast. Horror Movie Night therefore concluded a two-week competitive window rather than operating as an isolated evening.

The practical effect is that a strong routine on the second night cannot be assessed without the earlier result and the voting component. Viewers who watch only a single clip may see a convincing performance without seeing the full basis for the competition outcome. A highlight video is useful for enjoying the dance, but it is an incomplete scorecard.

ABC's record shows that nobody left Dedication Night and confirms the subsequent double departure. That sequence explains the reduction from ten couples to eight. There is no need to treat two eliminations as evidence of a surprise change in the rules when the format had been announced before the broadcast.

For a returning viewer, the main adjustment is to follow the complete scoring period. Carryover weeks change what an individual night's position can tell you. They do not remove the importance of a performance; they place it within a larger result.

What stood out in the ballroom?

Halloween provided the episode's visual and musical theme. The remaining celebrities performed routines connected with horror films, with guest judge Shirley Ballas joining Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli. Parade's recap describes the mix of Argentine tango, contemporary and other styles used across the evening.

Parade reports that Shum and Johnson earned a ten from each of the four judges for their contemporary performance. That is a straightforward technical milestone: four scores at the maximum produce a perfect panel total. It is separate from a prediction that the partnership will win the season.

The distinction matters because an episode can produce more than one meaningful result. One couple can reach a performance milestone while two others leave the competition. A recap that focuses only on departures misses the developing standard of the remaining field; a recap focused only on a standout routine misses the actual change in who can still compete.

Costumes and recognizable movie references also give viewers an accessible way into unfamiliar dance styles. The visual theme can make a routine memorable, while the judging still addresses how the dancers execute the assigned work. Enjoying the theme and evaluating the dance are related experiences, but they are not identical judgments.

Who remains in season 35?

ABC's current list identifies the eight remaining partnerships as Julia Stiles with Ezra Sosa; Jenna Dewan with Val Chmerkovskiy; Tatyana Ali with Jan Ravnik; Ezra Frech with Daniella Karagach; Amber Glenn with Pasha Pashkov; Connor Wood with Rylee Arnold; Harry Shum Jr. with Jenna Johnson; and Maura Higgins with Mark Ballas.

The list is best read as the surviving field, not a ranking. Names appearing first on a results page do not necessarily indicate a higher combined score, a stronger vote total or a better chance of winning. Those are different claims that require their own evidence.

For viewers who know only some of the celebrities, keeping the partnerships together also avoids a common source of confusion. There are two Jennas, two Ezras and several professionals familiar from earlier seasons. Full names help distinguish Dewan from Johnson and Frech from Sosa when following routines, scores and interviews.

The professional partner is part of the competition story rather than an optional credit. Each celebrity's progress is presented through a specific partnership, including the assigned choreography and performance. Listing only the celebrity can make it harder to connect a result with the routine a viewer remembers.

What can the results tell us about the audience?

The eliminations establish which couples did not advance under the program's combined process. They do not provide a demographic survey of viewers. A social post's popularity, the volume of comments in a fan community and the number of eligible votes cast are different measures, even when they point toward the same celebrity.

Google's trending-search list and the public X trend tracker showed interest in the show during the broadcast window. Those observations support the narrower conclusion that people were searching and discussing DWTS. They cannot identify an individual voter's choices or reconstruct an unreleased voting margin. Google Trends, U.S. X trend tracker.

Likewise, betting or prediction-market prices published before the episode are forecasts, not results. A correct forecast does not become an official vote count afterward. Readers looking for a recap should prioritize the confirmed departures and the broadcaster's surviving-couple list over market odds or speculative fan arithmetic.

That approach leaves plenty to discuss: favorite performances, choreography, visible progress and the choices made by judges. It simply keeps those judgments grounded in what the broadcast and named reporting establish.

Where can viewers catch up, and what comes next?

ABC lists the program's regular broadcast time as Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET, with simultaneous streaming on Disney+ and episodes available the following day on Hulu. Viewers should check the next episode's current listing, particularly when comparing live availability with a later replay. The voting window and a streaming replay are separate experiences.

The immediate consequence of Horror Movie Night is an eight-couple field. Any next theme, schedule change or additional departure needs a current announcement rather than an assumption based on a previous week. For now, Cameron and Olson are out, while the remaining partnerships continue their pursuit of the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
