'Dancing with the Stars' eliminated a second celebrity cast member and her partner during night two of the Season 35 premiere.
Premiere night two only included performances from the female stars, where they all danced to hit songs from the year they were born. New York's own Ciara Miller hit the ballroom for the first time, performing to "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" by Whitney Houston.
Like the male stars on Tuesday, one of the female stars was eliminated at the end of the show, leaving 14 remaining stars heading into week two of 'Dancing with the Stars.'
Connor Leavitt was the first star eliminated on premiere night one with his partner Adele Zaikman. Which female star had a similar fate at the end of last night's episode? Is Ciara, the New York reality
star, still in the competition?
Here is everything you need to know about night two of the 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 35 premiere, including the judges' scores and elimination results.
Who was eliminated from 'Dancing with the Stars'?
Sarah Jane Nader, a reality TV personality and sister of Brooks Nader, who competed in Season 33 of 'DWTS,' was eliminated during night two of the Season 35 premiere.
She was partnered with Hailey Bills, a first-time 'Dancing with the Stars' pro, who will continue to participate in group dances with the rest of the pros, but will no longer compete to win the Mirror Ball.
The pair danced the jive to "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne and received a combined score of 14 from the judges. Sarah Jane Nader and Haley Bills were not the lowest-scoring duo of the night, as Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik received a combined judges' score of 12.
How do eliminations work on 'Dancing with the Stars'?
'Dancing with the Stars' eliminations work by tallying up the totals of each duo's scores from the judges, along with how many votes they received from the public.
Online voting was working during night two of the Season 35 premiere, so both text-in and online votes were counted.
Though Sarah Jane and Hailey were not the lowest-scoring duo by the judges, they did receive the least amount of votes from the public, giving them the lowest totals of the night.
Who received the highest judges' score on 'DWTS' last night?
Maura Higgins and her professional partner Mark Ballas earned a score of 21, putting them at the top of the leaderboard for premiere night two.
The pair, who met while competing in Season 4 of 'The Traitors,' danced the foxtrot to "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles.
What were the scores on 'Dancing with the Stars' premiere night two?
The three 'Dancing with the Stars' judges, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough, gave out scores for each of the duos. Their scores were then totaled up and combined with the number of votes from the public to determine which couple would be eliminated.
Here is how the female stars and their partners scored on night two of the 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 35 premiere:
