Week 2 of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 35 had the remaining 14 contestants dance to viral hits last night, Sept. 22, and by the end of the night, only 13 were left. The only famous Floridian on this season, "Bachelorette" alum Tyler Cameron, made it through week two and is still in the competition.
Season 34 last year was the highest-rated and most-watched season of "Dancing with the Stars" in 10 years, a milestone that this season may have already reached. The volume of votes from the first night more than doubled the votes that came in for last season's premiere episode. The second part of the premiere last week and this week's episodes both topped that voting record.
