"Dancing with the Stars" Season 35 is down to 13 contestants heading into the third episode tonight, Tuesday, Sept. 29. The only famous Floridian on the 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 this season's premiere more than doubled the votes that came in for last season's premiere episode. And the second night of the premiere and last week's episodes both topped that voting record.
Here's who's gone home so far on "Dancing with the Stars" Season 35, what the weekly themes are this season, how to watch
the show and the list of celebrities still in the running to win.
