ABC After two dances from each team left during the Dancing With the Stars semi-finals, two couples were sent home at the end of the night. The couple with the lowest combined scores and votes was Johnny Weir and Britt Stewart, meaning they did not have a chance to be saved by the judges. Visibly upset, Weir and Stewart walked off the stage without having time to get any comfort from the judges or the host before the judges decided to save Justina Machado and Sasha Farber over Skai and Alan Bersten. After the episode, Weir and Stewart talked to Us Weekly and other reporters about their loss. Weir felt that the show was more of a popularity contest than it was a testament to skills. A post shared by JOHNNY WEIR (@johnnygweir) During the comments to the press, Weir opened up about what it was like to lose and why he felt like he was eliminated over the other couples left in the competition. “It hurts a lot because it definitely feels like a popularity contest more so than a dance contest but that’s part of it,” he said.
