The pair received 34 combined points from the judges.

🔥 Quick Facts:

  • Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnik eliminated on October 28, 2025 during Halloween Night
  • They performed Contemporary to Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do”
  • Judges included Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Cheryl Burke
  • Nine couples remain competing for the mirrorball trophy

What Happened During Halloween Night

Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnik performed a spooky contemporary piece. Their song choice embraced the Halloween theme perfectly. Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” gave the performance an edgy, mysterious vibe. Jan’s background dancing in the Eras Tour strongly influenced their choreography choices.

The judges scored their performance at 34 points combined from their rehearsal footage. Combined with bonus points from the Dance Monster-thon segment, they landed seventh on the leaderboard. Unfortunately, when viewer votes were added, they received the lowest combined total scores. Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Cheryl Burke all evaluated the remaining pairs.

“This experience has meant everything to me. I cannot wait to talk about this in the future with my kids. I did this for my kids and I’m so grateful for the experience.”

Jen Affleck upon her elimination

Jan competed professionally despite criticism and defended his partnership fully. The two formed a strong connection throughout their seven-week journey together on the dance floor.

Why This Matters for Season 34

This elimination leaves eight remaining couples fighting for the mirrorball trophy. The competition narrows significantly as the season reaches its final weeks. Viewers got invested in Jen’s surprising dance journey from reality TV star to competitive ballroom performer.

The Halloween Night episode broke voting records with over 50 million votes cast across all platforms. Fans showed deep engagement with the themed episode. Strong audience participation meant eliminations hit harder. Jen brought charisma and improvement to every single performance week.

For the remaining celebrities, this sets a clear message. The competition intensifies dramatically from this point forward. Whitney Leavitt, another ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ star, remains in the race. The reality TV contingent proved they belonged competing against athletes, actors, and established performers.

Halloween Night Scores and Results Table

The Dance Monster-thon segment tested each couple’s endurance and skill simultaneously. Judges eliminated pairs one by one until one team triumphed. Here’s how the scoring broke down for week seven:

Celebrity & Pro Judge Scores Position
Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy 39/40 1st
Robert Irwin & Witney Carson 38/40 2nd
Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas 37/40 3rd
Jordan Chiles & Ezra Sosa 34/40 5th
Jen Affleck & Jan Ravnik 34/40 7th (Eliminated)
Andy Richter & Emma Slater 28/40 Bottom 3

All eight remaining couples competed fiercely for survival. Danielle Fishel delivered a strong performance with her professional partner Pasha Pashkov. Dylan Efron brought impressive energy alongside Daniella Karagach. The competition heats up dramatically heading into the final phase.

What to Watch For Next Week

  • Next themed episode focuses on Rock & Roll Hall of Fame night
  • Four remaining weeks separate dancers from the miracle-seeking mirror ball
  • The November 25 finale will crown the season 34 champion
  • Additional special nights include the 20th Birthday Party celebration
  • Prince Night falls during the semi-finals week

The remaining contestants must step up their performances considerably now. Eliminations get deadlier each week as weaker dancers depart. Alix Earle maintains her frontrunner status after scoring near-perfect.

Can Reality TV Stars Compete at Elite Levels?

Jen Affleck proved reality television personalities bring serious dedication to professional dance competition. Despite early skepticism, she improved week after week. Her emotional connection to the experience showed genuine love for the craft. Many celebrities from scripted entertainment have entered the competition.

Whitney Leavitt‘s continued success demonstrates the ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ cast carries talent beyond their reality platform. Both women showed they deserved competition alongside Olympic athletes and seasoned actors. Their journey inspired fans watching at home.

The bigger question remains: Will dancing ability ultimately prevail? Or do existing fan bases determine the champion? Viewer votes matter equally alongside judge scores. Reality TV stars often bring engaged, loyal audiences. This season proved that dedicated dancers command respect regardless of background.
