On “Disney Villains Night,” a continuation of Dancing with the Stars’ two-night Disney event, Brian, an actor best known for his role on Beverly Hills, 90210, and his pro partner Sharna were ousted at the end of the two-hour broadcast after receiving the lowest total of judges’ scores and home-viewer votes from the last two performance shows.

In addition to Brian, the other two celebrities who landed in the bottom three based on the combination of judges’ scores and home-viewer votes were Matt — who starred on The Bachelor’s 25th season — and The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore, who then faced possible elimination with their respective pro partners Lindsay and Brandon Armstrong.
Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli were tasked with saving one of the two couples and sending the other couple home.
Bruno voted to save Matt and Lindsay, Derek opted to advance Kenya and Brandon, and Carrie Ann voted to keep Matt and Lindsay on the show.
And then Len — in a decision that seemed to surprise the ballroom, especially Lindsay, who said “wow” under her breath — voted to save Kenya and Brandon, which resulted in Matt and Lindsay going home.
Prior to the elimination portion of the evening, each of the 13 remaining celebrity and professional pairings performed in one round of competition for “Disney Villains Night,” dressed as some of the most memorable characters from Disney movies.
Emmy-nominated actress Melora Hardin and pro partner Artem Chigvintsev topped the two-night judges’ leaderboard, for both Monday and Tuesday night’s performance shows, with a total score of 73 out of 80 possible points from the four Dancing with the Stars judges.
Melora and Artem danced a jazz routine inspired by Tangled on Tuesday night that received 37 out of 40 possible judges’ points, including the first 10 of the season, which came from Len.
