Dancing With the Stars Season 35 Premiere: Conner Leavitt Eliminated
Are Mayci Neeley and Layla Taylor Leaving ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?’ Conner Leavitt Says…
One star is unfortunately evacuating the dance floor.
After the male celebrities competed on night one of the Dancing With the Stars season 35 premiere Sept. 15, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Conner Leavitt and his pro partner Adele Zaikman were eliminated and will officially be hanging up their dancing shoes.
“This has been the most fun,” Leavitt said after being cut. “I have the greatest dance partner in the world in Adele. I can’t wait for the world to get to see her talent.”
Zaikman, who joined the cast after winning Next Pro, added of the 32-year-old—whose wife Whitney Leavitt competed last season—”It’s a dream come true no matter what, and I’m so lucky that I had Conner. I had so much fun, and thank you so much for everything.”
It was a tough decision for America—and the judges—to make over the two-night premiere, which was split by sex, with the female stars set to perform on Sept. 16 ahead of a second elimination.
Not to mention, every duo had quite the personal performance, as the theme enlisted the pairings to dance to a song that debuted the year each contestant was born. While Leavitt and Zaikman ultimately couldn’t best their competition, their salsa dance to “Whoomp! There It Is” was certainly a sight to behold.
