It's time for the first elimination on "Dancing with the Stars" season 23. But before we found out the results, we saw recaps of the 13 pairs' dances, and a routine featuring returning pros Cheryl Burke, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Derek Hough. There were also musical performances by Charlie Puth who sang "We Don't Talk Anymore" and Gavin DeGraw who catered the crowd with his hit "She Sets the City On Fire".

Topping the leaderboard after two weeks of performance, Laurie Hernandez and her pro partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy were the first to be declared safe. Surprisingly, Rick Perry and Emma Slater who were the lowest scorer were also safe.

Following their footsteps next were Marilu Henner & Derek Hough, Babyface & Allison Holker, Calvin Johnson & Lindsay Arnold, Vanilla Ice & Witney Carson as well as James Hinchcliffe & Sharna Burgess.

Maureen McCormick & Artem Chigvintsev, Ryan Lochte & Cheryl Burke, Jake T. Austin & Jenna Johnson and Amber Rose & Maksim Chmerkovskiy were in the bottom four, meaning that the rest, Terra Jole & Sasha Farber and Jana Kramer & Gleb Savchenko, were safe.

Eventually, one pair had to go home tonight and they were Jake and Jenna. They were the second lowest scorer with four more points than Rick & Emma, but Jake was among some celebrity contestants who showed improvement in the second week. However, the judges complained about his timing and the lack of connection with his pro partner.
