Following a dramatic week on Dancing With the Stars, both Hilaria Baldwin and Lauren Jauregui have officially exited the competition. Baldwin’s departure came after what producers described as a “mutual decision” stemming from scheduling conflicts and personal priorities.
The lifestyle influencer expressed gratitude toward her professional partner and fans during her final appearance, saying she cherished the experience but needed to refocus on family commitments. Her exit marks one of the season’s earliest unexpected withdrawals, shaking up the odds for Dancing with the Stars betting and giving the remaining contestants a chance to reimagine their strategies.
Jauregui’s departure, on the other hand, struck an emotional chord with viewers after a tense elimination night. Despite receiving strong praise from judges for her artistic performances, the singer faced a surprising drop in audience votes.
The season 34 cast has now been winnowed down to the final ten dancers. Two competitors, Robert Irwin and Aliz Earle, are separated by 25 points in the latest DWTS odds to win, with Whitney Leavitt also within reasonable striking distance.

During the most recent “Dedication Night,” Robert Irwin and his professional partner Witney Carson delivered a deeply emotional contemporary routine dedicated to his mother, Terri Irwin, which earned them a season-high score of 35 out of 40 from the judges.
During Disney Night in Week 4, Alix Earle and her professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed a Viennese Waltz to “Once Upon a Dream” from Maleficent, which was highly praised by fans and judges alike for its stunning choreography and graceful execution.
At Week 5’s Dedication Night, Alix delivered a deeply moving Contemporary routine dedicated to her younger sister, Izabel, set to Coldplay’s “Sparks.” This emotional performance won her a score of 35 out of 40, showing a vulnerable side that resonated widely with the audience and judges.
Entertainment gambling sites rate Whitney Leavitt third overall in odds to win season 34. For her Dedication Night performance, she teamed up with Mark Ballas for a deeply moving contemporary routine to the song “Heal” by Jamal Roberts, which she dedicated to her husband, Connor.
Judges and the audience were visibly moved, with Carrie Ann Inaba describing dance as “self-expression,” and the couple earned an impressive score of 33 out of 40, just one point behind front-runners Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.
Current entertainment props rate all other dancers at +600 or below, making each of them distant longshots to win.
