In the episode of Tuesday, October 15th Dancing with the starsThe couples returned to the ballroom for Dedication Night and performed heartfelt dances dedicated to the special people or institutions that have influenced their lives.

This week the judges visited the pairs to assess their progress and provide feedback as the competition reached the halfway point. Partner dances included contemporary dance, Viennese waltz, rumba, salsa, Argentine tango and foxtrot.

Dedication Night also saw Hayley Hough make an emotional return to film DWTS Ballroom. The troupe alum suffered a serious health shock last December when she was hospitalized for a cranial hematoma.

Hayley underwent a craniectomy, a major operation that removes part of the skull, and had to relearn how to walk and dance. She delivered a heartfelt performance to an acoustic rendition of Benson Boone's “Beautiful Things” alongside her husband, judge Derek Hough.

Three-time Mirrorball champion and former professional Mark Ballas also returned DWTS as a guest juror on Tuesday evening. Read on to see all the results from Dedication Night and find out which couple was sent home in this week's episode.

Who was eliminated? Dancing with the stars Week 5?

Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko were eliminated in Week 5 Dancing with the stars. During Dedication Night, they received the lowest combination of jury and viewer votes.

“It was great and we had so much fun,” Nader said when asked how much partnering with Gleb meant to her.

Gleb continued to thank Brooks for a great season. “It was so unexpected. I thought we were going to win,” he told her. “I had so much fun working with you. You’re super talented and I love you.”

When Julianne asked if she was a little shocked, Nader replied that she may have falsely manifested the elimination after jokingly telling Gleb, “Imagine if it were us.”

Last week, viewers said goodbye to Eric Roberts and Britt Stewart, as well as Reginald VelJohnson and Emma Slater, who had the lowest scores on Soul Train Night and Hair Metal Night combined.
