Week 3 of Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a> was all about TikTok \u2014 from viral dances to trending songs, the ballroom turned into a social media playground. Each of the 12 remaining couples took on routines inspired by the app\u2019s biggest hits, bringing internet culture straight to primetime TV. And while the night delivered plenty of fun moments, it also ended with a surprising elimination that left fans buzzing.<\/p>\n

After last week\u2019s double elimination of Corey Feldman<\/strong> with Jenna Johnson<\/strong> and Baron Davis<\/strong> with Britt Stewart<\/strong>, the stars left to compete included Hilaria Baldwin<\/strong>, Danielle Fishel<\/strong>, Alix Earle<\/strong>, Andy Richter<\/strong>, Elaine Hendrix<\/strong>, Jordan Chiles<\/strong>, Dylan Efron<\/strong>, Scott Hoying<\/strong>, Robert Irwin<\/strong>, Lauren Jauregui<\/strong>, Jen Affleck<\/strong> and Whitney Leavitt<\/strong>. By the end of TikTok Night, however, Jauregui and Brandon Armstrong<\/strong> were voted off \u2014 a result that shocked both the audience and the contestants.<\/p>\n
