‘Dancing with the Stars 23’ results preview: Will Jana Kramer, Ryan Lochte, or Marilu Henner be eliminated?

Nobody wants to be eliminated on “Dancing with the Stars” the night of Halloween. Why would they? This is a day meant for costumes, silliness, and of course plenty of candy. The idea of also having to have your ballroom dream come to a close is rather soul-crushing.

Unfortunately, it’s going to happen on ABC Monday night, and we do genuinely believe that there are only three people who could be a target for such an exit from the show.

Marilu Henner and Derek Hough – They’ve done very well, especially given that Marilu is the oldest contestant still in the competition. However, her scores sometimes teeter all over the place and she’s battling some injuries.

Ryan Lochte and Cheryl Burke – He’s been arguably the worst overall dancer for a couple of weeks now, but his name coming out of the Olympics arguably has led to him getting more votes. While not any publicity is good publicity for a guy like him, being in the headlines seemingly is an asset to him during this competition.

Jana Kramer and Gleb Savchenko – It seems odd to proclaim that someone could go home a little over a week after getting a perfect score, but we do think that it’s possible here. She’s a good dancer, but the majority of viewers aren’t too familiar with either her or Gleb.

As for the other remaining Stars, it’s hard to envision a scenario in which Terra Jole, Calvin Johnson, Laurie Hernandez, or James Hinchcliffe get eliminated from the competition. They are all consistently strong, and we think they’ve got pretty good fan followings backing them up.

Tonight, the theme for “Dancing with the Stars” is (of course) Halloween. If you head over here now, you can see precisely what everyone is going to be performing! (Photo: ABC.)
