The following contains spoilers from tonight’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday, September 30. Former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui was sent home from Season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars” during Week three’s TikTok-themed night. Performing a high-energy cha-cha to the group’s hit “Work From Home” alongside professional partner Brandon Armstrong, Jauregui was criticized by judges for not “popping” enough. Despite her star power and musical background, the judges’ scores combined with audience votes placed her in the bottom two, ending her run on the show.

Jauregui & Fifth Harmony’s Frustrated Reaction

After her elimination announcement, Jauregui was asked how she was feeling to which she responded. “Pissed.” Fellow members of Fifth Harmony made an appearance at the end of her performance.

Jauregui’s routine demonstrated her commitment to both dance and performance. Armstrong guided her through intricate footwork and synchronized movements that highlighted her musicality and rhythm. The judges praised her stage presence but noted areas for improvement, particularly in timing and connection with her partner.

One judge commented, “Lauren has star quality and a natural rhythm,” acknowledging her potential if she had more time to refine her technique.

Fan Reaction & Voting

This week’s elimination follows a growing pattern in Season 34, where fan voting significantly impacts the competition outcomes. Jauregui’s shocked fans on social media.

Despite her strong performance, she could not secure enough votes to remain in the competition. The intensity of audience-driven scoring continues to shape the season, reminding viewers that popularity and performance are equally critical in the “Dancing with the Stars” format.

Fifth Harmony Legacy on the Dance Floor

Jauregui’s exit holds particular significance given the success of her former Fifth Harmony bandmates on the show. Normani, who competed in Season 24, reached the finale with impressive routines and audience support, earning high marks throughout the season. Ally Brooke, appearing on Season 28, also advanced deep into the competition, showcasing the group’s enduring talent and adaptability across dance styles.

Fans and fellow contestants expressed support for Jauregui after her elimination, praising her confidence and artistic expression. Social media platforms lit up with messages of encouragement, emphasizing her influence as both a musician and performer.

Armstrong also highlighted Jauregui’s dedication during rehearsals, emphasizing her ability to absorb complex choreography quickly and perform with authenticity.

Her elimination adds a new chapter to the legacy of Fifth Harmony members on “Dancing with the Stars,” highlighting both the pressures and rewards of televised dance competitions. With the girl group’s recent reunion at a Jonas Brother’s concert, fans worry this could delay any future collaborations.

GH Fans Sound off on Twist That Paints Nathan as a Villain

Fans are grappling with whether Nathan’s comeback is a blessing or a curse, sounding off in a heated discussion.

When Nathan was gunned down by Cesar Faison seven years ago, his death devastated Maxie and left his son James to grow up with only stories of his hero father. Now, General Hospital has flipped the script, bringing Nathan back from the grave with a case of supposed memory loss and a reunion that’s anything but straightforward. What should have been a happy homecoming took a decidedly dark turn when viewers spotted the unsettling, unspoken glances between him and Britt. She didn’t seem surprised by his return, and he had a malicious smirk on his face. Fans recently voiced their worries about a possible dark turn for Nathan.

A Child Caught in the Middle

On Facebook, one fan shared a picture of James (Gary James Fuller) and Nathan (Ryan Paevey) and poured their heart out in a lengthy comment. They explained how James felt his father was “a hero and he was killed in action before he was born” and only knew him through photos. The concern centered not just on the shock of Nathan’s return, but on the emotional fallout for James, who is far too young to navigate such a cruel twist of fate.

The fan ultimately ended speculating that if Nathan’s either not Nathan, or somehow turned into a villain, “the damage to that little boy will already have been done and where do you go from there to restore that innocence that was taken away from that 7-year-old little boy who always wanted to meet the hero [he calls] father?”

Fans Divided, But Emotional

Other fans joined in, with one commenting, “James will be one mixed-up little boy.” Another argued that if Nathan is brainwashed, perhaps he could come back around, while others simply shook their heads at what they called “cruel writing.” The debate showed just how split the fanbase has become, with some defending the story and others feeling the story should just play out.

But others weren’t so amenable, as one wrote, “I hate this story,” while another said flatly, “These writers must be on drugs.” Others, however, tried to take a lighter view, with one saying, “It’s a soap, not real life,” and another joking that James isn’t a real person. The core fear for James was summed up best with: “Children should never be used for a villain storyline.”

Whether Nathan is truly a villain or a victim of manipulation, fans agree on one thing: dragging James through the chaos may be the cruelest twist of all.

There was no farewell tour. No final speech. No moment when the world knew it was saying goodbye. On June 26, 1977, Elvis Presley stepped onto the stage for what would become his final performance — and no one in the arena realized they were witnessing the end of an era. The voice that changed music forever was still there. The connection with the audience was still undeniable. But something else was there too… a quiet struggle that makes this concert one of the most heartbreaking moments in rock history. Fans remember the pauses between songs. The visible exhaustion. The flashes of brilliance that reminded everyone who Elvis was — followed by moments that revealed how much the weight of it all had taken its toll. That night wasn’t tragic because it failed. It was tragic because he kept going anyway. Less than two months later, Elvis was gone. And this performance became an unintentional goodbye — a final glimpse of a legend giving everything he had, even when there was little left to give. It’s a moment that still haunts fans, not for what went wrong, but for what it revealed about the cost of greatness

The Glastonbury stage that night seemed far too vast for just one man. Barry Gibb, the sole survivor of the legendary Bee Gees, stood there tuning his guitar. There was no Maurice cracking jokes to his left; no Robin harmonizing on his right. Just him, and thousands of lights flickering like candles in the dark. As the melody of “How Deep Is Your Love” rang out, his voice still soared, but at the chorus, he abruptly stopped. He turned to gaze at two empty chairs placed beside him. The crowd froze. He wasn’t singing; he was listening—listening to the familiar harmonies echoing in his mind from 40 years ago. A single tear rolled down from beneath his sunglasses. What he whispered into the microphone right after that silence moved the entire stadium to tears…

It is said that when you spend a lifetime singing with your soulmates, you don’t just hear their…
