Elimination Details and Performance Overview
On October 28, 2025, Jen Affleck and her partner Jan Ravnik were eliminated from Season 34 of *Dancing With the Stars* during the Halloween-themed episode. The couple performed a contemporary dance to Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do," earning a score of 32 out of 40 from the judges, along with 2 additional points from the dance marathon, placing them seventh on the leaderboard with a total of 34 points. This marked them as the sixth couple to be eliminated this season.
Speculation of a Feud
Following their elimination, Jen Affleck hinted at a rift with her *Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* co-star Whitney Leavitt during an Instagram live session. When asked whom she would support in the competition, Jen stated she would be voting for Andy Richter and Robert Irwin, and mentioned a "former MomTok person" without naming Whitney, which many interpreted as a pointed remark. This has led fans to speculate about a potential fallout between the two, especially since Whitney was a frontrunner in the competition, having won the dance marathon that night.
Official Statements and Reactions
In her post-elimination comments, Jen expressed gratitude for the experience, stating, "This experience has meant everything to me. I cannot wait to talk about this in the future with my kids. I did this for my kids and I’m so grateful for the experience." Meanwhile, Whitney Leavitt, while acknowledging the hard work of all contestants, praised Jen's performance, saying, "It sucks because all of us work so hard to be here. She worked so hard. I loved her dance tonight."
Criticism and Controversy
The elimination night was not without its controversies. Jan Ravnik faced criticism from former *Dancing With the Stars* pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who questioned his qualifications as a professional dancer. In response to the criticism, Jan stated he had "no comment" but emphasized the support he received during the competition. He described Jen as a "rockstar" and expressed pride in their journey together.
What's Next for the Contestants
As the competition progresses, the remaining contestants will continue to perform weekly, with the next episode themed "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night" scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ongoing dynamics between Jen and Whitney, as well as the implications of their rivalry, are expected to unfold further in the upcoming season of *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*, which premieres on November 13, 2025.
