“Fury on the Dance Floor”: DWTS Fans Outraged Over Shocking ‘Wicked Night’ Elimination, DEMAND Justice and Claim Contestant Was ‘Robbed of Victory’

The ABC dance competition came to a close after a night of emotionally charged performances set to the music from both Wicked and the upcoming movie, Wicked: For Good. However, despite dances that saw some major improvements from some of the stars, as well as the first 10s of the season, the night saw the unexpected elimination of Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold after the judges' scores and fan votes from Dedication Night and Wicked Night were combined.
While some fans issued complaints over the soundtrack of the night, others accused judges of favoritism. After calling seven couples safe, the pairs in jeopardy were revealed to be Scott and Rylee, Andy richter and Emma Slater and Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach.
At the end, the Pentatonix singer was eliminated from the competition.
Fans quickly took to social media to share their fury, with many sharing that they felt it was wrong for the pair to go home while Andy Richter, who was always at the bottom of the judges’ leaderboard, remained in the competition.
“I’m absolutely heartbroken! Scott Hoying got eliminated! This elimination is homophobic! He didn’t deserve to go home! Andy Richter should have been eliminated! I’m shocked Dylan Efron was in the bottom three! I’m over it with the shocking eliminations! I’m furious!” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“Justice for Scott and Ryle bc how did they get eliminated over andy,” another said.
“I mean no disrespect but WTF!” a third added along with the hashtag #Scottandrileygotrobbed.
Others criticized those who were giving Andy what they called “Sympathy votes.”
“Andy is too grown for yall to be still giving him sympathy votes pls stop infantilizing old men,” one person said.
“Andy made it through with the sympathy votes,” another wrote.
“Andy is not even that old. Quit infantilizing him. Hold him to the standards that everyone else is at!” a third said on Reddit.
Others expressed fears that his base was bigger than expected, and that the show could face a similar polarizing situation like it did in Season 27, when Bobby Bones took home the Mirrorball.
“Rylee made it further with HARRY FREAKINH JOWSEY. Andy muts have millions in votes because wow. Rylee has votes too,” one person noted on Reddit.
“Please I need this season to not turn into bobby bones part 2 Andy needs to go yall it’s his time and that’s ok,” another added.

“THE SOUTHERN CHARM CIVIL WAR”: Patricia Altschul ACCUSES Madison LeCroy of STEALING Her $2 MILLION Salon Idea, CLAIMING Madison Secretly Filed Business Papers Behind Her Back and Used Her Husband to CUT HER OUT Completely
Charleston has officially turned into a battlefield, and the war isn’t over love — it’s over luxury, loyalty, and a $2 million salon empire that’s torn Southern Charm royalty apart.
According to multiple insiders, Patricia Altschul is “furious beyond words” after discovering that Madison LeCroy allegedly filed LLC documents for their joint high-end salon concept — The Charleston Edit — without her knowledge, effectively cutting Patricia out of the business she helped design and fund.
“Patricia came up with the entire vision — the décor, the branding, even the champagne menu,” an insider spilled. “Madison took the blueprint, changed the name, and filed the papers herself. Patricia didn’t even find out until her attorney called.”
The Betrayal That Shook Charleston
Sources say Patricia had been mentoring Madison for years, helping her transition from hairstylist to businesswoman. The two reportedly planned to open a luxury beauty space that would “redefine Southern elegance.”
But when paperwork for LeCroy Luxe surfaced — a salon owned entirely by Madison and her husband Brett Randle — Patricia allegedly realized she’d been blindsided.
“Patricia feels humiliated,” one friend said. “She trusted Madison like a daughter, but Madison used her connections, her money, and her ideas to build her own empire — then froze her out completely.”
Legal War Brewing
Patricia is said to be consulting with her legal team about potential intellectual property theft and fraudulent misrepresentation, claiming she was promised an equity share in writing. Meanwhile, Madison is reportedly downplaying the feud, insisting Patricia “had no legal involvement” in the venture and that her husband Brett “handled everything above board.”
“Brett was the one who told Patricia to back off,” another insider revealed. “He told her Madison didn’t need her approval anymore. That’s when everything exploded.”
Friends Divided, Cameras Rolling
The tension has already split the Charleston social circle. Craig Conover and Leva Bonaparte are said to be taking sides, with Craig calling Madison’s move “ruthless” and Leva insisting Patricia “should’ve stayed in her lane.”
Production sources confirm that Bravo cameras were rolling during a heated confrontation at Patricia’s mansion, where she reportedly threw down her martini and told Madison:
“You can take my chandeliers, darling — but not my ideas.”
The Fallout
Insiders claim Madison’s salon opening could now be delayed amid the mounting backlash and legal threats. Meanwhile, Patricia is plotting her next move — and it’s said to be as elegant as it is deadly.
“Patricia doesn’t scream — she strategizes,” a close friend whispered. “And Madison just declared war on the wrong queen.”
