Jenna and Val were unexpectedly eliminated from DWTS during the most recent episode, and both of them have addressed the shocking result. <\/p>\n
Speaking with Good Morning America<\/a>, Jenn shared she’s “proud” of how much was thrown at them alongside the way “we showed up as a human and as a person through the process is what I’m proud of.” The two of them admitted that they both “felt sad” and ultimately just wanted to “dance more.”<\/p>\n Jenna continued: “Definitely not the way we wanted it to go, obviously. I was looking forward to dancing more and getting to create more pieces together, and it it’s sad. We’re sad about it. I’m I’m definitely bummed out, like I wish we could keep dancing. But there are a lot of positives to all this.<\/p>\n “I got to dance with my bucket list partner over here, and like I got to learn a whole new style of dance, and I got to bring my family here every week, and they they got to see me dance live. I mean, there’s a lot of great things. I haven’t danced in a long time, and it was nice to be back in that energy together, and I had a lot of joy. And so I’m going to choose to look at the positives here and focus on that throughout this whole process.”<\/p>\n In another interview with Extra TV<\/a>, Jenna claimed that her and Val’s DWTS elimination was the “shocker” for this season. Val added: “Every week uh every week’s a shocker so you know it’s very competitive, a lot of great couples out there wishing everybody the best, going to be rooting from home.”<\/p>\n Jenna shared that whilst the result is “definitely sad” that she has “no regrets” and feels like the two of them had a “great season.” <\/p>\n The interviewer asked Jenna why she thinks they got eliminated despite her having almost 10 million Instagtam followers. She responded: “You know, I don’t honestly know the answer to that, um I know it’s hard to know how this all plays into it. I know this was a particularly tough week for a lot of you know the online noise and all the stuff that comes with the show and I don’t know. I’ll never know how or if any of that plays into this, but I know that we went out there and had the best time of our life.”<\/p>\n She also has a message for Janet, sharing: ” She’s ready for lunch, she’s ready for girls’ night. Janet, now I’m really ready for a hang. We’re gonna come, Val’s coming too though, that’s the thing. We may not dance here again, but we will dance with you, Janet. We’ll come have a good time.”<\/p>\n For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like <\/i>Reality Shrine<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a> on <\/i>Facebook<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘Definitely a sad result’ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734183,"featured_media":66389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[2165],"class_list":["post-66384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dancing-with-the-stars"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/11\/were-the-shocker-jenna-and-val-break-silence-over-unexpected-dwts-elimination\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"‘We’re the shocker’: Jenna and Val break silence over unexpected DWTS elimination","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/11\/were-the-shocker-jenna-and-val-break-silence-over-unexpected-dwts-elimination\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/11\/were-the-shocker-jenna-and-val-break-silence-over-unexpected-dwts-elimination\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-7-1-150x150.png","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-7-1.png"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ellie Ring"}],"creator":["Ellie Ring"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Reality Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cropped-mX3_1x3z.png"},"keywords":["dancing with the stars"],"dateCreated":"2026-11-11T08:56:52Z","datePublished":"2026-11-11T08:56:52Z","dateModified":"2026-11-11T08:57:00Z"},"rendered":"
