**Week 5's Super Bowl Night on October 13 features the 11 remaining couples performing unlearned dances to Super Bowl halftime show songs, with guest judge Joe Buck joining the panel.** After Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong's Week 4 exit on Mariah Carey Night—despite her personal-best 21/30 score—trader attention centers on fan voting dynamics, which have fueled past upsets and debates around audience support for certain contestants. Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas lead the leaderboard at 25/30, followed closely by trained performers like Harry Shum Jr., Jenna Dewan, and Ezra Frech at 24/30, while lower-scoring or less popular pairs such as Guillermo Rodriguez face higher elimination risk. Historical patterns show strong early momentum and pro partnerships often outweigh single-night scores, though the theme and live audience votes could shift the field before Dedication Night next week.
