Dancing with the Stars stayed near the top of U.S. search boards this weekend after Tuesday's Viral Hits Night. On Sept. 22, Season 35 eliminated celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis and her pro partner, Alan Bersten. Their salsa to Becky G's "Bella Ciao" scored 12 out of 30 — tied for the night's low with Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson. A dated Google Trends board snapshot the next morning had "dancing with the stars" at No. 2 in the United States, up from No. 5 after the live ABC episode.

That interest tracks a season already running hot. Deadline put the Sept. 15 male-celebrity premiere at about 6.67 million live-plus-same-day viewers — up 24% from Season 34 and the show's biggest premiere audience in six years. Among adults 18-49, the opener jumped 40%, and Disney flagged a strong delivery among women 18-34. ABC split a large 16-couple cast across two premiere nights with an elimination after each, then shifted into themed weeks. Co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough still front the live ballroom. After Viral Hits Night, 13 couples remain.

Entertainment coverage that fans were searching filled in the board. Page Six detailed a three-way judges' tie at 21 of 30 for Jenna Dewan, Amber Glenn, and Ezra Frech. The bottom-three danger zone also included Tyler Cameron with Sharna Burgess before De Laurentiis went home. Premiere week had already sent Conner Leavitt and Sarah Jane Nader packing.

New episodes still air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, then stream on Hulu the next day. Partner names, scores, and vote chatter will keep refreshing until the next live results lock. Fan vote talk often races ahead of official tallies after an elimination week. What the public record holds is clearer: a third celebrity is out, search interest jumped after Viral Hits Night, and 13 couples head into the next themed night.
