Ezra Sosa and Carrie Ann Inaba React to Britt Stewart’s DWTS Exit

Sosa, who was the first to approach the pair on the ballroom floor to offer comfort, did not hide his reaction to the departure. Commenting on a viral video of the moment hosts announced their exit, he expressed blunt dissatisfaction with the outcome. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba echoed this sentiment, writing online that the elimination “hurt” and praising Stewart’s consistent talent. Inaba previously identified the duo as a pair to watch during their debut week.

Despite earning an 18 out of 30 for their foxtrot to “What a Fool Believes,” the pair could not overcome the leaderboard pressure. Before the results, Stewart had spoken candidly about her connection with Hanson, describing their partnership as a meaningful experience and expressing genuine gratitude for his work ethic. During their final moments on stage, she apologized to the singer, who in turn thanked her for pushing him to achieve things he previously thought impossible.
