Who Will Win 'Dancing With The Stars'? Ariana Madix And Xochitl Gomez Out In Front

"Dancing With The Stars" produced some beautiful moments in time on Tuesday's "Whitney Houston Night,” and now just six contestants remain to battle it out for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Barry Williams won't be dancing with somebody next week after he was eliminated from the competition on Tuesday night, which came after Lele Pons went home in last week's "Music Video Night.”

'Queen Of The Night' Madix

Billy Porter was a guest judge on this week's episode, joining regular panelists Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, meaning Tuesday night's scores were out of 40, rather than 30, and Ariana Madix scooped 39 out of the 40 points for her near-perfect paso doble to "Queen Of The Night.”

Following her exploits, she is now +200 joint favorite with Xochitl Gomez after two impressive weeks.

Madix finished the night with 42 points after she had three bonus points added for achieving the highest individual dance score on last week's "Music Video Night.”

That meant she was exempt from Tuesday night's dance-off, in which the couples went head-to-head to perform a dance of the same style, and the victor in each dance-off earned an additional three points for their scores.

Gomez lost her dance-off to Charity Lawson, but she had already amassed a perfect 40-point score for her tango earlier in the night.

Lawson's Shock Brush With Elimination

Lawson and Jason Mraz landed in the bottom three alongside Williams, but it was the latter who went home.

While Lawson seemed to impress the panelists on the night with a score of 36 for her Viennese waltz, plus three bonus points after defeating Gomez in the dance-off, she is at +500 to win the contest, from +300 a couple of weeks ago, after her brush with elimination.

Mraz was an early favorite to win "Dancing With The Stars" Season 32, but his price has been fading for a while now. He is at +800, the same as Alyson Hannigan, who has impressed in the past two weeks.

However, Harry Jowsey is propping up the market in the futures betting after two tough weeks on the dance floor.

Jowsey has recorded the lowest score on the leaderboard for two weeks, including just 28 out of 40 for his Viennese waltz on Tuesday night.

He has drifted to +1400 to win the show, from +1200 a couple of weeks ago, and may not be part of the competition for too much longer if his scores are anything to go by.
