Through two episodes of "Dancing with the Stars," just one of two athletes remain alive.
Season 34 of the series, which premiered last week, continued Tuesday night with the first two couple eliminations looming. The star-studded roster of contestants this season included both Jordan Chiles, a two-time Olympian, and Baron Davis, a former NBA All-Star.
While Chiles was safe from elimination in Episode 2, earning a 22/30 from the judges for her most recent dance, Davis didn't find the same luck. The retired basketball star was one of two contestants eliminated from the competition, earning a total of 28/50 from the judges over Episodes 1 and 2.

How does Dancing with the Stars scoring work?
Scoring on "Dancing with the Stars" is divided into two categories: judges and audience. During the episode, the panel of judges gives the dancers a score from 1 to 10. For Season 34, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli will all return as judges. Before the audience votes, the judges give the dancers a maximum of 30 points.
This is where the scoring can get confusing. What matters isn't exactly the number of points a dance gets, but how that number relates to the total number of votes the judges gave out. In the scenario that the judges give out 100 points throughout a round, with dancer A getting 10 and dancer B getting 20, then dancer A will have 10% of the judges' vote and dancer B will have 20% before audience votes are tallied.
Then, let's say dancer A gets 35% of the public vote, while dancer B only gets 5%. Dancer A's final score would be 45% of the vote, and dancer B would have gotten 40%. In this example, dancer A would move on, and dancer B would be eliminated.
Scoring is the percentage of the judges' votes added to the percentage of the audience's votes, for a total score.
