Watch: ‘Dancing With the Stars' Reveals Surprising Halloween Night Elimination

Jan Ravnik and Jen Affleck didn’t have enough tricks or treats to waltz into another week on the dance floor.

And that’s why they were the sixth couple eliminated during Dancing With the Stars season 34 on Halloween Night.

Jen reacted the news of their departure, telling hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, “This experience has meant everything to me. I cannot wait to talk about this in the future with my kids. I did this for my kids and I’m so grateful for the experience."

As for Jan—who recently faced criticism from former pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd—he added of his partner, "She’s a rockstar, that’s all I’m gonna say."

During the Oct. 28 episode, the pair danced Contemporary to Taylor Swift's “Look What You Made Me Do," fully embracing the spooky theme and honoring Jan's roots as an Eras Tour backup dancer.

They received 34 points combined from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Derek Hough and former DWTS pro and two-time champion Cheryl Burke, plus bonus points from the Dance Monster-thon, leaving them seventh on the leaderboard.

And while the pros and celebs are leaving it all on the dance floor, they understand that the judges are just trying to do their jobs.

“I am in the competition, so I might be biased,” Danielle's partner Pasha Pashkov told E! News following the series’ Oct. 21 episode, “but in reality, I think judges have the hardest job. Because it's one thing to give your opinion, you know, in a comment online or just in passing, but to then actually make that decision and pick up that number in front of millions of people watching, knowing that you might get a backlash on it is not easy.”
