Fans were puzzled when an emotional segment was overshadowed by some sexy dancing
DANCING With the Stars fans were a little confused last night before Brooks Nader and professional dancer Gleb Savchenko were eliminated from the show.
Brooks and Gleb have been subject to rife romance rumors of late, with these coming to an abrupt halt last night (October 15), when the couple was sent home from DWTS.

The couple sadly lost out on making it into next week's show
But before the couple faced being eliminated, they performed a sexy dance that saw them score highly when the judges gave them generous 8s across the board.
When the model, 28, and her pro dancer, 41, wowed the judges, they were performing a salsa to J. Balvin’s Mi Gente.
The dance was dedicated to Brooks' younger sisters, who were part of the dance as well.
But fans of the show were baffled, to say the least, when Brooks and Gleb's sensual dance followed on from a very poignant segment on the show.
Derek Hough and his wife Hayley Erbert returned to the ballroom for the first time since she underwent brain surgery last year.
Last year, Hayley had to undergo emergency surgery when she experienced bleeding on her skull.
"I'm just thankful to be here and to have the opportunity to dance with my wife again," Derek said. "And to begin to tell the story. The full story."
For Hayley's emotional return, the couple performed a routine to Benson Boone's Beautiful Things on Dedication night.
Following the emotional performance, the couple shared a kiss before the audience erupted with applause.
The emotional dance the pair did left viewers and fans of DWTS feeling emotional and moved, with some saying they got "whiplash" after the next pair performed.
FANS SUFFERING 'WHIPLASH'
Next up was Brooks and Gleb, who strutted out onto the dancefloor and performed their steamy salsa routine.
"The whiplash going from Derek's heartfelt dance with his wife to Brooks and Gleb," penned one viewer.
"DWTS following up Derek and Hayley’s emotional dance with Brooks and Gleb was a choice…." said another.
A third person then added, "i sobbed during derek and haley then sat stunned during brooks and gleb."
"I know they did not just follow up the most emotional dance of all time with brooks grinding on gleb and her sisters shaking their butts," said a fourth.
A fifth then confessed, "I’m so glad they made Brooks and Gleb follow Derek and Hayley’s dance because the whole time i’m like 'damn, who would follow them??' and then it’s just someone I want to go home."
While a sixth said, "I have to ask…whose artistic decision was it to put Brooks and Gleb’s hornball clubbing dance after Derek and Hayley?"
And a seventh added, "Also who came up with the order of dances tonight? Because why am I watching gleb and Brooks through my dried tears from Hayley and Derek?!"
END OF THEIR JOURNEY
But despite fans being baffled by the order of the dances, the judges gave Brooks and Gleb a total score of 32 out 40, with the nation seemingly not impressed when it came down to the public vote.
When the couple were announced to be leaving the show after the results were in, fans took to social media to air their thoughts on the matter.
"Brooks & Gleb deserved to go home for their mediocrity and failed showmance that no one cared about," penned one, who touched on the couple's rumored romance.
"Y'all hated Brooks and Gleb's showmance THAT badly, huh?" asked another when the couple were voted off the show.
The pair recently enjoyed several PDA-packed dates in public, with them even getting matching tattoos on a spontaneous late-night outing.
But some aren't convinced that their whirlwind relationship is genuine.
Dancing With the Stars returns with Disney Night on Tuesday, October 22 at 8 PM ET on ABC.
