Dancing with the Stars live results: Updated scores for Jordan Chiles and more from 2025 DWTS Episode 5 image

The biggest emotional challenge of the competition fell on Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles tonight as she faced "Dedication Night" on Dancing with the Stars Episode 5. 

Chiles and her partner, Ezra Sosa, performed a deeply personal set to the raw, heartfelt notes of John Mayer’s “Daughters,” dedicating the routine to her father, Timothy Chiles. The famous gymnast credits her father for many of her successes and being there for her through "thick and thin."

The dedication proved intensely emotional in rehearsals, and so did the real event. The duo scored a 32/40 from the judges and brought both Chiles members full circle.

How does Dancing with the Stars scoring work?

The fate of every couple on "Dancing with the Stars" is determined by a 50/50 combination of the judges scores and audience support, giving viewers at home equal power to the judging panel.

Each week, the panel of judges — Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli — scores every couple on a scale of 1 to 10 per judge, totaling a maximum of 30 points. This total is then converted into a Judges' Score Percentage by taking the couple's score and dividing it by the total raw points awarded by the judges to all competing couples that night. For instance, if a couple receives 20 points, and the total of all judges’ scores given to every competing couple is 200, that couple is credited with 10% of the overall influence.

The audience vote is calculated as a Public Vote Percentage. This is determined by dividing the total number of votes a single couple receives by the aggregate votes cast for all couples that evening. This Public Vote Percentage is then directly added to the Judges' Score Percentage. The couple with the lowest combined total percentage from these two categories is eliminated from the competition, highlighting why even a low score from the judges can be overcome by fan voting.

Viewers at home have a limited window of time — exclusively during the live broadcast in the Eastern (ET) and Central (CT) time zones — to cast their votes. Fans may cast up to 10 votes per couple and can spread their support across multiple couples.

How to vote for Dancing with the Stars
