Ezra Sosa had a three-word reaction to the Dancing with the Stars Season 35 Week 3 elimination.
Shortly after it was announced that singer Taylor Hanson and pro dancer Britt Stewart were the eliminated couple for the Yacht Rock theme night, Sosa, 25, commented on a TikTok video of the moment, writing, “I’m so pissed.”
The TikTok video showed Stewart near tears after saying ”Oh my God” when her and Hanson’s names were announced as the eliminated couple by host Alfonso Ribeiro. She then turned to Hanson and told him, “I’m so sorry.”
The caption to the post read, “Oh Britt was definitely holding back what she really wanted to say.”
Fans were stunned by the DWTS elimination, especially given that Hanson, 43, and Stewart, 36, were far from the lowest scoring couple on the live show. The two earned 18 out of 30 points for their foxtrot to the Doobie Brothers’ song “What a Fool Believes,” tying with two other couples who had that score, and much higher than final place finishers Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson, who only scored 15 points from the judges.
Stewart was all class while giving her final thoughts at the end of the show, telling Hanson, “Taylor, I am so grateful that I have you in my life. Thank you so much for everything. Thank you.”

Stewart, who joined Dancing with the Stars as the first Black female pro dancer in 2020, has never made it to the finals in the ABC celebrity ballroom competition. Her highest-charting season was fifth place in Season 31 when she was partnered with Daniel Durant, whom she would go on to marry in 2025.
Following her latest—and by far most shocking—elimination, fans showered Stewart with love and support on social media.
Sosa also posted a poignant message on his Instagram story, captioning a photo of the dancer with Hanson.
“This one really hurts,” Sosa wrote. “Britt, I am so proud of you and honestly just gut-wrenched for you. I hope you know how deeply loved you are and how much your light, heart, and talent mean to this show and to all of us who get to know and love you. You give so much of yourself every single season, and I just hope you know how special you are. You are a freaking superstar, always have been and always will be. I love you so much.”
Sosa is partnered with actress Julia Stiles for Dancing With the Stars Season 35.
