Dancing With the Stars season 30 has been in ~full swing~ for about six weeks now, and some of your faves have taken to the stage to show what their lil two step is made of. Many have progressed to the next week, and a few others, well, haven't been as lucky.

ICYMI aaallll the way back on September 8, ABC unveiled the 15 celebrities putting on their dancing shoes this year. Before the official announcement and full list came, fans ofc sleuthed a few of the competitors pre-reveal: Olympic gold medalist Sunisa “Suni” Lee, multi-hyphenate entertainer JoJo Siwa, Bachelor star Matt James, and, controversially, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s daughter Olivia Jade.

Now, four of these 15 celebs—and their dancing partners—have already been sent home. Womp womp. Check out the full cast list, including who's still competing for the Mirror Ball trophy and who's had to pack their bags.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star and former Miss America coined, “Gone with the wind fabulous! *twirls*” and we expect nothing less from her while she continues to compete on the DWTS stage.

You probs recognize Melora as Jan from The Office or more recently from The Bold Type where she played mentor and editor-in-chief Jacqueline Carlyle. We've gotten to see her in another form so far on DWTS, and we know she’s going to keep tearing it up!

Honestly, there’s something so oddly appealing about watching some of the world’s top athletes compete in a totally new arena. The Brooklyn Net, who is married to singer and actress Teyana Taylor, is competitive and full of passion and silliness, and he’ll definitely continue to be a fun one to watch!

This Peloton instructor is known and loved for his unconventional style and his approach to fitness. Oh, and did we mention he’s a former professional dancer? Prayers up to the rest of the contestants for the rest of the season.

We can’t wait to witness what kind of flair and twang this country music star will keep bringing to the DWTS stage.

Suni has already competed on *literally* the world’s biggest stage. What’s a ballroom to an Olympic gold medalist? Light work.

Even though Amanda is currently a cohost on the daytime show The Talk, she lived a past life as a Broadway dancer and Radio City Rockette. Sheesh! She will definitely keep being a contender.

The professional WWE wrestler knows how to put on a show, even though he’s usually performing a skull crusher or pinning dudes to a mat. Let’s see what his tango is talkin’ about as he keeps moving through this season!

The social media sensation was a controversial pick for the show, which was probably a part of the appeal, let’s be honest. Hopefully, Olivia’s dancing moves can give people another reason to talk.

Not only was JoJo one of the first contestants revealed for the season (along with Suni), but she also made history during the show. The OG Dance Moms star is the first celeb on the long-running show to have a same-sex dance partner. We love to see it!

Mel C (aka Sporty Spice)

Eliminated week 5.

No stranger to the spotlight, Mel C has been telling us what we want, what we really, really want since the early aughts (aka the ’90s), and we were ready for alllll the nostalgia vibes that her dancing performances gave.

Brian Austin Green

Eliminated week 4.

Get this: Brian was supposed to appear on DWTS *last* season, but he had to pull out of the show unexpectedly and was then replaced by Jesse Metcalfe. He is dating DWTS pro Sharna Burgess at the moment, and was even paired with her during the competition. Maybe all that PDA during performances is what got them sent home 👀👀.

The Cobra Kai actor is known for showing “no mercy” on his show, and that's exactly what the judges did to him and dancing partner Britt Stewart. Being the first to go home? Ouch.
