Joanna Jędrzejczyk and her dance partner Kamil Kuroczko have been eliminated from the 19th season of "Taniec z Gwiazdami," the Polish edition of Dancing With the Stars, according to Pudelek.pl. The elimination came at the end of the show's sixth episode, which aired on Sunday, October 11, 2026, and carried a "Latino Night" theme.
The result followed a week in which no couple was sent home. Pudelek.pl reports that the previous episode, built around family and emotional moments, functioned as a reprieve: judges' scores and viewer votes from that night were carried over, giving all nine pairs a week of safety. That cushion expired on Sunday. Once the points from both episodes were combined, one couple had to go.
Why it matters
The elimination marks the first cut in two weeks and resets the field at a point in the season when the margin between staying and leaving narrows sharply. Because the sixth episode folded in scores and votes from the fifth, the outcome reflected two weeks of audience sentiment rather than a single night's performance — a format wrinkle that can punish a couple whose support was already thinning before Latino Night began.
For Jędrzejczyk, a well-known figure in Polish sport, the exit ends a run that had drawn attention beyond the show's usual audience. For the remaining pairs, the field is now smaller and the arithmetic less forgiving.
A night of Latin rhythms and high scores
According to Pudelek.pl, the episode opened with strong performances. Mandaryna and Krystian Rzymkiewicz delivered an energetic cha-cha set to "Let's Get Loud," while Helena Englert and Roman Osadchiy performed a sensual and bold salsa to "La Bomba."
The evening's top result belonged to Krzysztof Kwiatkowski and Sara Janicka, who finished first on the leaderboard by a clear margin, per Pudelek.pl. Even so, the report notes that no couple could treat a high score as a guarantee once viewer voting entered the picture.
How the bottom two took shape
When the hosts read out the results, two couples remained in danger: Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Kamil Kuroczko, and Jasper Sołtysiewicz and Daria Syta-Grobelna. Pudelek.pl reports that the combined decision of viewers and judges sent Jędrzejczyk and Kuroczko home.
The show's sixth episode of season 19 was covered live by several Polish outlets, including Plejada, Onet, Pomponik and Plotek.pl, all of which reported on the Latino Night theme and the evening's verdict.
What to watch next: how the remaining couples handle the first week without a points carryover, and whether Kwiatkowski and Janicka can hold the top spot once the leaderboard resets.
