DWTS Season 35 Disney Night Week 8 Recap: Scores, Elimination

[This story contains spoilers for episode nine of Dancing With the Stars season 35.]

It’s time for Disney Night on Dancing With the Stars.

This year’s Disney-themed episode sported a new Broadway twist, with “performances inspired by beloved Disney stories and their iconic stage adaptations,” per ABC. Couples paid homage to classics from Mary Poppins, The Little Mermaid, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast and many more.

Tuesday night’s episode also saw the return of the team dances, as co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough each joined one of the group performances. Cynthia Erivo was also in the ballroom, joining as the night’s guest judge.

Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated at the end of DWTS Disney Night. Earlier in the episode, they danced a paso doble to Hamilton‘s “Satisfied,” and were scored a 33/40.

Celebrities still competing on season 35 include Tatyana Ali, Jenna Dewan, Ezra Frech, Amber Glenn, Maura Higgins, Harry Shum Jr. and Connor Wood.

After the first dance of Disney Night, Hough announced that the couple who topped the leaderboard after the individual performances will receive immunity from next week’s dance-off. The couple who early on took that top spot was Harry and Jenna Johnson, who earned a perfect 40/40 for their jazz to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Marry Poppins.

Harry and Jenna earned the first perfect score of DWTS season 35 last week, with Disney Night marking their second 40/40 in a row.

However, they weren’t left alone at the top of the Disney Night leaderboard for long, as Jenna and Val Chmerkovskiy also earned a 40/40 for their quickstep to Beauty and the Beast‘s “Be Our Guest.”

Because two couples tied at the top of the leaderboard, immunity for next week’s dance-off was given to the pair with the highest total of scores from across the season; Harry and Jenna toppled with a total of 236 (Jenna and Val had 235).

During last week’s Horror Movie Night, Jackson Olson and Tyler Cameron were kicked off the competition in a double elimination.

The couple with the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes is eliminated at the end of each DWTS episode. Each viewer is allowed up to 10 votes per couple, per voting method (via ABC’s website and by text).

Live voting takes place during the East Coast airing of each show and ends shortly after the final performance; that means if you’re a West Coast viewer and want to vote, you must do so between 5 p.m. PT and roughly 6:45 p.m. PT, as voting ends after the final performance.
