Disney Night on Dancing With the Stars brought the drama. Julia Stiles and pro partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated Monday, finishing eighth in Season 35 after a paso doble to“Satisfied”from Hamilton that scored 33 out of 40. Stiles danced through rib pain from a prior injury and kept things positive on her way out, saying she pulled things out of herself she didn’t realize were there.
The leaderboard, meanwhile, was all about perfection. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson tied Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy with matching 40/40 scores, and Shum Jr. and Johnson earned immunity for next week’s dance-off on cumulative points. Cynthia Erivo guest-judged alongside Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli as the eight remaining couples performed Disney on Broadway routines, and the team dances returned with squads led by co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough.
With a former frontrunner out and an immunity twist in play, the Season 35 race just got a whole lot less predictable. New episodes air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC and Disney+. Who do you think takes the mirrorball now?
