LOS ANGELES — The November 2 episode of 'Dancing With the Stars' was Disney-themed, and it ended with a fan-favorite heading home. Julia Stiles and her professional partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated on Disney Night in Season 35.
The remaining eight couples danced to songs from Disney on Broadway and grouped together for two team dances. Stiles and Sosa performed a paso doble to 'Satisfied' from 'Hamilton,' earning 33 out of 40, with a 9 from Bruno Tonioli and 8s from the other judges. Their team dance with Team Slaytopia added 36 points, for a night total of 69 out of 80.
At the other end of the leaderboard, Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned a perfect 40 out of 40 for their jazz routine, and their team, Team Wildcats, earned a perfect 40 in the team dance, for a total of 80 out of 80. Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also scored a perfect 40 for their individual dance.
Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli were joined by special guest judge Cynthia Erivo. The episode aired on a Monday for one week to make room for ABC's live coverage of the U.S. midterm elections on Tuesday.
The couples announced safe were Shum and Johnson, Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach, Dewan and Chmerkovskiy, Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov, Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik, and Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold. Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas, who had the lowest total of the night at 68 out of 80, also survived. Seven couples now head to Grammy Night on Tuesday, November 10, with Shum and Johnson holding immunity from the dance-off.
