Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated from season 35 of Dancing With the Stars after Disney Night, which paired Disney-inspired routines with a Broadway theme. The episode also brought back team dances and featured guest judge Cynthia Erivo.
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson, and Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy, tied with 40/40 for their individual dances. Shum and Johnson received immunity for next week’s dance-off because their season-long score was one point higher, 236 to 235. Stiles and Sosa finished on 69/80; the lowest combined judges’ scores and viewer votes determine who leaves.
In short
- Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated.
- Two couples earned perfect scores.
- Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson won immunity.
Explained simply
Dancing With the Stars is a US television competition in which celebrities perform ballroom and other dance routines with professional partners. Judges score each performance, while viewers also vote; the combined results determine which couples stay in the competition and which are eliminated.
The show’s themed episodes shape the music and style of the routines. Disney Night draws on Disney stories and songs, while a Broadway theme brings in material from stage musicals. Team dances, where contestants perform in groups, are another recurring part of the competition.
