The Brief

  • Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated in eighth place during 'Disney Night'.
  • Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned immunity with a perfect score.
  • Disney-themed routines featured guest judge Cynthia Erivo and team dances.

Julia Stiles and her professional partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated from Season 35 of 'Dancing With the Stars' during the 'Disney Night' episode. The pair placed eighth in the competition.

Stiles and Sosa were among the couples eliminated following last week’s double elimination. The actress described the experience as 'incredible,' noting she 'pulled things out of myself that I didn’t realize were there.'

Sosa called the partnership 'an absolute honor,' despite a heated rehearsal session where Stiles referred to him as 'a cranky bitch.' The pair’s performance, a paso doble to 'Satisfied' from 'Hamilton,' received a score of 33/40.

Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson secured immunity for next week’s dance-off after tying with Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy for the highest score of the night, 40/40. Their total season score gave them the edge over the other duo.

The episode featured Disney-themed routines, with guest judge Cynthia Erivo joining the panel. The eight remaining couples performed dances inspired by Disney on Broadway, including a quickstep to 'A Star Is Born' from 'Hercules.'

Team dances returned, with the cast split into two groups. Each half partnered with a co-host—Alfonso Ribeiro or Julianne Hough. The routines included a jive to 'You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly' from 'Peter Pan,' performed by Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas.
