LOS ANGELES — To help honor and pay tribute to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, “Dancing with the Stars” had a night where the eight remaining couples performed dances to classic rock hits.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Flavor Flav joined the judging panel, alongside Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, as the guest judge for this round.
The show even honored the Los Angeles Dodgers’ repeat World Series win! The troupe — decked out in Dodger blue and with baseball bats in hand — danced “I Love L.A.” by Randy Newman, which the team famously plays at Dodger Stadium after every victory.
The DWTS couples each performed a partnered dance, in the style of either the Paso Doble, Jive, Contemporary, Viennese Waltz or Jazz. They were then split into two groups for the annual team challenge, with live performances by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bandsChicago and Kool and the Gang.
And for the first time, cohosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough joined each team to participate in the fun.
Here’s a look at the judge’s scoreboard, from both individual and team dances:
- Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas with 79 points
- Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa with 78 points
- Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy with 77 points
- Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach with 76 points
- Robert Irwin and Witney Carson with 76 points
- Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten with 75 points
- Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov with 74 points
- Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov with 68 points
Of course, the points are only part of the equation. Viewer votes count for a lot, and in the end, actress and director Danielle Fishel and her partner Pasha Pashkov eliminated from the competition. Fishel said being on the show had truly been life changing.
“Making it eight weeks with this type of competition feels great. I had so much fun every single week,” Fishel said. “We poured everything into it, so it was the journey it was meant to be.”
Next week, “Dancing with the Stars” will be celebrating its 20th anniversary with a giant, dance-filled, all-star celebration.
