In Los Angeles, “Dancing with the Stars” dedicated a special evening to celebrate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, featuring performances by the remaining eight couples set to timeless rock anthems.
Flavor Flav, himself an inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, made a guest appearance on the judging panel, joining regular judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli for this memorable occasion.
The show also paid tribute to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ consecutive World Series triumphs. The dance troupe, clad in the iconic Dodger blue and wielding baseball bats, performed to Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.,” a track synonymous with Dodger Stadium celebrations after a win.
Each couple showcased their skills in various dance styles, including the Paso Doble, Jive, Contemporary, Viennese Waltz, and Jazz. The evening also featured a team challenge with live performances from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bands, Chicago and Kool and the Gang.
For the first time, cohosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough joined in the festivities, participating in the team challenge to add to the night’s excitement.
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.
