‘DWTS’ Week 8 Episode Recap

Week 8 was Disney Night, moved from its usual Tuesday to Monday, November 2, because of Election Day coverage. The theme celebrated Disney on Broadway, so every routine was set to a song from a stage musical. Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo sat as guest judge, which put scoring on a 40-point scale.

Two couples earned perfect scores. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson followed their 40 from Horror Movie Night with another for a jazz routine to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” and Derek Hough told Harry to get himself on Broadway “stat.” Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy took their first perfect score with a quickstep to “Be Our Guest.”

The team dances returned, with each host dancing alongside one of two teams. Four couples made up Team Slaytopia: Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov, Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa, Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas, Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik. With Alfonso Ribeiro, they danced to “Zoo” from Zootopia 2 and scored 36.

Team Wildcats took the other four: Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold, Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach, Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson, Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy. With Julianne Hough, they danced to “We’re All in This Together” from High School Musical and earned a perfect 40.
