The famer from Public Enemy, Flavor Flav.

Yes. Now, Flav, I know you're a fan of the show. What are you hoping to see

tonight? Tonight, I'm hoping to see grace, graceness, you know, smoothness,

know what I'm saying, preciseness.

And not only that, but I'm looking forward to seeing your boy, Flavor Flav,

guest judge one.

All right.

All right.

Join our judges.

You got this, bitch. All right, all right.

We're in for a jam -packed night of competition with two intense rounds.

Then later, our couples will be split into two teams, which will compete

each other for judges' scores.

They'll dance to live performances by Hall of Famers Chicago.

Alfonso and I will be joining each of the teams. That's right, and I am up for

the challenge, hopefully.

Oh, you're fine.

Now, this is important. The couple at the top of the leaderboard after this

first round will win immunity from next week's relay dances along with bonus

points toward next week. That's if they survive tonight's elimination.

All right, let's get into this night honoring Saturday's Rock and Roll Hall

Fame induction ceremony.

Since 1986, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has celebrated the legendary

whose music has broken barriers and moved countless generations.

From Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, and the Beatles to Missy Elliott, Nirvana,

and Jay -Z, music's highest honor recognizes those who pushed boundaries,

changed the game, and created the soundtrack of our lives.

Cleveland, Ohio became the official home of Rock Hall in 1995 with a museum

dedicated to the artist whose music connects us all. Stars like Cyndi

OutKast, The White Stripes, and more will join their ranks as the newest

inductees at the ceremony this Saturday, November 8th, live on Disney+. But up

first tonight...

with a giant croissant by rock and roll Hall of Famer Elton John, it's reality

TV star and content creator Dylan Efron and his partner Daniela Karagas.

I actually liked it. You really had a very convincing lead.

I do have a little PTSD with my broken nose.

But this week, I just got to be 100 % committed.

We got better scores than the week before. We got our matching nails.

I saw the eyeliner on. Okay.

Well, what I'm excited about is it's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night, and

dancing to I'm Still Standing by Elton John. I watched the music video, and I

love how goofy and vibey it is. Do you know that's Bruno?

That's Bruno in the dancing?

Yeah. I'm not wearing that.

I actually do want to incorporate some of Bruno's death.

I love it. Listen, I feel like now they're throwing out tens in the

It would feel incredible to earn that ten. Let's get our tens.

It's going to be weak.

Kick, ball change. The most challenging part about a dive is stamina.

The judges are going to be looking for high energy, high knees.

Kick your butt.

Ah, yeah, yeah. So Dylan's going to have to make sure that the movements are not

just scattered and thrown.

Kick, retract.

Oh, it's tough.

Boom. That's just awkward. The hardest part of the jive for me so far is being

over the top. Elton John and Bruno are the ultimate showmen, and that's not who

I am. So I'm hoping this week I can just let it all out, smile big, and get my

first touch. Bruno's going to be so proud.

Dancing the jive with his partner, Daniela Karagocz. It's Dylan Etron.

You can never know what it's like.

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice. And there's a cold and lonely

life. It's not from you. You wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask

you use.

And don't you know I'm still standing better than I've ever been.

I'm looking like the true survivor.

I'm feeling like the little kid.

I'm still standing after all this time I'm picking up the pieces of my life

without you on my mind I'm still standing

I'm still standing

yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing

yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dylan and Daniela with a dive to a song that's close to Bruno's heart.

All right.

Well, the ballroom's on their feet to start this night.

All right, guys.

Don't lock it, don't lock it, don't lock it. All right, the judges are figuring

something out over here.

But let's get this party started right.

I'll get it after. All right, Flavor Flav, as our guest judge, we're going to

start with you. What you got to say?

Honestly, to tell you the truth, from the floor to the roof, that dance right

there was the proof.

All right.

There you go. All right, Bruno.

Oh, I'm so disappointed.

Why you didn't wear my outfit, I have no idea.

I promise you.

No one would have looked at your feet.

Which, by the way, were very good. You just missed a pass, but the absolutely

fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.

I like that there.

All right, carry on.

Okay, Jive is all about athleticism and grace, kind of, and the buoyancy and all

of that. I feel like you definitely had all the elements, but there was like

three moments where it seemed like you got a little stuck on the kicks and

flicks. But, you know, I was thinking about how far you've come on this

Hold on one second. I'm getting to the good part.

You've come so far on this journey. It really is impressive. So keep going.

I mean, listen.

When in doubt, get your abs out. It's everything they look like those, man,

honestly. Like, listen, I think that it was a high energy. It was a great way to

start the show.

I have to agree a little bit, you know, with the kicks and flicks. I think that

it was the right action, maybe a little bit more energy.

But overall, that was a fantastic and difficult drive.

Really filled my neck. All right.

Head on up to the skybox. Yeah, I don't put my abs out.

Let's take a moment to thank the fabulous artists who are playing the

Fame hits. Our band, our singers, and our music director. It's Ray Chou live.

Yep, yep. Rock and roll, Ray.

Julianne, take it away.

Ray is always rocking and rolling, Alfonso.

All right. Well, clearly you are an athlete.

But you said that you really want to get a 10.

Were you buttering up to Bruno by putting in some of his moves? I was.

All right. You know what? Let's just get right to the scores, shall we? Yeah.

Carrie -Anne Inave.

Eight.

Derek Huff.

Nine.

Flavor Flame.

You got it.

You got it. Right there. Oh. Straight up.

Bring that Tom Yoder.

already tell this is gonna be a crazy night at the judges panel okay the star

who shot to the top of last week's leaderboard with a near -perfect score

next. Alex Earl and Val Smirpowski perform a pasta doble to Bon Jovi live.

Welcome back to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. Next up.

Last week, leaderboard topper performs a Paso Doble to a hit by 2018 Hall of

Fame inductee Bon Jovi. A social media personality, Alex Earle and her partner,

Val Smirkovsky.

I'm still kind of in disbelief. You really pushed me and it really paid off.

Sometimes tough love gets the job done. Fantastic, Alex.

We came second in the marathon, but we still remained at the top of the

leaderboard, and I had the best time. This week is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

night. We are dancing a Paso Doble to Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. I love

Jovi. You know he's from Jersey.

Exactly like you. Jersey buzz.

My mom would play this song.

All the time when I was younger. So we're going to have some Jersey

representation. The top three couples this week are all doing the pasta dough

blades. We got to have our like Jersey grit with us this week. So more tears?

No, no. No more tears.

Switch.

There are the other top couples doing the same style as us. Like that?

Yes. Alex is so mature and so focused. That's what I need. That I am

respectfully confident.

The partner I have is the best one.

One, two.

Fact. They tend to be a little bit light on my feet. So I'm trying to find that

powerful dance.

Nice. I have a special message for us.

Hey, Alec. Greetings from New Jersey. Wow. Thank you very much for dancing and

living on a prayer. Wishing you all the very best. We'll be watching.

So cool.

We have extra pressure now. We have to channel our inner rock stars.

For you, Bon Jovi.

Dancing the Paso Doble with her partner, Val Chmierkowski.

It's Alex Earle.

Because we gotta hold on to what we've got. It doesn't make a difference

if we make it or not.

We've got each other and that's...

No, he loved that one.

Oh, yeah, John liked that one.

Everybody in here liked this one.

All right, Bruno, take it away.

Well, well, well.

Alex, the puzzle dumpling bombshell.

Sexy as hell.

But I'm telling you. I know. What really worked for me, it was like watching,

you know, two predators challenging each other every minute. Be careful. She is

almost too hot.

To handle.

That... Oh, I have to stop. That was brilliant.

They will tell more. Okay. I don't think it's normal.

She is too hot to handle.

There it is.

like, inner Bruno for this moment. Pure apostle power!

It's amazing!

Oh, my gosh!

No, you were like an absolute, like, rock and roll goddess out there. So

so powerful, so in control, and so impressive. Let the competition begin!

Hey,

yo. Hey, check this out.

Honestly, I was watching y 'all moves, you know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying?

I mean, the unison. You know what I'm saying? Your timing was great. Y 'all

so good.

All right. That's it for now. We've got more later. All right. Head on up to the

skybox. You know what I'm saying?

An audience favorite is on the way with a routine honoring the pioneers of

Southern California sound.

Andy Richter and Emma Slater dance to a Beach Boys classic.

Just minutes from now. Do it again.

Thanks, Alfonso.

Alex.

All right, Alex. I'm loving the bangs, first and foremost. Second, as a Jersey

girl, how cool was it to get a message from Jon Bon Jovi himself?

Oh, my God. That was the coolest thing in the world.

I mean, that also, I feel like, set the tone, watching that right before.

It was a very good hype message.

I love it. I will say, we dedicate this dance to the...

broader tri -state New York City, New Jersey area, by the way. We don't want

alienate.

No alienation. No, no, no.

Staten Island, the Bronx, everybody.

All right. Well, you know what? Let's get your scores right after this.

Live.

Welcome back to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. Before the break, Alex. Alex

and Val performed a Paso Doble. I'm having a pretty good feeling about these

scores.

Carrie -Anne Inabe.

Ten!

Derek Hutt.

Ten!

Razor Flame.

Bruno Tonioli. Ten!

Thirty -nine out of forty for Alex and Val so far.

Interesting.

It is crazy in the ballroom tonight.

Next up with a routine to a song by rock and roll Hall of Famers, the Beach

Boys, we've got the star who last week survived another elimination with your

vote. It's comedian Andy Richter and his partner, Emma Slater.

Andy, I feel like you're trying to perform an exorcism on all the stickers

been giving you, my friend.

Done.

Yeah, my highest score is this season, but I am still at the bottom of the

scoreboard, so I got to keep getting better.

It's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. We are dancing a contemporary. Are you

ready to tap into serious?

There's no comedy in this. It's just very heartfelt.

I'm really allergic to phoniness. Like, oh, the love that I'm feeling is, you

know, but there's too many people throwing birthday parties for me.

Strangers were throwing birthday parties that I wasn't going to be at. I can't

imagine a better birthday.

It just feels like I'm being held up. Yeah.

And carried.

Yeah. It makes me want to do this. It makes me want to do this.

Yeah, I cry.

Damn it.

I'm out all the way over.

We are representing the story of our friendship.

There's moments where I fall and Andy will catch me and he lifts me up.

Other way. Sorry.

Contemporary, it's not ironic.

It's not a joke. Get into the emotion. Yeah, exactly.

I don't work that way, so I feel kind of naked.

You don't need to be afraid. But I'm going to try to get there.

Good.

Dancing Contemporary with his partner Emma Slater, it's Andy Richter.

I may not always love you, but as long as there are storms

that bury, you'll never need to doubt it.

I'll make you so sure about it.

God only knows what I'd be without you.

God only knows what I'd be without you.

God only knows what I'd

be without you.

God only knows what I'd be without you.

Emma with a contemporary routine to a hit by the Beast Boys.

Always a fan favorite.

What a beautiful different side, brother. Thank you.

Great job. Great job.

Thank you.

Beautiful.

Everybody's loving you. Carrie Ann, take it away.

First of all, that was just a beautiful tribute to this wonderful partnership

that is so touching for all of us.

What is remarkable about you is that you are teaching the people who don't know

how to dance what it actually feels like to learn to dance. Watching you

profoundly embrace every moment of this competition is no less than just the

most heartwarming thing.

Thank you. Beautiful. Derek.

So dance, obviously, is so important. It's so important to me and to all of us

that love it so much. And so thank you for embracing this process.

You know, for me, dance is like a mirror and a hammer at the same time. It shows

you who you are, but also it can break you open to discover something even

And I feel like that's what we've seen with you, my friend.

We've seen you really become something beautiful.

So thank you for letting us witness that. Thank you. Beautifully said,

Flavor.

I just want to say you guys, man, did a real, real good job out there, man. I

mean, you guys are good. You know what I'm saying?

I was watching your steps.

I was watching your hand movements and everything, and everything was right on

point. Thank you, ladies. Great job.

Bruno, oh, my darling. So charming, so tender.

He had a kind of childlike honesty.

And I think that is the secret, is your honesty.

You do what you can. You are relatable.

That's why you're becoming a people's champion, because we all feel what you

All right, head on up to the skybox. Right now,

live on TikTok, at official DWTS, you can see Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas

getting ready for their pasta doble to a hit by two -time Rock and Roll Hall of

Fame inductee Ozzy Osbourne.

Brandon and Jan are covering the behind -the -scenes action.

Julianne. Thanks, Alfonso.

This is my team captain.

I'm the team captain. Oh, yes, you are. All right. Sharp.

You in that purple. I love it.

All right. I feel like those comments really literally hammered and mirrored

with the comments from Derek. What did that mean to you? It means I'm doing

something right. You know, I mean, everything they're saying is what I'm

on and everything they're saying is what I'm trying to do. And I'm just trying

to do it better each week. And and I love how many people are behind us on

You really have broken open. We love you so much. All right, let's get your

scores.

Carrie -Anne Inabe.

Seven.

Derek Huff. Seven.

Yeah. Flavor Flame.

Bruno Toglioli.

Seven. That is a 30 out of 40 for Andy. You

have been supporting Andy with your books.

After the final competitive dance. We're coming right back live.

Welcome back to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. Next up, the star who, after

winning last week's Dance Monstathon, landed one point behind the leaders.

From the secret lives of woman wives, it's Whitney Leavitt and her partner,

Ballas.

Thank you. It was brilliant.

Last week had me feeling really proud because it was a really hard week, but

we pushed right through it.

What a week, mate.

I feel a lot better now. And the marathon was awesome.

The winner is Whitney and Bob!

Wow.

It's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night, and we are dancing to No More Tears by

Ozzy Osbourne. I know Jack and Kelly were also on the show, so being able to

dance to their dad's song, I just want to do it justice.

Doing a Paso Doble, if you're a matador, think how much control and focus you

have to, like, not get hit by a bull.

So are you the bull? I'm the matador.

You are the cape.

Oh, okay. Yeah, the bull is just, you know, life.

Left foot.

Ah. Do this Paso Doble to stand out. I really want to make sure the judges see

identifiable steps.

That's good. Stop. Things that are classic, things that are traditional, so

Whitney can really dive into that side of the dance.

So you're just the hair behind.

Having the three top couples perform the same dance, there is no room for error.

And it is motivating me to bring out the serious Whitney.

She's going to move a little faster.

May the best Paso win.

Oh, wow.

Hit the shape.

Yes.

Dancing the Paso Doble with her partner Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.

more tears.

Oh, we are rocking in the ballroom tonight.

Yes, it is awesome.

The ballroom's on the floor.

Everybody's loving you.

You are awesome.

All right, Derek.

I mean, this ballroom is officially on fire!

That Paso, I mean, it rocked. It was It was edgy. It was perfectly

entangled and totally metal.

The shaping, the way your torso. You did this move over here where you hit this

thing and you kind of went.

Man,

that was, I mean, that was perfection.

Bye.

Yo,

check this out.

The charisma was great. The moves was great.

Simon was on point, you hear me?

Word up. Do you understand?

Great, great job.

Y 'all did a lot that I wish that I could do.

All right, all right. Bruno, it's my turn.

Seriously intense, yet artistically exquisite. And I

explain that now why.

Puzzle Doblin is not about dance, wine, wallet.

It's the placement.

and having the exact precise Spanish line.

You just did it perfectly.

All right, carry on.

Okay, look.

No doubt.

This is game on for today, right? This is game on. Okay.

want this moment to happen, but there were a few stumbles with your foot. It

felt like, and it's just because you were doing the shaping with so much

intensity, and bravo for that, but I gotta call it out. Otherwise, it

be fair.

You are amazing, and it was wonderful, and your husband wearing Mark's outfit.

don't know what's happening over there.

It's amazing.

Alright, head on up to the skybox. Awesome job.

Alright, next week, we're celebrating a milestone in our beloved ballroom.

It's our 20th birthday party. We'll have the relay dance round.

with a surprise twist, familiar faces, and what promises to be a very emotional

return. We will reveal our extra special guest judge tomorrow on Good Morning

America. Julianne. Oh, you better set your alarms because you do not want to

miss the big announcement.

But before we get there, all right, there are two other couples doing a

doble tonight.

Are you enjoying the competition?

I am enjoying the competition. We see each other in the studio almost every

We push each other. We want all of us to give it our all. And I feel like so

far, that's what every single person's done tonight.

But tonight is pretty epic. Yeah. You know what? Let's just get your score,

shall we? Thank you.

Carrie -Anne Inabe.

Nine.

Derek Huck.

Five.

Flavor Flame.

Get in there, boy.

Bruno Tomioli. Ten.

And at ADC .com, you get 10 votes per couple per voting method.

Alfonso. All right. Thanks, Julianne. The first major hit of Rock and Roll

of Famer's Aerosmith is on the way. Danielle Fissel and Pasha Poskov dance

dream on when we come back live.

Welcome back.

During the next break, Brandon and Jan are going to challenge our guest judge

Flavor Flav to a rap battle live on TikTok at official DWTS. I know who my

is on.

Brandon. No, no, no. I'm lying.

Jan.

All right, last week, our Boy Meets World star was praised for her progress,

though the judges wanted to see more emotion.

Let's see if she can bring it tonight with a contemporary routine to an

Aerosmith classic. It's Danielle Fissel and her partner, Asha Poshkov.

You have to use the face because you are tiny.

Little woman. Okay. Nine, eight.

I am a tiny little woman, but she's big on the inside, very powerful. So I need

to unleash her more often.

This week, we have a contemporary and an amazing song, Dream On by Eric Smith.

This song really inspires me to live out my dreams because as my cancer

diagnosis showed me last year, you never know when your time could be up.

Powerful. That's the outlook I have in life anyway.

I've remained incredibly positive since my diagnosis.

And I'm feeling really proud, and I don't often feel that way.

I want to show the benefit of being able to take hardship and finding a way to

rise above. I hope I can do it.

I know you can.

A wide offense.

Kyrianne wants her to fill out the space more.

I'm not wide enough.

which contemporary is the perfect style to put into action.

Yeah, that looked ridiculous.

It doesn't come naturally to be flailing my 5 '1 body around the floor.

Darn it. After having cancer last year and wanting to accomplish more of my

dreams, the contemporary feels like a really big gift, and I just want to

it all out on the dance floor.

Wider.

Dancing Contemporary. With her partner, Pasha Pashkov, it's Danielle Fishel.

Every time that I look in the mirror, all

these lies on my face getting clearer.

The past is gone.

It went by, I crossed the door.

Isn't that the way?

Sing it with me just for today.

Maybe tomorrow.

with a contemporary routine to dream on.

Yes, the entire ballroom is loving that.

Beautiful job.

Great job. Right here, right here.

Fantastic. All right, Blaze.

Hey, yo, check one, two, and the place to be, rocking from the bottom to the T

.O .P.

I ain't going to lie, but it was great, man. I watched the move.

Like I said, I'd be looking for the time, and I'd be looking for, you know

I'm saying, the unison and all that. You know what I'm saying? You guys are on

point. Okay. All right. Bruno.

Oh, my darling, listen, we're all with you. You know, life can be a bitch

sometimes, but, you know, you don't give up.

You stay resilient, keep a positive attitude, and it's not over.

It never is.

Something went wrong.

What happened in there, there was a tiny mishap in the dance routine. You know,

it did happen, but you should be proud of yourself for what you have achieved.

All right, carry on.

I would like to apologize for my words if they hurt you at all, because I

mean that at all. You are small, but you do pack a punch, and that's why I can

say it, because I believe in you, okay?

Contemporary is all about... It's all about the emotion.

It's all about the storytelling.

You told that story. I felt the chills. There's that magic thing that happens in

the air that we could all feel that takes us into a place that's not here

now. Thank you for the transport.

Well done.

Honestly, I was going to say what Play With Faith said. That was my comment.

Yeah, of course.

No, listen, Danielle, you're somebody that we all root for. You radiate such

positive, such beautiful energy. You glow, and you've always glowed on this

dance floor.

I feel like tonight it felt a little disjointed here and there, but overall

something you should be very, very proud of. So well done.

Thank you.

Let's take a look at where our first four couples stand on the leaderboard.

at the top are Alex and Val, Whitney and Mark with 39, and at the bottom are

Andy and Emma with 30. Remember, the couple who finishes this round at the

will win immunity from next week's relay dance round. Julianne.

And plus, we have an all -new twist on the relay dances, and I cannot wait for

that. I want to know. I know. You're going to find out. I promise you will.

Honestly, dance is so healing. I know that firsthand. It really is.

Contemporary specifically is super raw and emotional.

How was that this week for you?

It was a difficult week.

Pasha had to really like kind of push through a lot of resistance, and I ended

up apologizing to him because I did feel bad, but I realized it was just this

dance was bringing up a lot of stuff for me. It was like therapy.

Like I said, dance is healing, and we're so happy that you're here.

Let's get your scores.

Nine.

Derek Hunt.

Eight.

Blade of Flame.

Yeah!

Bruno Tom Yelding. Eight.

34 out of 40 for Danielle and Tasha so far. We'll see them back out there in

team dance round. And of course... You can text and also vote online right now.

Alfonso. All right. Thanks, Julianne. Last week, our next star suffered a

terrifying injury just hours before the show and was unable to dance. Elaine

Hendricks and Alan Burstyn will return to the floor next.

Welcome back.

During rehearsal last Tuesday, our film and TV actress suffered an injury that

kept her out of the competition for the night. Thankfully, she's been cleared by

the doctors and is back in the ballroom with a TV swap to a hit by Rock and Roll

Hall of Famer Dionne Warwick. And here's how the week went for Elaine Hendricks

and her partner, Alan Burstyn.

My muscle is twisted.

Now, Elaine can't dance tonight, and our rules state she should be judged on the

basis of her last full rehearsal.

We love you, Elaine. We're sending you our absolute best. We can't wait to have

you back.

Elaine, welcome back.

Obviously, the doctors have cleared you. They can't exactly know whether I tore

a muscle or whether it's strained. So I'm doing everything I can to heal,

including not dancing for a couple of days, which is stressing me out. We're

going to get there. I'm so grateful that we get to keep going. I know, me too.

Yeah. It's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. Yes.

And we are dancing a Viennese Waltz to What the World Needs Now by Dionne

Warwick. I love it.

What the world needs now really resonates with me, because as long as I

remember, I have wanted to share love.

And animals capture my heart. I've actually been a part of helping to

thousands of animals, and so I want to go out and represent them.

Careful. We're doing a Viennese Waltz this week, and I don't know what

we have in the ribcage. Let's be cautious.

I'm expecting to feel pain.

I don't care.

Normally we have six days. I have four days. I just really hope I can keep up.

can't do that many times.

Dancing the Viennese Waltz with her partner Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Oh,

not just for some, but for everyone.

Everyone, what the world needs now is love, sweet love.

It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

But for everyone,

everyone What the world needs now is love,

sweet love What the world needs now

Sweet, sweet love

Beautiful Viennese waltz to a beautiful sentiment.

Yes.

The entire ballroom is on their feet for you, Elaine.

Welcome back. Welcome back.

All right, Bruno, take it away. Oh, my God. Welcome back. That really was a

sumptuous performance.

Extremely elegant.

Light.

Flowing. Smooth. You were literally glowing there. You were like... charlie

farron tonight in the can you know how to sell it honey you do

when i watch you dance for me

personally it just it just feels so familiar and it's like the language that

speak from my heart and i just feel like i know you so well when you dance the

way you move is so It's so grounded in love and true emotion and truth and

honesty and the way it flows.

You are spectacular.

And doing that after such a little time.

Rehearsal. Bravo. I'm sorry.

I'm trying not to cry.

You're resilient.

You're radiant. You are remarkable. And the way that you dance is just like a

breath of fresh air. It really truly is.

And you know what? The world does need some love right now and a little bit

positivity. And you bring that on this dance floor. Welcome back. That was

beautiful. Well done.

Hey,

that was you on that gurney that they were putting in the ambulance.

I'm going to tell you, you don't move like you was hurt.

Oh, my God.

Let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something.

You healed up beautiful.

I ain't going to lie because, oh, my God.

Listen, that was so amazing.

All right. Head on up to the skyline. All right. Right now, live on TikTok at

official DWCS, you can see Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson getting ready for

their Paso Doble soon. They'll be dancing to a hit by the White Stripes,

being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this Saturday night.

Julianne. Thank you, Alfonso.

you back in the ballroom. First thing first.

Yes. How is the body holding up? Oh, it's incredible. I have received so much

love and support right now. I am beyond grateful and thank you all so much.

Thank you. I'm feeling I'm feeling very solid and strong and grateful.

You are. Well, you know what? Let's just get your scores.

Carrie Ann Inaba.

Nine.

Derek Huff.

Nine.

Blazer Flynn.

Bruno Taglioti, nine.

Yeah, 37 out of 40 for Elaine and Alex. Your best scores, your first ten.

We've got team dance scores on the way, but no one can survive elimination on

judges' scores alone. You have to vote. You get ten votes per couple per voting

method. Be careful, Alfonso. I was going to say the same thing, Julianne. All

right, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night rocks on with a hit song by Ike and Tina

Turner. Jordan Childs and Ezra Sosa bring it to life next live.

We're back with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. Next up, the Olympic gold

medalist who last week took some risks with her athletic contemporary

performance. Tonight, she takes on a jazz routine to a song by Ike and Tina

Turner. It's Jordan Child and her partner, Ezra Sosa.

Harness, Gabriel.

Talk about a risk.

Talk about a risk. With no reward.

When you work with a prop, it can distract us.

Hey, right.

Guess I would have won in letter scores.

Can I just be honest with you? Yeah. I'm frustrated with myself because it

didn't pay off.

I'm sorry. I'm really accepting and allowing you to take me to that next

Well, it is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night, and we will be doing a jazz.

Ooh. To River Deep, Mountain High by Tina Turner.

Ooh. She reminds me of Tina Turner.

You have that kind of star quality.

Literally the most iconic thing anybody could have ever said to me, and nothing

can be more challenging than being in a harness and a robe.

Too soon. Okay, I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's too soon.

Performance, you need to feel it, but also you need to practice it. Jazz is a

very energetic style, and Tina Turner, she is a woman that knew how to perform.

It doesn't come naturally.

Jordan is going to have to sell this with every inch of her body, including

face.

That's what I'm looking for!

I do feel a little defeated after we got our scores last week.

Come on, Tina.

But I'm hoping that this dance kind of shows them that I am emotional, I'm

joyful, and I can still be that elegant, artistic person that I am. Yes!

I love it.

Dancing Jazz.

With her partner, Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.

And you turned around. Not only was it nice, it was precise. I'm giving you a

55.

I'm giving you a 55.

I'm giving you a 55. We love you. My, oh, my.

No singing. No singing. Listen.

Spectacular acrobatic display with a hint of Tina Turner.

back from the dead y 'all she did she's back and she's better but honestly it

just reminds me of as a child being able to step into somebody's shoes and

really fulfill their dreams so i'm honestly very happy and i'm i hope i

proud well let's get your scores when we come back

and Ezra performed a Tina Turner -inspired jazz routine.

Let's get their scores.

Carrie -Anne Inabe.

Ten!

Derek Hough.

Nine!

Derek Hough, Flavor Flame.

Three -night Tom Yoni. Nine!

Thirty -eight out of forty for Jordan and Ezra so far. I've never seen the

double five before. That was great.

You still have to vote. Voting closes shortly after the final competitive

Alfonso. Yes, thanks, Julianne. That is a new one.

Last week, our wildlife conservationist earned his first tens of the season.

Tonight, he closes out the first round with a Paso Doble to one of this year's

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, the White Stripes. It's Robert Irwin and

his partner, Whitney Carson.

Did I believe you as the leading man?

Yes!

These scores come at a really good time because we are entering the home stretch

and it's just given me this boost of confidence.

So, it's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night.

Finally! I play guitar, collect guitars.

Slash actually came to Australia.

He was the most amazing bloke and even cuddled a koala.

So we are dancing a Paso Doble. So the other two men doing Paso Doble are Val

and Mark. What is going to set me apart?

It needs to feel so confident. This is your time to be like, I'm the front

runner. I'm just, here we go. Turn it up. Let's go.

You think Mark and Val are laughing right now?

No. No. Get to work. Okay.

You can do this. I know. You're stronger than you think.

It's always good to set the bar high. We're competing against Mark and Val,

their technique, their shaping.

Shaping. Everything about what they exude in the Paso Doble, I need Robert

that. Would Mark do a bent leg? No, not a wood valve. Trying to get footwork and

shaping to mesh together. Like this.

It's the biggest head spin I've had so far.

Come on.

So the pressure is on to make this dance perfect.

My brain is going to explode.

Dancing the Paso Doble with his partner Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin.

We know the competition's on now because everybody's on their feet.

Great job, dude.

Amen.

Okay, we're going to start it with you, Derek.

I mean, listen.

Robert the Matador.

Yes. You didn't just dominate. You owned this arena.

Ole.

Love the cave work at the beginning. The knee walks, that kip up. I see you.

Thank you. It was a little hiccup over there, but overall, my guy, that was

fantastic. Thank you, Mike. I don't care what nobody says, but you are the brand

new Fred Astaire out here.

More love, G.

Yo, I love the performance.

You know what I'm saying? You guys were absolutely amazing.

Okay.

The thunder from down up.

a grandiose Paso Doble. I love the theatrical setting at the beginning.

You really dominated the proceeding all the way through. And thank you for

giving the classic interpretation.

Thank you so much. The matador, the cape, it was no messing around.

It was a superb Paso Doble.

Okay, carry on.

Incredible choreography, incredible content.

Robert, you have something that's happening that can take you to the

line. It's called momentum.

Momentum. You are in the zone at the right moment.

You are, I mean, you are in the zone. Okay, you really are. I keep going.

However, you had a few little teeny tiny wobbles. I agree with Derek at the

beginning. But who cares about that because the overall performance was

fantastic.

Head on up to the skybox.

week on the next Dancing with the Stars official podcast, Joey Grazade's guest

is right over there next to him. It's Ray Chu.

The podcast is available Thursday mornings on Disney Plus and Hulu or

you get your podcast sponsored by Sonic.

Now, I'm going to rush off to get changed for the team dance round.

And I will meet you on the dance floor, Alfonso. But first, Robert, how is...

How intimidating was it knowing that you were going to be compared to the

standard of Mark and Val as pros?

It was terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.

But it was just such a privilege to do that dance. This was the hardest week in

rehearsals by far.

I mean, I didn't think it was possible. I honestly did not think this was

possible. But Whitney, her incredible teaching, her kindness, her humor.

I look forward to rehearsals every day. You're the best. You are the best. I'm

so honored. Thank you. We all look forward. And we did. We had tickets.

so much fun.

Let's get your score.

Carrie -Anne Inabe.

Nine.

Derek Hough.

Nine.

Flavor Flames.

Bruno Tonioli.

to compete in the team dance round, but they still want your votes. Voting

closes shortly after the final competitive dance.

Right now, we want to feature the incredible dancers who are coming to a

near you this winter in our spectacular, all -new Dancing with the Stars Tour.

Please welcome our pros.

One, two, three, oh, my baby, don't mess around because you just know it's got

no fun, so.

It's time to change because next we'll have live performances from Chicago and

who in the gang when Alfonso and I join the team dances.

Welcome back to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. Tonight's first round is

complete. So let's take a look at the leaderboard to see which couple has won

immunity from next week's relay dancing.

Currently tied at the top are Alex and Val and Whitney and Mark with 39.

And at the bottom are Andy and Emma with 30. Now, Whitney and Mark and Alex and

Val are tied at the top, so there's no clear winner. Now, since Whitney and

have the highest total of cumulative judges' points across the season, They

won immunity from next week's relay dances, plus two bonus points toward

week. That's if they survive tonight's elimination.

Tonight, each team will earn one score out of 40, which will be added to their

individual scores.

Plus, the stars will have to dance a section without their pros. That's

For the first time, Julianne and I will each join one team.

However...

The judges are scoring the teams, not us.

Not us.

No, that's right. The judges will base their scores, and you at home should

your vote on how well the couples dance, not us. That's right, not us. First,

here's how the teams were chosen.

Since Elaine is injured and currently at the hospital, Alan will be filling in.

Andy and Danielle, this starts with the lowest combined total of judges' scores

this season. You will be team captains. Being last pays off. Andy, since you had

the lowest combined total, you get to pick first.

I'm going to pick Robert.

Yeah! Come on!

I'm going to pick Whitney.

Alex.

Jordan. Dylan,

I love you, but I have to pick my sweetheart, Elaine.

Dylan!

All right, Danielle, pick an envelope to decide what your team name is as well

as the song you're going to be dancing to.

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago.

We are Team Chicago.

We're Team Cool, and we are dancing to Celebration by Kool and the Gang.

As we mentioned, Julianne will be joining one team, and I will be joining

other. Alfonso, you're going down.

Oh, no. I have been practicing. I have been working out. Let's find out our

fate.

I'm nervous. Me too.

Julianne.

I am hanging with you guys this week.

Let the dance rehearsals begin.

I think this team is perfect because it's the most creative group. It's very

meaningful to be the team captain for people that I have really grown to love.

It's so much fun having Alfonso join us. Yay!

We can pull out the big guns. No. The big guns.

Okay, guys, apologies. Jordan is out of town. But we have Riley stepping in for

her today.

Let's get to work. Team Chicago!

Girls, you're all going to just walk in a circle to your left. The inspiration

for this dance is Blues Brothers meets Secret Agent.

And Alfonso is kind of our overlord. Love that. We'll have cool food and

on for this one.

You're the thing that's burning us so bright.

What I love most about this dance is Chicago is actually going to play live

our performance.

Repeat after me to step together.

We start off with a group section, and then we have our couple section.

And then the celebs all dance with Alfonso without our pros.

I'll be waiting for you in the wings.

You're doing amazing, sweetie.

I wasn't at the first rehearsal, but I feel like I'm a very quick learner.

Ah, there we go. The strength that the other team has, they have a lot of

personality. But our superpower is that we are incredibly collaborative.

Don't do too much. Now just kind of let us settle in.

We really want to win this. We need these points.

We don't want to go home. Yeah. It's cooking.

Woo! Team cool, more like team drool. Yep. Light it back up. We're about to

dominate, period.

We're not losing to Juliet.

I'm not losing to Juliet.

Mine's better. Bring it.

Team Chicago!

Performing a team dance, it's Team Chicago.

Waiting for the break of day.

Searching for something to say.

Lighting lights and get them guys.

Get them up at the light.

Sitting cross -legged on the floor.

Feeling like my heart took me.

Spending romance thinking it's me.

Such a special day to say.

I'm reaching for the...

to a performance by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chicago.

They're on tour now with 2026 North American dates to be announced soon.

Thank you, Chicago.

Love you guys.

Quickly, y 'all. Quickly, y 'all.

Play quickly.

Hey, y 'all, check one, two.

I don't care what nobody says.

Team Chicago is the bomb diggity.

watching a Quentin Tarantino movie.

It was so slick. It was so cool.

The Tarantino tangle, darling, there.

He'll be all the way. The count of madness.

Everything I love. All right, carry on.

You guys, that was so tight, so clean. I love the features of all of you. So

many different personalities.

Teamwork makes that dream work.

Dylan with the foxtrot, with the tango, Jordan doing the acrobatics. I mean,

hold up, hold up. I mean, the Carlton. Come on, man.

We renamed it the Alfonso.

The Alfonso. I like it. Well done, guys. Well done.

All right, let's all head on up to the skybox with Julianne.

The Hall of Fame induction airs live this Saturday night, November 8th on

Disney+. This year's inductees include the White Stripes and OutKast, whose

music we heard tonight.

I was going to say get on up here, but y 'all got up here fast.

Yeah, we flew. We flew. All right, we're going to get right to questions, which

is, don't you think it's cheating to do your signature move?

Absolutely not. No, listen, listen. I know, you know, Whitney was a little

pissed off because that was the last time I did it on the floor. But you know

what? We had to bring the big guns because we had to try and win.

That's true.

That's true. That's true.

That's true, that's true. I get it, I get it. Let's get your scores.

Carrie -Anne Inaba.

Ten!

Derek Huff. The Alfonso, ten!

Flavor Flame.

Yeah, boys, ten!

Bruno Tomlion.

Each couple also won votes from you. All right. Now, can the members of Team

Kool beat Team Chicago's score? We'll find out when they dance to a

by Kool and the gang next live.

We're back.

Before the break, the members of Team Chicago, my team.

earned a perfect 40 for their team dance.

No pressure, Julianne. Honestly, zero pressure, Alfonso. We've got this. Team

Cool is up for the challenge.

Let's see how we train for the first time.

Team Cool! Team Cool! Team Cool! Team Cool! Guys, look at this team! It feels

silly to be the team captain.

It's like the guy that shows up to the plane last, fly it.

I really, truly believe that if you lead with fun, it'll go better. We're happy

to announce Elaine will be here. The role of Elaine Hendricks will be played

Jenna Johnson today.

I want to be on the floor, so I'm just taking a couple of days so I can be. All

right, well, let's get to work. Let's bring it in. Here we go!

We can go reach, roll, roll. The amazing part about this performance is the song

will be performed by the actual...

Cooling the gang.

We're kind of like this ruckus bunch celebrating our graduation.

Yes! Andy's the class clown. I'm the captain.

And Julianne is trying to keep us in line.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's been years since I've been back in rehearsals. Put

your hand out. But my instincts are kicking in.

Julianne has to dance with the four celebrities without their pros. Right.

hello, sir.

I know you'll be there. I'll be there from the start.

Two click will change. Kick.

I'll be your dance mom on the sidelines doing the moves with you.

Exactly, Robert.

That's sexier. Val, you're great, but it is fun to get to expand and dance with

other people. All right.

You'll go left, right, left, right.

Team cool is the fun team.

Give it a little turn action.

But we got to make sure that we're super clean, super tidy.

And shot right out of a cannon. Yeah.

You were Alfonso's partner. Yes.

Do you have any secret intel?

Alfonso is going to do the Carlton.

We've got to level up. How do we do that? I do the Carlton.

I'm feeling ready. Put me in, coach. Yeah.

Go one. Add two. It's very important to get these points because it's often

somebody from the losing team that goes home.

I don't want to go home, and I also don't want my teammates going home,

would be heartbreaking.

One, two. We need these points. I want these points. I want these points.

Give me the points.

That looks great. We gotta win. We gotta get them points.

Get them points. We gotta get them points. Yes. Yes, that's good.

You smell like fresh laundry.

Watch out, Team Chicago.

You're going down.

Woo! Listen up. We're gonna crush you into bone meal.

What's bone meal?

It's ground up bones.

Oh. We are Team Cool.

Performing a team dance, it's Team Cool.

Let's celebrate.

Come on now.

Celebrate the time. Come on.

Let's celebrate.

There's a party going on right here.

A celebration to last through all the years.

So bring your good times and your laughter too.

We're going to celebrate that party. Come on now.

Let's all celebrate and have a good time.

It's up to you. What's your pleasure?

Let's celebrate.

Come now.

Celebrate good times. Come on.

Let's celebrate.

There's a party going on right here.

A dedication to that through up the air.

I skipped a lesson.

It was so much fun. What I really loved about it really was a celebration on

friendship. We're all in this together.

We all do our job, but we enjoy every minute of it. Thank you, Carrie Ann.

I think tighter and more in sync as a group. However, you guys as individuals

out there, the humor, the love, the camaraderie, the friendship, the energy.

I loved it. All right. From start to finish.

Let's all go celebrate.

Thank you, Derek. Quickly.

Play.

Play quickly.

Hey, yo. What have you got to say? Hey, yo, check this out. I ride with my boy,

Derek. You know what I'm saying? Hey, yo.

Team Cool was cooler than four blocks of ice cubes.

You can see Julianne and Derek on ABC Tonight right after the show as they

reimagine legendary cinematic performances in their special Step Into

Movies. Okay, Julianne. All right, all right.

Here's a question. What was it like to be back on the dance floor doing a

competitive dance after all these years?

Well, my competitive nature sure kicked in. That's for sure. But it was honestly

amazing to be in a studio with all these gorgeous people who work so hard every

single week and to watch their... Blood, sweat, and tears.

Absolutely. I got to see it firsthand.
