[This story contains spoilers from episode eight of Dancing With the Stars season 34.]
It’s time to rock on Dancing With the Stars, as it’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night.
Tuesday’s episode also marks the return of group dances, which will see the cast cut into half as each group performs alongside one of the co-hosts, Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro.
At the top of the show, Ribeiro revealed the couple who finishes at the top of the leaderboard will be granted immunity from the relay dances next week, and will earn bonus points towards next Tuesday’s 20th Birthday Party celebration episode — if they survive elimination, of course.
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, social media star Alix Earle, The Traitors season three winner (and Zac Efron’s brother) Dylan Efron, actresses Danielle Fishel and Elaine Hendrix, conservationist (and son of Steve Irwin) Robert Irwin and comedian-actor Andy Richter comprise the remaining cast of celebrities.
Hendrix suffered an injury last Tuesday that prohibited her from dancing on Halloween Night. Instead of performing live, she earned a 32/40 based on rehearsal footage reviewed by the judges. She was not eliminated from the show or prohibited to continue dancing, meaning she will perform an individual dance and partake in a group number on Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night.
With only eight celebrities left in the competition, season 34 of Dancing With the Stars is nearing its end. After Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, there are only three episodes left, including Nov. 25’s special three-hour finale.
Still, going into Tuesday’s episode, none of the couples have yet received a perfect score from the panel of judges. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night could likely see the first 40/40 handed out, with Flavor Flav serving as a guest judge alongside mainstay judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
Last week’s Halloween Night saw the couples perform spooky numbers and compete in the dance marathon, while Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck and her partner Jan Ravnik were eliminated from the competition. (The Hollywood Reporter was in the ballroom to capture all the behind-the-scenes moments that cameras missed.)
The couple with the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes is eliminated at the end of each episode. Live voting takes place during the East Coast airing of each show and ends shortly after the final performance is completed.
