The \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d<\/a> ballroom was on fire for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, honoring this year\u2019s inductees.<\/p>\n Flavor Flav kept viewers on their toes Tuesday night with his hot takes and high scores. The night featured performances from each of the stars as well as two group dances with live performances from Chicago and Kool & the Gang.<\/p>\n The highest scoring contestant of the night Whitney Leavitt earned immunity for next week\u2019s relay round after her paso doble to an Ozzy Ozbourne hit. Although the team dances brought out the friendship between the contestants, one star still had to go home. The ballroom bid farewell to Danielle Fishel and her partner Pasha Pashkov after their eight-week \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d run.<\/p>\n Team Chicago, led by Alfonso Ribeiro, Danielle Fishel, Whitney Leavitt, Jordan Chiles and Dylan Efron, performed a routine to a live performance of \u201c25 or 6 to 4\u201d by Chicago. They wowed the judges with their sleek routine. The team earned a perfect score. Team Kool danced a graduation-inspired routine to \u201cCelebration\u201d by Kool & the Gang. Andy Richter was captain of the team consisting of Alix Earle, Robert Irwin, Elaine Hendrix and Julianne Hough. The judges enjoyed their friendship and collaboration but wanted to see more nuance from the group. They earned a 38 out of 40.<\/p>\n Dylan Efron danced a jive to Elton John\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Still Standing,\u201d paying homage to the rock legend and judge Bruno Tonioli. The judge starred in John\u2019s music video for the 1983 hit. Efron\u2019s partner Daniella Karagach included steps from the video into the routine. Though the jive showed off Efron\u2019s abs and upbeat kicks and flicks, the judges wanted to see more ankle precision from the reality star. Flava Flav however was impressed by the routine, handing out his first 10 of the night. Tonioli admitted that the routine was \u201cabs-olutely fabulous.\u201d<\/p>\n Alix Earle brought the house down with her Paso Doble to \u201cLivin\u2019 On a Prayer.\u201d The social media star dedicated the routine to her and Jon Bon Jovi\u2019s home state of New Jersey \u2013 she even received a video message from the musician. Her partner Val Chmerkovskiy felt the pressure to deliver as the top three couples were performing the same powerful style, but the judges said Earle set the bar high. Tonioli called the routine \u201csexy as hell,\u201d while Inaba said she \u201cset the gold freaking standard.\u201d Flav could barely get his words out but gave the couple a 9 keeping them one point away from a perfect score.<\/p>\n Val Chmerkovskiy and Alix Earle in \u201cDancing With the Stars.\u201d (Disney)<\/p>\n A teary Andy Richter grew emotional talking about the support from his growing online fandom. Last week the comedian competed on his birthday, and viewers across the country threw birthday watch parties for him. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m being held up and carried,\u201d he told his partner Emma Slater. The comedian admitted he was nervous about being earnest in his contemporary routine to \u201cGod Only Knows\u201d by The Beach Boys. The routine was simple, but the judges commended him for his dedication to the competition. Flava Flav gave Richter a nine, earning him his highest score of the season.<\/p>\n Whitney Leavitt was ready to bring the fierce competition with her paso doble routine to \u201cNo More Tears\u201d by Ozzy Osbourne. Her partner Mark Ballas said that he wanted to include as much technical content as he could to make their paso doble stand out amongst the stiff competition. Hough called the routine \u201cperfection,\u201d and Tonioli praised the reality star for her perfectly precise Spanish lines. \u201cTiming was on point ya hear me,\u201d Flav said of Leavitt\u2019s routine before giving her a 10. Inaba noted the reality star had a couple stumbles but said she brought her A-game.<\/p>\n Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas in \u201cDancing With the Stars.\u201d (Disney)<\/p>\n \u201cBoy Meets World\u201d star Danielle Fishel fulfilled her dreams with her contemporary routine to Aerosmith\u2019s \u201cDream On.\u201d She opened up to her partner Pasha Pashkov about how her cancer journey pushed her to live out her dreams to the fullest. The actress told Julianne Hough that this week\u2019s dance was like therapy for her. Inaba said she felt chills from the routine, but Tonioli and Hough noted that there were a couple mistakes that they could not forgive.<\/p>\n After an abdominal injury sent her to the hospital last week, Elaine Hendrix returned to the ballroom with a fire in her belly. The actress had to take two days off of rehearsal to rest ahead of show day. Hendrix and her partner Alan Bersten dedicated their Viennese Waltz to \u201cWhat the World Needs Now Is Love\u201d by Dionne Warwick to animals. Tonioli called the performance sumptuous and extremely elegant. \u201cYou know how to sell it, honey,\u201d he said. Inaba and Hough praised the actress for her fluid quality of movement. \u201cYou don\u2019t move like you was hurt,\u201d Flav added. \u201cYou healed up beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n Elaine Hendriz and Alan Bernsten in \u201cDancing With the Stars.\u201d (Disney)<\/p>\n Jordan Chiles channelled music icon Tina Turner in her jazz performance of \u201cRiver Deep \u2013 Mountain High.\u201d After subpar comments from the judges last week, she and her partner Ezra Sosa were determined to get back on top. \u201cYou\u2019re ballsy,\u201d Inaba told the Olympic gymnast after her dynamic routine. Hough said that her flips and acrobatics deserved a 10. Flav could not stop beaming, giving his comments to the gold medalist, adding he wished he could give her a 55 not just a 10.<\/p>\n Robert Irwin set the floor aflame with his paso doble to \u201cIcky Thump\u201d by The White Stripes. He put the pressure on this week, comparing himself to professional dancers Mark Ballas and Val Chmerkovskiy. The wildlife conservationist brought the passion to his routine with Witney Carson. \u201cI don\u2019t care what nobody says you are the brand new Fred Astaire out here,\u201d Flav said. \u201cYou guys were absolutely amazing.\u201d Tonioli said his paso doble was superb. Inaba told Irwin that his momentum could take him to the finish line.<\/p>\n Watch Irwin\u2019s performance below:<\/p>\n LEADERBOARD: Week 8<\/strong><\/p>\n Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas: 79<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Jordan Chiles & Ezra Sosa: 78<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy: 77<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Robert Irwin & Witney Carson: 38<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Dylan Efron & Daniella Karagach: 76<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Elaine Hendrix & Alan Bersten: 75<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Danielle Fishel & Pasha Pashkov: 74<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Andy Richter & Emma Slater: 68<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d airs live on Tuesdays on ABC and streams on Disney+ in local time zones and the next day on Hulu.<\/p>\n The post \u2018Dancing With the Stars\u2019 Week 8: Robert Irwin Sizzles With \u2018Superb\u2019 Paso Doble to White Stripes Hit | Video<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d ballroom was on fire for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, honoring this year\u2019s inductees.
