**Dancing With the Stars Brings Rock and Roll Vibes Along with Another Elimination**
Tuesday’s episode of *Dancing With the Stars* rocked the ballroom with an exciting Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night, which also saw the elimination of a fan-favorite TV icon. *Boy Meets World* star Danielle Fishel and her professional partner Pasha Pashkov were sent home, marking the end of their journey this season.
Last week’s Halloween Night brought surprises as well, including the elimination of *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* star Jen Affleck and newcomer pro Jan Ravnik. This left just eight couples remaining for Season 34:
– Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov
– Social media personality Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy
– Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and Witney Carson
– *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* star Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas
– Reality TV star and content creator Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach
– Comedian Andy Richter and Emma Slater
– Film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix (who made a return to the ballroom after recovering from an injury) and Alan Bersten
– Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa
Flavor Flav joined the show as a guest judge, guiding the couples as they danced to classic rock and roll favorites. Apart from their individual performances, the couples were divided into two teams of four for the fan-favorite team dance competition. The show’s hosts, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, also participated in the teams.
**Team Kool** featured Julianne Hough, team captain Andy Richter, Emma Slater, Robert Irwin and Witney Carson, Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, along with Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten. They earned 38 bonus points added to their individual scores.
On **Team Chicago**, Alfonso Ribeiro led as team captain alongside Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov, Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, and Dylan Efron with Daniella Karagach. This team earned 40 bonus points.
A new twist this week rewarded the couple at the top of the leaderboard before the team dances with immunity from next week’s team relay, plus an additional two points added to their scores—provided they survive the elimination this week. Although Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas were tied at the top of the leaderboard with Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, Leavitt and Ballas claimed the immunity spot due to having the highest combined judges’ scores for the season.
By the end of the night, Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas led the leaderboard with a total of 79 points, thanks to judges’ scores and the team dance boost. At the bottom was Andy Richter and Emma Slater with 68 points.
The bottom three couples facing elimination were Andy Richter and Emma Slater, Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, and Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov. Ultimately, Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov were eliminated after performing a Contemporary dance to Aerosmith’s “Dream On,” finishing with a total score of 74.
The competition continues to heat up as the remaining couples battle it out to keep their spot in the competition and impress both the judges and fans. Stay tuned for more thrilling performances next week on *Dancing With the Stars*.
