\n\tAfter last week\u2019s rather awkward tribute to TikTok, Dancing with the Stars<\/a> returned to familiar ground Tuesday with its popular Disney Night. After a Mandy Moore-choreographed opener to \u201cBe My Guest,\u201d the duos opened their rehearsal packages with corny stand-ups from Disneyland to help celebrate the park\u2019s 70th year in Anaheim. <\/p>\n

\n\tBut if you really want to talk about the Happiest Place on Earth right now, it\u2019s gotta be the DWTS ballroom. The ABC show once again shattered voting records last week, much to the despair of poor Lauren Jauregui who unexpectedly got the boot. Most viewers thought it was Andy Richter\u2019s time to go, but the Fifth Harmony crooner went home, instead.<\/p>\n

\n\tIs it Richter\u2019s turn tonight? <\/p>\n

\n\tComedian Andy Richter with partner Emma Slater.<\/strong>\u00a0Richter was the cook to Slater\u2019s rat for their unremarkable Viennese waltz to a tune from Ratatouille. It was far from a chef\u2019s kiss but Richter is downright adorable when owning his mediocrity. \u201cAndy, you produce such memorable moments,\u201d said Carrie Ann Inaba. \u201cWe are, though, at week 4 \u2026 we\u2019re gonna be looking for more content. I want you to challenge yourself more.\u201d SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>18 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tDanielle Fishel (Boy Meets World) with Pasha Pashkov.<\/strong>\u00a0Fishel vowed to go all out this week with her Jungle Book themed-quickstep to \u201cI Wanna Be Like You,\u201d but she still got dinged by Bruno Tonioli for failing to keep the beat. \u201cOnce you went into the quickstep was very very good but you were off timing, my darling,\u201d he said. SCORE:<\/strong>\u00a021 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tPentatonix singer Scott Hoying with Rylee Arnold.<\/strong>\u00a0Hoying feels like he has finally \u201cbroken out of his shell\u201d but his slightly-better-than-average salsa didn\u2019t quite have the same wow factor as last week\u2019s jazz performance. Making matters worse, he had to do it to \u201cBop to the Top\u201d from High School Musical, which is about as Cuban as the white-bread characters who performed it in the 2006 TV movie. The judges cut him a break, though. \u201cThat\u2019s what happens with the confidence kicks in,\u201d said Inaba. \u201cYou razzle-dazzled with that salsa.\u201d SCORE:<\/strong>\u00a021 out of 30<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tANDY RICHTER, EMMA SLATER (Disneyland Resort, Sean Teegarden)<\/p>\n

\n\tWildlife conservationist Robert Irwin with Witney Carson.\u00a0<\/strong>Irwin has a funny habit of either mouthing words or chewing on air when dancing, but that\u2019s small note for his otherwise splendid cha cha to the way-too-slow \u201cTry Everything\u201d from Zootopia. \u201cYou just have that Irwin aura,\u201d said Derek Hough. \u201cYou can\u2019t help but smile when watching you perform. Your upper half is so strong.\u201d SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>22 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tAuthor and influencer Hilaria Baldwin and Gleb Savchenko<\/strong>. Baldwin\u2019s quickstep to the cantina song from Star Wars was out of this world! Hough argued that her \u201cquickstep\u201d needed more quickstep but his fellow judges disagreed. So did I. \u201cPrincess Leia, the force is still with you,\u201d said Tonioli, in reference to her Carrie Fisher-inspired costume. \u201cWhatever you did, worked. I actually watched very, very closely what you did tonight, really analyzing. I was looking for something wrong. I didn\u2019t see it.\u201d SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>23 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tJen Affleck (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) with Jan Ravnik.<\/strong> The Mormon mama closed the show with an acrobat-filled jazz routine to a song from Aladdin that truly embodied the Disney theme. And Ravnik makes a terrific genie! Oddly, Inaba wasn\u2019t blown away. \u201cYou are living the Disney dream right now. Great performance,\u201d she said. \u201cBut something about it didn\u2019t set me over the top. Boo me! I think you need to make it a little more challenging as we move forward.\u201d SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>23 out 30<\/p>\n

\n\tReality TV star Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach.<\/strong>\u00a0Efron\u2019s perky quickstep to the Cars song \u201cLife is a Highway\u201d kept him in the judges\u2019 good graces, who clearly appreciate his good looks and week-to-week growth. \u201cDylan McQueen, the quickstep king!\u201d said Hough. \u201cSo impressed with that left arm, you were keeping that strong all the way through.\u201d SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>23 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tSocial media personality Alix Earle with Val Chmerkovskiy.<\/strong>\u00a0Bravo to Chmerkovskiy, who offered a fresh take on the Cinderella classic \u201cOne Upon a Dream\u201d by having Earle dress as Maleficent for their dark and evocative Viennese waltz. \u201cAlix, that was mesmerizing,\u201d said Hough. \u201cIt was magical, it was spellbinding \u2026 I disagree with Carrie Ann last week. This was your best dance.\u201d SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>24 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tActor Elaine Hendrix with Alan Bersten.<\/strong> Poor Bersten had his work cut out for him this week, having to choreograph a killer quickstep to the theme song from \u2026. Space Mountain?! But Bersten and the stage managers (who trotted out some bitchen lasers) gave Hendrix the ride of her life. \u201cThat was a complicated routine,\u201d said Hough. \u201cYou didn\u2019t miss a beat.\u201d SCORE:<\/strong>\u00a024 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tOlympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa.\u00a0<\/strong>The gymnast\u2019s quickstep to a spirited tune from The Princess and the Frog had the judges raving about her natural ballroom ability. \u201cThis kind of dance is why people love Disney night. You brought it to life. When you dance it\u2019s fun, it\u2019s animated but it\u2019s also authentic.\u201d SCORE<\/strong>: 24 out of 30<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tMARK BALLAS, WHITNEY LEAVITT (Disney\/Christopher Willard) <\/p>\n

\n\tWhitney Leavitt (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) with Mark Ballas<\/strong>. Look who just became the frontrunner! The duo\u2019s foxtrot to \u201cRoom Where it Happens\u201d From Hamilton was an absolute stunner and deserved to close the show (sorry, Affleck). \u201cThere is traditional foxtrot and then there is Mark\u2019s foxtrot,\u201d said Inaba. \u201cWhile I was watching, my lip was quivering. It was so good. The precision, the technicality, the painting of that picture was incredible. Insane.\u201d SCORE: <\/strong> 25 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tHost Alfonso Ribeiro began the eliminations by announcing how the show just exceeded 40 million votes. Yowza! <\/p>\n

\n\tBottom three were Richter, Baldwin and Fishel. In another shocker elimination, Baldwin was sent home. The influencer was gracious about her departure, though. No words about feeling pissed from this one!<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis has been an incredible experience,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful to all of you. And I\u2019m grateful to my children and my family! Thank you guys for this. I\u2019m cheering on everybody in the cast because this has been an amazing time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After last week\u2019s rather awkward tribute to TikTok, Dancing with the Stars returned to familiar ground Tuesday with…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":285725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[50089,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-285724","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dancing-with-the-stars","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115336918141360868","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
