Phaedra Parks Eliminated on Disney Night

Disney Night never disappoints with ‘Dancing With the Stars’. During the October 22 episode, the duos pushed for the top 10 of the season – especially after two pairs with all 9s tied at the top of the leaderboard last week.

During Dedication Week, Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson’s Viennese Waltz and Danny Amendola and Witney Carson’s Contemporary routine both earned scores of 27/30. For Disney week, both wanted to fight for the first 10 of the season.

Unfortunately, Joey and Jenna’s Samba from “Trashin’ the Camp” from “Tarzan” fell short, earning a 25/30. Danny and Witney, meanwhile, performed a very powerful jazz routine to “Bye Bye Bye” from “Deadpool & Wolverine,” but still only managed three nines.

Elsewhere, Chandler Kinney admitted that it crossed her mind after her last dance when Carrie Ann Inaba told her to “dig deeper.” So she did just that for her Paso Doble with Brandon Armstrong, dancing to “We Own the Night” from her own movie “ZOMBIES 2.” The energetic routine earned the duo three nines.

Here are all the scores of the individual routines:

Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong: 27/30
Danny Amendola and Witney Carson: 27/30
Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson: 25/30
Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten: 25/30
Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach: 24/30
Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold: 24/30
Phaedra Parks and Val Chmerkovskiy: 24/30
Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber: 24/30

After the solo routines, the cast was split into two teams. Team Roar consisted of Dwight and Daniella, Danny and Witney, Stephen and Rylee, and Phaedra and Val. Although they were out of sync in their fun routine, they received a score of 24/30.

Team Goofs went next, as Ilona and Alan, Joey and Jenna, Chandler and Brandon, and Jenn and Sasha impressed the judges. Bruno Tonioli even said that when it came to the women, it was hard to tell who were the pros and who were the celebrities. This group achieved a score of 27/30.

The team scores were added to each of the individual dances, meaning Chandler and Brandon remained at the top of the leaderboard, followed by Ilona and Alan tied with Joey and Jenna; then Danny and Witney came along with Jenn and Sasha. Dwight and Daniela, Phaedra and Val, and Stephen and Rylee were tied at the bottom.

Scores were then combined with audience votes. At the end, co-host Alfonso Ribeiro announced that viewers had once again broken the record for the number of separate votes in one evening.

But still, someone had to go. Phaedra and Val were ultimately eliminated.
