Who Was Eliminated During DWTS’ Disney Night?

Disney Night has been a fan-favorite Dancing With the Stars theme for years, and the season 33 episode did not disappoint.

Celebrity contestants and their pro partners danced to songs from the Disney songbook during the Tuesday, October 22, episode. At the end of the evening, Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach, Phaedra Parks and Val Chmerkovskiy, and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold were tied at the bottom of the leaderboard.

After the votes were tallied, Parks, 50, and Chmkerkovskiy, 38, were sent home. Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong also earned immunity from next week’s dance-off due to having the highest number of points from the judges throughout the entire season.

Prior to the elimination results, Nedoroscik, 25, and Arnold, 19, kicked things off with a Charleston to “A Star Is Born” from Hercules. Just like the titular demigod, the Olympian knows something about feats of strength and got to show off his athleticism with some impressive tricks during the routine. Nedoroscik also got a spray tan to better emulate the Greek hero.

The judges told the gymnast that he still needs to work on timing, with Bruno Tonioli noting that Nedoroscik was rushing “quite a lot.”

Dancing With the Stars’ Hottest Romances Through the Years

While Nedoroscik has a habit of moving too fast, Jenn Tran and her partner, Sasha Farber, are taking it slow, even though some of their fellow contestants chanted for them to kiss after their rumba to “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid.

Instead of locking lips, Farber, 40, planted a sweet kiss on Tran’s forehead at the end of the routine. The duo did enjoy a romantic boat ride though, as seen in the video played before their performance.

“This is our first date. … Are you gonna try and kiss the girl today?” Tran, 26, joked.

Farber insisted “it’s not a date,” but shared that he’s felt like he’s known Tran “for a long, long time” since “the first day I met you.”

Just like any good Disney movie, the episode had some moments of triumph after struggle. Kinney, 24, earned three nines after Carrie Ann Inaba urged her to “dig deeper” during Dedication Night last week.

“The dig deeper comment did bug me a little bit, because I did dig deep, but I just don’t think I externalized it,” Kinney told cameras before her and Armstrong’s Paso Doble to “We Own the Night” from her film Zombies 2.

After a visit from her Zombies 2 costars Meg Donnelly and DWTS season 27 runner-up Milo Manheim, Kinney was ready to nail the performance. Inaba, 56, praised the “passionate [and] powerful” routine while Derek Hough reminded Kinney that dance instructors “picking on you” means “you’re doing something right.”

After each duo performed, the contestants paired off into teams for a group dance. Team Roar — comprised of Howard, Danny Amendola, Nedoroscik, Parks and their respective pro partners — earned three eights after dancing to “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from The Lion King, while Team Goofs — comprised of Ilona Maher, Kinney, Tran, Joey Graziadei and their pro counterparts — earned three nines after dancing to “I2I” from A Goofy Movie.

The scores from the group dance were added to each duo’s score from their duet performances.
