Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned immunity from the next Dancing With the Stars dance-off after the highest scores on Disney Night. Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated from the competition, which has seven couples remaining in season 35.

Why it matters

Immunity from the dance-off can keep a couple in the competition for another week, shaping which pairs remain as the season narrows. Couple immunity in this season was decided by cumulative scores after a tie on Disney Night, showing how season-long totals can outweigh a single performance.

Shum and Johnson posted 236 season points, one ahead of Dewan and Chmerkovskiy's 235, with both pairs scoring 40/40 on Disney Night. The extraction does not indicate the viewership or ratings figures for the episode.

Season Trajectory

The season-long cumulative scoring format used here means a single strong week does not guarantee advancement, as shown when Shum and Johnson's season total edged out a pair with an equal Disney Night score. Immunity decisions in this format tend to reward consistency across the full season rather than peak performance alone.

The Grammy Night episode airs Tuesday, November 10 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streams on Disney+, so viewers can follow the next dance-off there. The extraction does not specify the date of the next dance-off itself.

The takeaway

Season totals can matter as much as a standout week, so viewers tracking a favorite couple should watch cumulative performance across the whole season. Immunity can be decisive when several pairs are closely matched on points.
