A dramatic episode of Dancing With The Stars came to a close last night, with one couple being sent packing after receiving the lowest combined total of judges' scores and viewer votes from Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Night and the Team Dance challenge.
The episode kicked off with a high-energy opening number featuring Def Leppard and Public Enemy's 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and 'Fight The Power'. Viewers were then treated to a tour number by Outkast, choreographed by Mandy Moore, and a troupe dance by Stevie Wonder.
For the Team Dance challenge, the remaining eight couples split into two groups, with Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach from Team Chicago performing a group dance to "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago. The team received perfect scores, earning them bonus points that will be added to their individual scores.
Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy from Team Kool performed a Paso Doble to "Livin' On a Prayer" by Bon Jovi, receiving high praise from the judges for their performance, except Flavor Flav who awarded them a 9 instead of perfect score. The rest of the teams received good scores but were unable to match Team Chicago's flawless routine.
In the end, it was Andy Richter and Emma Slater that fell short in scoring and received the lowest combined total of judges' scores and viewer votes from Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Night and the Team Dance challenge. They will be eliminated during Week 8 of Dancing With The Stars Season 34.
During the episode, Flavor Flav joined the judging panel alongside Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli as a guest judge for the night. "I'm still standing" by Elton John was performed to by Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach, with Flavor Flav praising their performance from start to finish, while Derek noted that they needed more energy but were fantastic overall.
As the episode came to a close, viewers witnessed Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa performing a Jazz dance to "River Deep – Mountain High" by Ike & Tina Turner. The duo received praise for their performance but fell short in scoring behind Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night leaderboard saw Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas at the top with 79 points total, followed closely by Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa on 78 points each.

even tho his rumba last week was kinda meh. flavor flav as a guest judge was lit 
i loved how he praised dylan & Daniella's performance, even tho they didn't deserve it 
and whats up with the judges scoring? one minute its 9 then next is 8 lol. anywayz, cant wait to see who gets eliminated next 
they worked so hard and gave it their all, but unfortunately didn't quite get enough scores to stay in the competition 
what a tough break for them, but we're rooting for you guys and wish you all the best for your next adventures 
. I mean, Andy and Emma were a solid couple, but I guess they just didn't bring their A game last night 
. And can we talk about Flavor Flav's judging skills? Like, I get that he's a legend and all, but giving Alix and Val perfect scores on the Paso Doble was way off 
. And don't even get me started on Carrie Ann's comments about Andy's performance... not impressed 
.
! And I'm loving Whitney and Mark's top spot right now 
. The team dance challenge was also super fun to watch, especially the Chicago group number 
.
. Team Chicago totally SLAYED their routine, and I'm loving how Flavor Flav kept it real with his 9 for Alix and Val 
OMG I'm so shocked that Andy and Emma got eliminated! 
They were one of my fave couples all season 
. Their Paso Doble to "Livin' On a Prayer" was SO good! 
. The Team Dance challenge was insane, especially with the Chicago team's flawless routine 
. Whitney and Mark are still my top picks though 
. Can we talk about how epic the opening number was? 
Def Leppard and Public Enemy killing it together 
. Flavor Flav as a guest judge was lit 
, but I think he might have been a bit harsh on some of the other couples 
. Anyway, it's all part of the game, right? 
Can't wait to see who's next! 
the way they danced was so smooth but it seemed like they were just going through the motions towards the end
