This Goodbye Is Too Painful! — DWTS Fan Favorite Breaks Down In Tears After A Shocking Disney Night Elimination, Leaving Viewers Devastated As Fans Insist The WRONG Contestant Was Sent Home!! The tears said it all… What should have been a magical Disney Night ended in an absolutely heartbreaking goodbye. A former frontrunner was sent home in tears, despite two couples earning perfect scores. Fans were left devastated, flooding social media with one painful question: how could their favorite be eliminated? Many believe the wrong contestant went home — and the emotional exit has made this one of the night’s most shocking moments.

Following last week’s shocking double elimination of Tyler Cameron and Jackson Olson, the competition continued with eight couples taking the ballroom floor on Monday night. By the end of the episode, Stiles and Sosa finished in eighth place for Season 35.

The actress became emotional while reflecting on her experience. “It’s been an incredible experience. I pulled things out of myself that I didn’t realize were there,” she said after landing near the bottom of the leaderboard. Sosa also described partnering with Stiles as an “absolute honor.”

The pair had faced a difficult week leading up to Disney Night. During rehearsals, Stiles called Sosa a “cranky bitch” after a heated practice session. She was also dealing with rib pain from a previous injury while preparing for their paso doble to “Satisfied” from Hamilton.

Despite the physical challenge, Stiles received praise from the judges. Carrie Ann Inaba said she had been “digging deep” and turning raw emotion into beautiful dancing, while Derek Hough described her performance as a comeback after the previous week’s setback. The pair earned 33 out of 40 points, but it was not enough to keep them in the competition.

Fans were quick to share their disappointment online. One viewer wrote, “I am devastated for Julia and Ezra!” Another commented, “I can’t believe Julia and Ezra went home!!!” Several viewers also questioned the result, with one saying, “The wrong couple went home tonight.”

Others believed Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas or Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold should have been eliminated instead. One fan wrote, “NO….. not Julia! ” Another expressed frustration over the outcome, saying, “I think this show, unfortunately, is rigged. The judges seem to have their favorites.” Not everyone was upset, however. One viewer admitted, “I’m honestly not too sad Julia went home. I’m just glad Tatyana is safe this week.”

While Stiles and Sosa’s elimination became the biggest talking point of the night, two other couples had reasons to celebrate. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson performed a jazz routine to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Mary Poppins, earning a perfect 40 out of 40. Derek Hough praised Shum Jr.’s performance and said he should be on Broadway.

Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also received a perfect score for their quickstep to “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast. The two couples tied at the top of the leaderboard, but Shum Jr. and Johnson earned immunity from next week’s dance-off because their cumulative season score was one point higher.

The rest of the night featured performances inspired by Disney on Broadway, with Tony Award winner and Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo joining Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli as a guest judge.

Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov opened the show with a quickstep to “A Star Is Born” from Hercules, earning 34 points. Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas followed with a jive to “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” from Peter Pan, scoring 32 points. Higgins played Tinker Bell while Ballas took on Captain Hook.

Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik performed a contemporary routine to “Easy As Life” from Aida and received 33 points. Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach brought The Little Mermaid to the ballroom with a samba to “Under the Sea,” earning 37 points. Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold closed the individual performances with a waltz to “I See the Light” from Tangled, scoring 32 points.

The team dances also returned. Team Slaytopia, led by Ali and Ravnik, performed a freestyle to “Zoo” from Zootopia 2 with Alfonso Ribeiro and earned 36 points. Team Wildcats, led by Wood and Arnold, danced to “We’re All in This Together” from High School Musical alongside Julianne Hough, receiving a perfect 40.

With Stiles and Sosa now out of the competition, seven couples remain in the race for the Season 35 Mirrorball Trophy. New episodes of Dancing With the Stars air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, with episodes streaming on Hulu the following day.
