00:00The couple going home is
00:10Julia and Ezra.
00:13Please join us for a final moment.
00:18That's right, Save the Last Dance star Julia Stiles was sent home last night,
00:23despite showing off an impressive paso doble to Hamilton's Satisfied.
00:27But the dance did get love from Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda,
00:31who reposted it this morning,
00:33writing affectionately underneath My Forever Champion and tagging Julia Stiles.
00:38It was revealed in Stiles' pre-tape that she had a devastating rib injury
00:41that was affecting her ability to dance.
00:44Maura Higgins faced elimination in the final two last night
00:47after her Tinkerbell Jai performance that she dubbed Tinker Hell.
00:51And there were two perfect scores of the night,
00:53unsurprisingly coming from the two professional dancers on the season,
00:57Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Dewan.
01:00Jenna and Val performed a quick step to Beauty and the Beast's Be Our Guest,
01:03while Jenna Johnson and Harry performed a Dick Van Dyke-inspired jazz routine
01:08to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
01:11Connor, Wood, and Riley performed a waltz
01:13that judge Derek Huff said felt like watching a first dance at a wedding.
01:16They performed to the song I See the Light from Tangled.
01:19And speaking of Tangled, Daniella and Ezra earned praise from the judges
01:23for how they recovered from Daniella's dress getting tangled
01:26in Ezra's prosthetic leg mid-routine.
01:29Guest judge Cynthia Erivo said she felt like she was riding a wave with them during the dance,
01:34getting anxious when they became intertwined.
01:36And a big highlight of the night was the adorable banter
01:39between Erivo and judge Bruno Tonioli.
01:41Tatiana Ali danced contemporary with partner Jan to a song from Aida,
01:46with Ali receiving compliments on her emotion growing through the dance.
01:49And Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn and Pasha both transformed into Hercules for Disney night.
01:55It was also team dance night.
01:57Later in the show, the stars split up into teams Wildcats and Slaytopia.
02:01Val warned in a pre-tape that the losing team often has someone go home that night,
02:06and that came true, with Julia on the team dance that scored the lowest.
02:10But some fans are outraged,
02:12some claiming the show set Stiles up to fail
02:15by not mentioning her injury until last night's show.
02:17Stiles tearfully told reporters after the show that getting eliminated was a bummer,
02:22and she felt like she was just getting started.
02:24Now only seven couples remain,
02:26with just two live shows before the season finale.
02:29Who are you rooting for to win this season of Dancing with the Stars?
