Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas showcased their exceptional skills on Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) Season 34, earning a remarkable combined score of 79 out of 80 during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night on Tuesday, November 5. Their outstanding performance made history as Team Chicago recorded the first perfect team score of 40 out of 40.
Leavitt’s stellar return to the top of the leaderboard is particularly noteworthy, as she scored 39 points on her first dance followed by a flawless 40 in their second routine. Following them were Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, finishing second with a combined score of 78 out of 80.
The historic achievement of Team Chicago, led by Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov, not only secured them the highest scores of the season but also granted them an immunity advantage, ensuring they cannot be eliminated in the coming week.
This week marked a critical juncture in Season 34, with dramatic performances and a unique guest judge, Flavor Flav, who added a fresh dynamic to the scoring process. Although he inadvertently under-scored Alix Earle by giving her a 9 instead of the intended 10, this moment led to further discussions among viewers, adding to the evening’s entertainment.
The competition remains fierce, with only a 2-point difference separating the top two couples. This proximity in scores signals an intensifying race as the finals approach. With the stakes higher, Leavitt’s consistency and ability to maintain her top positioning will be crucial as the show progresses.
Looking ahead, viewers are left to wonder how the dynamics of team competition will influence individual standings, and whether the immunity advantage will enhance Leavitt and Ballas’s performances moving forward. The presence of guest judges continues to stir debate over scoring, setting the stage for potentially exciting developments in upcoming episodes.
As the competition unfolds, the variety of themes and styles will challenge the contestants, allowing fans to see which couples can adapt best and sustain their momentum toward the finale. With fresh choreography ahead, DWTS enthusiasts are eager to witness how each pair will tackle new challenges while aiming to impress both judges and fans alike.
