In a night dedicated to celebrating a century of Disney magic, the latest episode of Dancing With The Stars season 32 Disney 100 Night was nothing short of enchanting. Hosted by Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, the episode featured performances set to iconic Disney songs. But the magic couldn't save everyone. Despite a high-scoring performance, NFL star Adrian Peterson and his partner Britt Stewart were sent home.
The pair danced a Viennese waltz to Baby Mine from Dumbo and earned a score of 25 out of 30, their highest yet. Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli were all present to critique the performances, with Derek Hough even making a paddle mistake that added a touch of human error to the otherwise polished event.

Derek Hough's paddle mistake and Barry Williams' past
In a moment that reminded viewers that even professionals can make mistakes, Derek Hough accidentally raised a paddle showing a score of 6 instead of 7 while judging Lele Pons. This minor hiccup added a layer of authenticity to the live event. Barry Williams, who performed a jazz routine to He's a Tramp from Lady and the Tramp, shared a personal tidbit. He revealed that years ago, he had auditioned for the legendary Bob Fosse, which led him to explore jazz dance.
Selma Blair's advice to Alyson Hannigan
Selma Blair, a former Dancing With The Stars contestant, made a special appearance. She visited the rehearsal studio to offer some words of wisdom to Alyson Hannigan. Blair, who had to leave the show last year due to health concerns, provided valuable insights that seemed to resonate with Hannigan, who is currently at the bottom of the leaderboard.
From Lele Pons' Rumba to Jason Mraz's Foxtrot
Several other contestants had noteworthy performances in Dancing With The Stars season 32. Lele Pons danced a rumba to Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King and received a score of 22. Jason Mraz, who has been consistently good, scored 24 for his foxtrot. Mauricio Umansky performed a Paso Doble to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice from Fantasia and earned a score of 19.
Final thoughts
Dancing With The Stars season 32’s magic of Disney couldn't shield Adrian Peterson and Britt Stewart from elimination, despite their high score. The episode was a mix of highs and lows, from Xochitl Gomez's leaderboard-topping performance to the paddle mistake by judge Derek Hough.
Guest appearances and personal revelations added layers to the competition.

The stakes are high, and as this episode showed, anything can happen. The next episode of Dancing With The Stars season 32 is set to air on Tuesday, October 24 at 8 pm ET.
