It was Disney week on “Dancing With the Stars,” but it wasn’t a fairytale ending for one pair.
Things started out on a high note with the “Disney Through the Ages” theme, which captured the emotion behind Disney favorites like “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,” “Steamboat Willie,” “The Little Mermaid,” “The Jungle Book” and “Moana.” The judges handed out their first perfect score of the season to Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold for their stunning performance to “You’re Welcome” from “Moana.”
But when it was time for the judges to make their decision, one star was unable to swim to success.
The bottom two couples came down to Sasha Pieterse and Gleb Savchenko, and Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson.
The “Pretty Little Liars” star danced to “The Little Mermaid” and made for a fetching Ariel while Gleb paraded around as a mer-man. The judges were impressed with the duo’s effort, with Carrie Ann saying she was “mesmerized” and Len saying it was a decent routine.
Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson put their best foot forward in a “Pirates of the Caribbean” inspired routine with Frankie testing his footwork with the tango. “Frankie, you’ve got some pirate game,” Carrie Ann praised. Although, she was also quick to note that Frankie accidentally stepped on Witney’s dress.
Sadly, the magic didn’t happen for… Sasha and Gleb! The duo was sent packing in Week 5. Sasha seemed happy with her time on the show and noted that she lost 37 pounds from dancing. Later, the “Pretty Little Liars” star shared a photo on her social media account of her final night on the show.
We’ll miss seeing the couple on the show!
