Who Got Eliminated On 'Dancing With The Stars' 2025 Tonight? Here Are The Results From Week 8

Dancing With the Stars Season 34's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night was a show-stopping celebration of music, nostalgia, and fiery competition. As the finale comes closer, the episode of November 4, 2025, lit the ballroom with eight celebrity-pro pairs rocking to legendary hits. They all paid tribute to this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Whether it was their high-energy routines or emotional performances, the stars gave it their all. But as always, one couple had to say goodbye to the show.

Who was eliminated from Dancing With The Stars 2025's Week 8 episode? 

According to ABC's official results, the night ended with Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov being eliminated. Their elimination was decided by combining the scores of judges and the live audience, which fell short of saving them. Despite earning a respectable 34 out of 40 from the judges, the pair couldn't secure enough viewer votes to stay in the competition. Before her performance, Daniel had opened up about up about how she had a rough week after a visit to the surgeon and how her preparation had sparked a lot of negtive self-talk. In her words:

“We are telling the story about how difficult it can be to be a woman in society where we are somehow always too much and also never enough. No matter what choice you make, whether you work inside the home or outside the home. There’s no winning, and having been in the public eye and on TV since I was 10 years old, I have been under a microscope, and my choices have been scrutinized. I’ve made terrible mistakes. And I’m resistant to it because it’s triggering so many things in me.”

On the other hand, Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, along with Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, led the scoreboard after attaining 39 out of 40. Robert Irwin and Witney Carson and Jordan Chiles, and Ezra Sosa closely followed them. Each of these pairs received a score of 38 out of 40. Even strong performances were not enough to save Hendrix and Bersten from elimination. It once again proved that audience engagement is as crucial as technique for staying in Dancing With The Stars Season 34. 

What does Daniel Fishel's elimination mean to the show?

Dancing With The Stars' week 8 scores reflect how the competition has become more challenging than ever. Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach delivered a near-perfect 36, while Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov earned 34. Lastly, Andy Richter & Emma Slater finished at the lower end with 30. Despite being mid-table, Daniel's exit came as a surprise to many fans who praised their chemistry and showmanship online. But as DWTS history shows, even high-scoring couples can fall prey to low audience votes.

After the exit of Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov, the seven remaining couples on the show will go ahead in the race for the finale on November 25, 2025, with one of them taking home the Mirrorball Trophy. As the competition narrows, every vote and every move will count. According to Entertainment Weekly, the upcoming weeks will become tougher, with more choreography challenges and no room for error. The elimination also adds extra pressure on mid-tier performers like Andy Richter, who need to buck up to serve.
