Thursday, November 13, 2025 -This week’s 20th‑anniversary episode of Dancing With the Stars pulled out all the stops — returning pros, a special guest judge, and a ballroom filled with nostalgia.
Tom Bergeron returned to the show as guest judge for the first time since his 2020 departure, adding a sense of celebration and callback to the event. The pairs delivered with high energy and emotion, setting the tone for a milestone night.
Four couples earned perfect 40/40 scores: Robert Irwin and Witney Carson, Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach, Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, and Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas.
A key twist: the episode featured a relay dance round where celebrities teamed up with former mirrorball champions, making the competition tougher and the stakes higher. Yet amidst the jubilation, not everyone left with a smooth ride.
At the end of the night, comedian Andy Richter and his partner Emma Slater were eliminated after scoring 29/40 — the lowest of the evening. It was a reminder that even on a celebratory night, the competition remains cut‑throat. As the show heads into its final weeks, the mix of legacy, high scores and high stakes has fans talking.
