Harry Shum Jr. earned the season's first perfect 40. Will the judges hand out another 40 on DWTS's Disney Night Nov 2?

On November 3, 2026, this question resolved YES.

57% of users predicted NO โ€” the community missed this one. 7 predictions cast.

Season 35 of "Dancing With the Stars" aired its Disney Night episode on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, moved up from its usual Tuesday slot because of Election Day. Guest judge Cynthia Erivo joined the panel. Harry Shum Jr. and partner Jenna Johnson scored a second consecutive 40 out of 40, earning full marks for a jazz routine set to a "Mary Poppins" number, after becoming the first couple to reach a perfect score the previous week. Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also hit 40/40 with a quickstep to "Be Our Guest," the night's second perfect score.

Because the two couples tied atop the leaderboard, immunity from next week's dance-off went to Shum and Johnson, whose season-long point total of 236 edged Dewan and Chmerkovskiy's 235. Julia Stiles and partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated at the end of the episode based on a combination of judges' scores and viewer votes.

The Predict Six community had leaned against another perfect score, with only 43% predicting yes. The outcome went against that majority: two additional 40s were awarded on Disney Night, not just one.
