Notably, Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy matched this perfect score with their quickstep performance to the classic song “Be Our Guest” from “Beauty and the Beast.” As both couples tied at the top, the immunity was awarded to Harry and Jenna based on their cumulative scores throughout the season, with Harry and Jenna’s total standing at 236 against Jenna and Val’s 235.
