The tie was settled using the couples’ cumulative scores from the season, with Harry and Jenna finishing ahead, 236 to 235.

Why was DWTS Disney Night moved to Monday?

Disney Night aired on Monday rather than the show’s usual Tuesday slot. This is because ABC was scheduled to carry US midterm election coverage on November 3. The next episode is scheduled for November 10.
