Ballando con le stelle 2025 accelerates the race towards the final. There are five episodes left and then we will find out who will lift the cup of Rai 1’s “half talent, half variety” hosted by Milly Carlucci, under the watchful eyes of the five jurors. The contribution of Ivan Zazzaroni, Fabio Canino, Carolyn Smith, Selvaggia Lucarelli and Guillermo Mariotto was also decisive last night, in the eighth episode which ultimately rewarded three couples: Barbara D’Urso and Pasquale La Rocca, Martina Colombari and Luca Favilla, Andrea Delogu and Nikita Perotti.
Dancing with the Stars 2025eighth episode report cards, couples, eliminated
Before the official start of the race, Milly Carlucci opened the play-off between three very different couples in terms of route and conditions. Filippo Magnini with Alessandra Tripoli and Marcella Bella with Chiquito, last in the previous episode, were playing for their permanence together with Andrea Delogu with Nikita Perotti, back on track after the mourning that had kept the presenter away from the program. Social televoting, the “social vote” rewards Andrea Delogu with 55% of the votes. Filippo Magnini also survived with 35%. Marcella Bella, stuck at 10%, is the third eliminated competitor Dancing with the Stars 2025. After Beppe Convertini and Mrs. Coriandoli.
Barbara D’Urso “avenged” by Alberto Matano and Rossella Erra
When Massimiliano Rosolino reads the final ranking, Barbara D’Urso and Pasquale La Rocca are only sixth. In the end, however, they won by a landslide with 88 points thanks to the double treasure of Alberto Matano and Rossella Erra. For the first time since the beginning of the season the prince of the treasure and the people’s tribune agree in awarding the 50 points earned by the dancer Pierluigi Pardo for one night. In the end D’Urso and La Rocca go to the playoff “positively” with Andrea Delogu with Nikita Perotti and Martina Colombari and Luca Favilla. And Andrea winswho will start the race with a 30 point lead next week. Martina Colombari will bring 20 and Barbara D’Urso 10. Meanwhile, here are the pass and fail winners of the evening.
Matteo Addino does not save Marcella Bella. Rating 3
In the sixth episode, when Mrs. Coriandoli had been eliminated, Sara Di Vaira had played her wild card without thinking twice and had put her back in the game. A controversial choice, but one that ultimately did the program good. The “spectacle factor”, after all, a Dancing with the stars It counts at least as much as a lap done well. As, when Marcella Bella was eliminated in the three-way playoff with Filippo Magnini and Andrea Delogu at the opening of the episode, everyone expected that Matteo Addinoowner of the second wild card of the season, used it without batting an eyelid.
Marcella Bella is not a naive girl who stumbled onto the track by chance: she was the only one capable of standing up to the jury, of replying without becoming heavy, of entertaining even when the steps were not flawless. He has charisma, cheek, self-irony. But Addino doesn’t use the wild card and so Dancing with the stars it loses one of its liveliest presencesjust at the stage where they serve as air. Sin.

The dignity of Andrea Delogu. Without a vote
Ok the race, ok the show, but giving a rating to Andrea Delogu for his story would be disrespectful to the story itself. Given that after two weeks of absence she danced as if she had never stoppedin addition to the choreography, yesterday the presenter stood out for the dignity with which she shared the emotions of the difficult moment she is experiencing, after the accident that ended her brother’s life. And that changed his. «Life has changed forever. My brother is really a piece of me. It was before. And it is now. This is the last time I talk about my brother”: Andrea speaks in the introductory clip and, as she does so, those who listen to her would like to hug her. Alternatively, even hug the television.
«We are here and we need to move forward. And I can’t give in. But then at a certain point this mourning must become private. I experience my pain alone. This is why I don’t want to talk about it, this is why I went back to work. Because when I’m at home this thing is unmanageable. If someone doesn’t understand, I don’t know what to do. I have nothing else to say. I know I made the right choice. I also want to smile again.” It will happen when she’s ready. It will be a hard-earned smile. But deserved, like all the affection received in recent weeks. Like the applause for the waltz he brought to the dance floor: elegant, courageous, intense.
Martina Colombari and the rebirth of Dancing with the Stars 2025. Vote 10
She dances so well now that last night during the performance she seemed like a professional like her teacher Luca Favilla. But what moved us, in addition to his freestyle, was the story of the rebirth of his son Achille. The introductory clip to the dance, in fact, put together his broken voice and Achille’s confessions from the podcast One More Time. A simple editing and at the same time a short circuit of emotions. «Dancing is changing me, more than dancing itself. It is a particular parenthesis in my life, a suspended moment” said the most beautiful former Miss Italy of all.
«They pointed out to me as the wrong mother, the mother who couldn’t do it, who could have done more»: commenting on Achille’s dark period, between addictions and the therapeutic community, Martina Colombari said that «there was an exploitation of what happened which I found disgustingespecially because there was already a judgment.”
And the question: “Where did I go wrong? Where did we go wrong?”, she says, accompanied her every morning: «it was there with the coffee. It was our emotional routine.” Today Achilles is better. It’s not a movie-like happy ending, but an uphill journey, day after day. Beyond the dancing, excellent as it has been for a few weeks now, last night Martina Colombari wrote a beautiful piece of television. Without rhetoric or victimism.
Francesca Fialdini and Giovanni Pernice (Ansa)
Francesca Fialdini leaves the race. Rating 5
Francesca Fialdini is not the problem, on the contrary. Already injured on her foot, the presenter also suffered three fractured ribs. “Displaced fracture,” he clarified. Faced with a diagnosis like this, the decision to temporarily abandon the race is the most human and logical one possible. He will return to the competition in the eleventh episode, scheduled for December 6th, the repechage. AND given the affection he has received from the public so far, one thinks he will return to the competition. Even the jury never hid the fact that they wanted her in the final: Selvaggia Lucarelli underlined that «there is plenty of time to recover and we hope it will go like this». Guillermo Mariotto said it clearly: «I’m counting on you coming back and taking the cup». So far, the words.
And then there is the afterthought, the one that circulates in the corridors like an annoying current of air. The malicious whisper that all this concern towards Francesca Fialdini is not just admiration for her elegance on the track. No, they say it has something to do with the fact that Francesca is destined to move up in Raithat her professional path is in full acceleration and that it is better for everyone to keep her “warm”, cuddle her, push her towards the final. A bizarre theory, certainly, but one that is often repeated. Francesca Fialdini a Dancing with the stars does not need preferential treatment. But the situation around her is fueling more chatter than necessary.
