Overview
- Host Milly Carlucci said pro dancer Carlo Aloia was hurt in rehearsals and taken to Rome’s Policlinico Gemelli for an MRI on a calf or tendon issue, with his return still uncertain.
- Filippo Zara stepped in for the injured Aloia to partner Nancy Brilli in the episode that aired November 8–9.
- Francesca Fialdini performed with her right foot bandaged, dancing largely on one leg with Giovanni Pernice, and finished second with 69 points after Alberto Matano’s tesoretto.
- Paolo Belli and Anastasia Kuzmina led the standings with 76 points after a high-scoring waltz and a bonus allocation.
- Emma Coriandoli (Maurizio Ferrini) was eliminated in the initial spareggio, as Carlucci signaled continuity for the show with a “The show must go on” message.
