Prida Uziel and dancer Boris Denisov were eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" in the episode aired after June 17, 2026. The exit came earlier than expected, but Uziel left the competition in a notably upbeat mood, ending her run with a smile and one last dance.
In the elimination round, the judges unanimously chose to keep Shai Lee Shindler and dancer Nadav Shacham in the competition and send Uziel and Denisov home. Before the decision, the pair performed a rumba to "Anyone," sung by Yuval Raphael, and scored 18 points. Judge Haim praised Uziel's effort and journey, Anna said she was impressive, while David argued that the pair looked twisted and that he saw nothing resembling a rumba.
Uziel told the judges before leaving, "I am working as hard as I can, I have nothing left. It's very hard for me, I am doing the maximum and I put my whole life aside." After the elimination, she danced with a smile, prompting Haim to say he had never seen a contestant leave happier. Uziel later summed up the experience, saying she felt she had not fully expressed herself, but "it was fun" and there is "no one like Boris in the world."
