Tonight on ABC the glitz, the glamour and the drama returns once again to the ballroom on Dancing With The Stars All-Stars as we see the second performance show of the season. On tonight’s show the 12 remaining Dancing with the Stars All-Stars couples are going to Jive or Quickstep their way to get one step closer to winning that coveted Mirror Ball Trophy.
On last week’s show Pamela Anderson Cha-Cha-Cha her way out of the competition with a score of 17.0. Anderson’s 10th season stint on DWTS landed her 6th place in the overall competition, with an average median score of 22.8. Did you see the performance show last week? We have a recap here for you!
Here are the dance assignments for the week. Quickstep: Bristol Palin, Apolo Anton Ohno, Sabrina Bryan, Emmitt Smith, Joey Fatone and Kelly Monaco. Jive: Melissa Rycroft, Helio Castroneves, Kirstie Alley, Drew Lachey, Shawn Johnson and Gilles Marini. Who will be the next to go? What will the campy show deliver tonight? Who are you rooting for? Apolo claims that he’s going to be the only dance contestant in the history of the show to take home the Mirror Ball Trophy twice. Do you think he has what it takes to do it a second time?
On Tuesday’s result show Katherine Jenkins, last season’s finalist and classical singer, who returns to the ballroom as a special musical guest. She will be taking the stage with Placido Domingo, performing “Come What May,” featured on Domingo’s new album, “Songs,” out October 16th.
The exciting lineup will continue with the season’s first “Macy’s Stars of Dance” performance, a futuristic standoff featuring some of the world’s most talented dancers battling for dance floor supremacy. The performance is choreographed by Shannon Mather, spotlighting Blake McGrath, Ian Eastwood and Tyne Stecklein leading their groups in an epic performance.
