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 third performance show of the season. On tonight’s show the 11 remaining couples reinterpret and iconic “DWTS” dance and face a double elimination on this week’s Dancing With The Stars. If you missed last week’s performance show you can see a full and detailed recap here!
On last week’s show Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas danced the Quick Step and they were at the bottom of the leaderboard with 18/30. Bruno sarcastically quipped about their dance that it was like “the Quick Step in the Wild Wild West.” However Bristol was safe for the evening and in a shocking elimination Joey Fatone and professional dancer Kym Johnson were eliminated. If you missed the show you can see a full and detailed recap here!
On tonight’s show the couples will be dancing iconic numbers this week. What is an iconic dance on DWTS we hear you ask? According to the DWTS Wikipedia page, “Celebrities must chose an iconic routine from the previous fourteen seasons and perform it but try to make it as ‘iconic’ as it was previously.” We’re already cringing in our chairs! This will be the first time ever that the celebrities “have taken charge of the creative direction of the routine”. The remaining celebrities will have to be twice as good tonight because tomorrow two celebs will be going home!
