Tonight on ABC DANCING WITH THE STARS ALL-STARS, the seven remaining couples face a fusion routine to try to outlast one another as they compete in this season’s dance marathon. The remaining couple will face no elimination this week.
On last week’s show Sabrina and Louis’ departure kicked up the dust during last week’s elimination episode. Their departure signaled a change for the rest of the couples, as Sabrina and Louis were the highest score holders of the competition at the time of their exit. Did you watch last week’s performance show? We did and we recapped it here for you!

Apolo Ohno and partner Karina Smirnoff will dance the Cha Cha/Paso Doble
Judges comments:
Len: “I tell you what it is like, is looking in the mirror when I look at your body. There was nothing safe about that performance, Apolo Ohno, oh ya!”
Bruno: “Like a wolf with plenty of power. You should be in Twilight. Cha-Cha-Cha clean. Paso doble triumphant!”
Carrie Ann: “It is amazing to see you are still pushing himself. But the dance I loved the approach. It was hot It started off strong and ended strong.”
SCORES: Carrie Ann: 9 Len: 9 Bruno: 9 TOTAL 27/30
Emmitt Smith and partner Cheryl Burke will dance the Rumba/Samba
Judges comments:
Len: “I wore pink because I thought if you got injured I could take over. Glad I did not, I don’t think I could do as well as that.”
Bruno: “Emmitt, ever ready and always on it. That was a smooth and balanced blend. I loved how you went into it and out of it. You did it with such ease and it was extremely difficult. Wonderful job!.”
Carrie Ann: “I agree with Bruno, what was challenging was the way you went back and forth. What was lacking was your upper body. In middle it got a bit messed up.”
SCORES: Carrie Ann: 8.5 Len: 9.5 Bruno: 9.5 TOTAL 27.5/30
Kirstie Alley and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy will dance the Quickstep/Samba
Judges scores:
Len: “I thought it was a nice mix the Quickstep had go and the Samba was so so, admirable effort, well done!”
Bruno: “Technique apart, whatever you do is always good. That was brilliant, only you can change Cinderella into a stripper. The quick step was good but you lost it in the Samba. Always great to watch you!”
Carrie Ann: “You know what this is hard because you are so pure and so wonderful. But, you lost yourself in that second half of that dance. The Quickstep was nice, but Samba fell apart.”

Kelly Monaco and partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy will dance the Foxtrot/Cha Cha

Bruno: “Oh my darling your booty was working all the time. Nice time you maintained the two dances through out. Your timing was good, your control was good. Great improvement!”
