During the Latin Trio round, each couple will be joined by an eliminated pro or Troupe dancer. The audience will also be joined by members of several branches of the Armed Forces, including two former Marines, William Franco Vasquez and Nick Jones Jr., who will be special guests on an episode of ABC’s hit comedy “The Middle” on November 14.
Tomorrow night’s “Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars the Results Show” will feature outstanding musical performances from Kylie Minogue and Ne-Yo. Global pop icon Minogue will perform “Locomotion” alongside the renowned “DWTS” band, accompanied by pro dancers Kym Johnson and Tristan MacManus.

LATIN ROUND – TRIO DANCE!
Shawn Johnson and partner Derek Hough will be joined by Mark Ballas
Len: “If I was sitting in the audience I would be cheering. I have to judge a Samba – it was very self indulgent, there was very little Samba content. If you go home blame those two.”
Bruno: “Very naughty you three, I got jungle fever. As art it was absolutely fantastic, it had a animal quality. It was not samba.”
Carrie Ann: “I disagree completely, sometimes you have to take a risk. There was not a lot of Samba, but what there was – was executed with perfection. They brought it in 21st century”

Len: “There was not incidence. It had aggression, but it lacked finesse.”
