[This story contains spoilers from episode seven of Dancing With the Stars season 34.]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year — because it’s time to celebrate Halloween in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom!
Marking another beloved themed episode of the competitive dance series, things got spooky Tuesday night as the couples performed dances inspired by the holiday of Halloween. This week, the cast notably had prepared for the dance marathon (aka the “Dance Monster-thon”), which tasks the full cast to hit the stage at the same time as the judges knock them off one by one, until one pair wins.
Nine couples remain in the cast as season 34 beings to dwindle down, including Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, social media star Alix Earle, The Traitors season three winner (and Zac Efron’s brother) Dylan Efron, actresses Danielle Fishel and Elaine Hendrix, conservationist (and son of Steve Irwin) Robert Irwin and comedian-actor Andy Richter.
Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold were eliminated at the end of last week’s Wicked Night, which saw each couple pay homage to the upcoming Wicked: For Good while Jon M. Chu served as a guest judge.
After Halloween Night, four weeks of competition remain. DWTS will crown its 34th winning duo on Nov. 25 in a special three-hour finale. Until then, remaining theme nights include Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the show’s 20th Birthday Party celebration and Prince Night, which falls on the semi-finals.
Joining Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli on the judges panel this week is former professional dancer Cheryl Burke. The two-time mirrorball champion celebrated her return to the ballroom in conversation with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of Tuesday night’s episode, where she promised to be a “constructive and encouraging” judge whose looking to see “authenticity and growth” from the cast.
The couple with the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes is eliminated at the end of each episode. Live voting takes place during the East Coast airing of each show and ends shortly after the final performance is completed.
