How did we get here? The Dancing with the Stars season 33 finale came too fast! This has been an incredible season with an amazing cast that includes NBA star Dwight Howard, The Bachelor Joey Graziadei, and actress Chandler Kinney. But as much as we love watching the fun dances, the couples bonding during practice, and the themes every week, there’s also a lot of stress that comes with watching the show.

For starters, a couple is eliminated amost every week, and we hate to see our favorites go! Not to mention, it’s also stressful watching the performances because we don’t want the teams to make any mistakes. Finally, one of the things I struggle with the most is picking one team to root for. I can never do it! I always love several. This season, for example, I was rooting Stephen and Rylee, Chandler and Brandon, and Ilona and Alan.

Viewers vented their frustrations about how Dancing With the Stars ended their Season 33 Semi-Finals episode due to what some called a “ridiculous” twist.

The Week 8 competition featured just five couples vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

They included last week’s top two couples: The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei with Jenna Johnson and actress Chandler Kinney with Brandon Armstrong.

Fan-favorite celebrities Ilona Maher, Stephen Nedoroscik, and Danny Amendola also remained hopeful about winning the season.

In Week 7, viewers saw former NBA star Dwight Howard and his dance partner, Daniella Karagach, get eliminated from the show.

However, the latest stage of ABC’s dance competition featured what some DWTS fans called a “stunt” regarding sending one of the couples home.

“Dancing with the Stars” is close to the end of Season 33, but first the remaining couples will have to get through the “Semi-Finals” to earn a spot in the grand finale. Having somehow survived last week’s instant dance challenges, where they had to perform routines mere minutes after learning their music and dance styles, the celebs will now have to perform another two routines, though this time they had the full rehearsals week to prep both dances, so they might be breathing a relative sigh of relief. But the stakes are sky-high with the finale on the line. Scroll down for our live blog with all our minute-by-minute commentary as the night progresses.

With the elimination of NBA basketball star Dwight Howard and his partner Danielle Karagach in last week’s “500th Episode,” there are five couples remaining in contention for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: Super Bowl...

We’re in the home stretch on “Dancing with the Stars” Season 33. There are just two episodes left, starting with tonight’s “Semi-Finals,” where the final five couples will perform two new routines: one in a ballroom dance style, and the other in a Latin dance style. Those dances and the songs the couples will be dancing to are as follows:

“It’s sad to see him go, but also kind of the right time based on who’s left in the competition and what their skill levels are,” argues Gold Derby editor Daniel Montgomery about the elimination of basketball player Dwight Howard from “Dancing with the Stars” at the end of the show’s “500th Episode” celebration. He discussed that ouster and debated who will be next to go with contributors Jeffrey Kare and Cordell Martin in this week’s slugfest. Watch it above.

Martin agrees: “I thought maybe he might have had a chance just based on him having the Argentine tango. I thought maybe that would have been a big crowd-pleaser to keep him safe another week. But just based on everyone stepping up their game this past week,...

The DWTS Season 33 semifinals begin next week. Fans can hardly believe the competition is almost over for the year.

After a rigorous few months and hard work, there are five couples left competing for the highly-coveted Mirrorball Trophy. The competition has been incredibly close so far, so the final five will need to step it up in the rehearsal room if they want to get ahead.

Read on to see which routines Dancing With The Stars fans can expect to see on Tuesday.

“Dancing With the Stars” hit a season viewership high with its 500th episode, TheWrap can reveal exclusively.

As the ABC ballroom dancing competition show celebrated its 500th episode on Tuesday, Nov. 12, “Dancing With the Stars” scored 5.13 million total viewers, according to live-plus-same-day Nielsen figures, marking the show’s biggest audience of the season.

Viewership for Wednesday’s episode also saw a 15% uptick when compared to the previous week, which brought in 4.47 million viewers. For reference, Disney night brought in 4.85 million viewers earlier in the season while the dedication week episode scored a total viewership of 4.4 million.

“Dancing With the Stars” also became Tuesday’s highest rated entertainment program of the night as it scored a 0.71 rating in the key broadcast demo among adults 18-49. The episode boosted ABC’s...

It was Dwight Howard’s last dance on Dancing with the Stars, and viewers seemed delighted about the big man’s elimination.

The 6-foot-10 basketball star became the tallest contestant ever to appear on DWTS, and his professional dance partner, Daniella Karagach, taught him brilliantly.

However, viewers felt five other pairs were more deserving of moving closer to claiming the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Among them were frontrunners, including Chandler Kinney with Brandon Armstrong, Joey Graziadei with Jenna Johnson, and Danny Amendola with Witney Carson.

Many individuals took to social media to express their happiness over the latest elimination as their favorites remained safe for another week of the competition.

Some even mentioned Howard’s legendary basketball teammate in unmerciful and savage remarks about him leaving the show.

During the 500th episode of Dancing With The Stars, fans saw some familiar faces in the ballroom. Former pro Lindsay Arnold cheered on her younger sister Rylee from the audience. Sharna Burgess even took part in the opening number, leaving fans wondering if she might return next season. But recently retired dancer Cheryl Burke didn’t show up.

After all the bad blood between Cheryl and the executive team, few fans felt surprised by her absence. But the dancer revealed she did receive an invitation. She simply didn’t accept it.

See what Cheryl had to say about the situation and why she opted not to come.

Cheryl Burke Cites Reasons For Not Attending The Performance

Since leaving Dancing With The Stars, Cheryl Burke has continuously butted heads with the executive team. She felt angry that they didn’t offer her Len Goodman’s seat after he retired as a judge.

The 500th episode of Dancing With the Stars was such an exciting night as we watched the performers prepare to head into the semi-finals for season 33. But first, we were treated with an choreographed routine set to the song “Crazy In Love” by Beyonce and Jay-Z, which was the song used in the series premiere on June 1, 2005.

Amazingly enough, one of the pro dancers was born days after the series premiere, which was Rylee Arnold. Is anyone else feeling their age right now? But anyway, the night was full of amazing routines and we even got the return of pro dancer Sharna Burgess, who has not been on the show for a few seasons now, but returned to take part in the opening routine.

As expected, one couple was eliminated by the end of the night and placed sixth in the overall tally of this season's competition. Let's recap below.

What Happened in Dancing with the Stars Season 33's 500th Episode?

The night opened with a performance of "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce featuring Jay-Z choreographed by Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach, the same song that also opened the show's very first episode.

Dancing With The Stars just presented its 500th episode and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Viewers enjoyed reflecting on 19 years of DWTS and all the talented contestants featured over the course of 33 seasons.

Former pro dancer Sharna Burgess participated in the opening group number, leaving many fans wondering if she’s returning for Season 34.

But at the end of the night, another couple left the competition. Now there are five couples remaining. Who advanced to the semifinals and who left?

The 500th DWTS Episode Featured A Clear Leader

There have been many exciting routines so far this season, but the 500th episode featured the first perfect score of the year. Disney Channel actress Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong sincerely impressed the judges with their Argentine tango to “Para Te” by Appart, inspired by Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler’s Season 16 performance.

In addition to the individual routines this week, the...

“Dancing With the Stars” hit a new milestone on Nov. 12, and revealed who was heading to the semifinals for Season 33. The 500th episode opened with pros — including returning favorite Sharna Burgess — for the opening number, “Crazy in Love,” the same opening number from the 2005 series premiere. Many past competitors returned to the ballroom, including Adam Rippon, Ginger Zee, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Alyson Hannigan, Aj McLean and Simone Biles.

This week, each of the remaining six teams performed routines honoring fan-favorite performances from the past.

Last week ended with a tie on the leaderboard: Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson had 32 points, as did Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong. So both came ready to fight for that top spot.

Joey and Jenna performed a contemporary routine, inspired by Riker Lynch and Allison Holker’s Season 20 performance. “I thought it lacked a bit of rawness,” Carrie Ann Inaba said after the routine, while Derek Hough replied,...

Well lookee here … we have something to celebrate! It’s the 500th episode of Dancing with the Stars, and popular pro Sharna Burgess has returned to help open up the show with a jaunty number to “Crazy in Love” — the same exact song the troupe danced to when the variety show launched in 2005.

To help mark the milestone, the final six couples have been asked to recreate numbers from DWTS‘ deep past. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that absolutely no one asked to revisit the cha cha performed by Sean Spicer in season 28. Who on earth would want to bring back that neon shirt?

“Dancing with the Stars” celebrated its 500th episode Tuesday night with the remaining six remaining couples “reinterpreting” past memorable dances with new choreography.

Week 8 of Season 33 also saw the first perfect score of the season, earned by Chandler Kinney for her Argentine Tango with Brandon Armstrong. Judge Derek Hough, who first performed the dance in Season 16 with Kellie Pickler, called it “smooth as silk,” gushing, “I preferred this one, even over mine!” Tonioli said Kinney “blended beauty and danger,” while Inaba raved, “You are maybe the most powerful female dancer I have ever seen on this dance floor.”

Kinney earned three more 10s in the Instant Dance round, with a Cha-Cha set to “Apple” by Charli Xcx, a song her partner Armstrong admitted he had never heard before. Inaba exclaimed, “You are owning the dance floor tonight,...

Long-time Dancing With The Stars fans can hardly believe there have been 500 episodes of the spectacular show. More than anything, the cast and crew wanted to put on a memorable performance to commemorate the occasion.

The night featured plenty of great performances and surprises too. Former pro dancer Sharna Burgess even took part in the opening number, possibly leaving the door open to her return next year.

But when the performances were over, who earned the top spot on the leaderboard?

DWTS Season 33 Has Its First Perfect Score Of The Year

The 500th episode featured many memorable moments, including the first perfect score of the season. Disney Channel actress Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong have dominated the leaderboard since the season premiere, so few fans felt surprised to see them earn the first perfect 30/30.

They performed the Argentine tango to “Para Te” by Appart, inspired by Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler’s Season 16 performance.

Although she received an invite, former Dancing With the Stars professional dancer Cheryl Burke revealed she won’t appear at the show’s milestone 500th episode.

The 40-year-old appeared in 25 seasons of the dance competition series and won the Mirrorball Trophy in her first two with singer Drew Lachey and former NFL player Emmitt Smith.

Burke worked with other celebrities, including singer Wayne Newton, game show host Drew Carey, and Good Morning America star Sam Champion.

She officially retired from DWTS after the Season 31 finale and previously revealed she sought a promotion on the show, but she and her team knew it wouldn’t ever happen.

Following that departure, Burke began sharing her thoughts about DWTS on her Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans podcast.

During a recent episode, she shared why she won’t attend the special 500th episode.

DWTS Season 33 Pauses For Election Day

Major events often impede television schedules, and Tuesday, November 5, 2024, is no different. There won’t be a new episode of Season 33 due to the 2024 Presidential Election. DWTS Season 33 also took a break earlier in the season due to the Vice Presidential debate.

“There’s no #DWTS tomorrow, but we’ll see you Tuesday, Nov. 12 for our 500th episode! Can’t wait to be back in the ballroom. ” the official DWTS Instagram account shared last night.

Dancing With the Stars Season 33 has been one of the best seasons in years, so we’re excited to see where the hit competition series goes next.

After Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber were eliminated from the show last week, there was a sense that anyone could go next, and we have bad news if you’re expecting a new episode this evening.

The series is on a short-term hiatus.

Like most other networks, ABC will air election night coverage after voting closes.

This isn’t the first time the series has been put on hold this season, so we’re accustomed to schedule shakeups by this point in the show’s run.

The good news is that we already know when to expect the show to return, with Dancing With the Stars Season 33, Episode 8, set to air on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.

As the series passes its midway point and with only six celebrities left in the competition, fans are waiting to see the next set of dances. But, as today is Election Day, is Dancing with the Stars on tonight, Nov. 5, 2024?

‘Dancing with the Stars’ will waltz onto television screens for a special episode

After 33 seasons, Dancing with the Stars remains a draw for families who enjoy a lighthearted competition series that all members can enjoy.

However, these...

Dancing With the Stars professional dancer Jenna Johnson addressed recent rumors about being pregnant with a second child.

The 30-year-old dancer and choreographer is already a mother of a son with fellow dance pro Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

For DWTS Season 33, she partnered with The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadei, and they’ve been among the top contenders.

They’ve advanced through Week 6, Halloween Night, and are among the show’s final six couples vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Dancing With The Stars is preparing to air its 500th episode. Since 2005, the talented professionals on DWTS have brought entertainment and a love of dance to homes across the globe.

There have been dozens of pros, celebrity contestants, and guest judges who have graced the stage over the past 19 years. As such, production wants to honor the excellent seasons that came before this one.

So what exactly can fans expect for the 500th episode spectacular?

DWTS Season 33 Contestants Pay Homage To The Show’s Best Routines

At the end of Halloween Night, fans said a heartbreaking goodbye to The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber. Many would have loved to see them advance in the competition, but it’s not all bad news. There’s plenty of evidence to suggest the two developed a romantic relationship in the ballroom.

Now, the top six couples are working on their routines for week seven,...

Carrie Ann Inaba’s DWTS scoring has riled up fans.

Even as this season of Dancing With The Stars has captivated viewers, one judge has incensed the audience.

And this isn’t even the first time.

Carrie Ann Inaba is often eager to claim that DWTS critics of her are sexist. But critics say that she’s the one who throws women under the bus but hands out high scores to men like it’s Halloween candy.

On the Tuesday, October 29 episode of Dancing With The Stars, it was Halloween Nightmares Week. Unfortunately, some of the scoring seemed to cause more of a fright than anyone’s dancefloor looks.

One major concern for viewers came when Carrie Ann Inaba, a choreographer who has...

Dancing With The Stars pro Alan Bersten wasn’t at all pleased with the scores he and Ilona Maher received during the Halloween episode.

Each and every couple performed captivating routines that the audience loved. However, Alan doesn’t think the judges gave him and Ilona a fair score.

Read on and see what he had to say.

Alan Bersten Wanted Better For Ilona Maher On Halloween Night

Alan and Ilona scored a 24/30 for their Tango to “Psycho Killer” by Miley Cyrus. While that certainly wasn’t a score to be dismissive of, all the other couples scored at least one 10. Sadly, that meant Alan and Ilona slipped to the bottom of the leaderboard.

However, Alan doesn’t think they deserved the lowest score of the night.

Dwight Howard recently talked about some grueling aspects of Dancing With the Stars, including long practices.

While appearing on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast, Gil’s Arena, he indicated he spent nine hours the other day practicing dances.

“I done lost 15 pounds just dancing,” Howard admitted, adding, “I’m cut up out of lifting weights every day.”

Howard also spoke about his harrowing ordeal during another reality TV competition show.

According to Howard, he experienced “Ptsd” after he participated in Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

The former Los Angeles Lakers star and NBA Champion revealed his time on that show included all sorts of challenging experiences, such as being “kidnapped and set on fire.”

For season 33, week seven of Dancing With the Stars, the celebrities got to dance to “Halloween Nightmares,” and they all put on amazing performances. Not only did they dance their normal routines, but they also got to face off against one other couple to see who did the best dance off.

Many of the celebrities did an amazing job, with Ilona Maher pulling off a fantastic Tango and Dwight Howard moved his pro partner Daniella Karagach to tears after his amazing Contemporary dance.

They had worked hard on their routine, especially since their height difference meant that often times, he struggled with the routines they did each week. However, the dance he did this week was perfectly executed and it was obvious how proud he made his partner. They even received the first 10 of the season.

Who was the surprising elimination on Dancing with the Stars on Halloween Nightmares night?...

Dancing With the Stars‘ “Halloween Nightmares” week has turned into a nightmare for judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who has been slammed by viewers for her “unfair” and “biased” scoring. Tuesday’s (October 29) episode saw the seven remaining couples performing routines revolving around their biggest fears. It was a night of high scoring, as Inaba handed out 10s to Dwight Howard, Danny Amendola, Joey Graziadei, Stephen Nedoroscik, and Jenn Tran (who was eliminated at the end of the episode). However, some fans were upset when Inaba only gave Pretty Little Liars star Chandler Kinney and her pro partner Brandon Armstrong a 9. At the same time, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli gave the performance their first 10s of the season. Kinney and Armstrong had performed a Viennese Waltz to the theme song from Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin. Tonioli praised the performance, saying he was “spellbound” and noting how it “had...

Jenn Tran has been a ray of sunshine throughout her Dancing With the Stars Season 33 journey.

The Bachelorette alum’s time on the show concluded during Tuesday’s episode despite being one of the better performers on the ABC hit.

Unfortunately, there is a higher level of talent than in recent years, which has made it difficult to predict who will be sent packing each week.

In addition, judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli have been called out for not providing consistent feedback this season.

Either way, we went into Tuesday’s new episode knowing anyone could go.

Jenn and pro dancer Sasha Farber performed a contemporary routine to “Vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo as part of the show’s Halloween night.

It was very good, and the judges gave them a score of 28 out of 30, plus three bonus points, for a total score of 31.

As expected, one couple was eliminated by the end of the night and placed seventh in the overall tally of this season's competition. Let's recap below.

Hey, "Dancing With The Stars" fans. Tonight, October 29, 2024, another new results/performances episode for Dancing With The Stars' current season 33 did indeed hit the air, and we saw another unlucky couple get the boot at the end. The theme for tonight's new episode was "Halloween Nightmares." All the judges: Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba and Derek Hough were on hand once again. Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten kicked off tonight's performances with a Tango number. Afterwards, Bruno said, "I could see your hard work, especially on your frame, but you need to refine the footwork." Carrie Ann said, "I'm seeing growth. Everything is a little bit better. You lost balance a couple of times, though." Derek said, "Your footwork needs work." Carrie Ann gave Ilona an 8 score, Derek an 8, Bruno an 8 for a total of 24 points out of a possible 30 points. Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach served up a Contemporary number.

Dancing With The Stars Season 33’s Halloween Night just wrapped up! After a night of fun, spooky routines, there are six couples left in the competition.

Everyone performed remarkably and worked hard to earn top scores and fans’ votes. But for one couple, it was time to leave the ballroom.

Who’s moving on to the next episode and who is out?

DWTS Was Filled With Top Scorers On Halloween Night

When the night began, many felt certain that NBA star Dwight Howard and his partner Daniella Karagach would go home. They’d been at the bottom of the leaderboard for a while now and the season is coming down to the wire.

However, their Contemporary to “Ring Around the Rosie” by District 78 was truly something out of a nightmare. The judges gave them a 28/30 for the routine, including the first 10 of the season.

It reminded many viewers of her...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from the Oct. 29 episode of “Dancing With the Stars.”

For Halloween, the celebrities on “Dancing With the Stars” took on their nightmares, each performing a routine inspired by their biggest fears — from snakes, the boogeyman and killers, to dolls, the dark and vampires. And their biggest fear may have been elimination because everyone brought their A-games.

Daniella Karagach told partner Dwight Howard that he’d yet to complete a full routine without errors — so he did just that for their very creepy contemporary to “Ring Around the Rosie.” After their impressive routine, both competitors were in tears, explaining that they had overcome a tough week.

That was only the first 10 of the night, with Carrie Ann also giving the top score to Danny Amendola and Witney Carson...

Tough night to be a baseball and ballroom fan; when it’s Game 4 of the World Series and your team is one W away from taking the championship, should the Viennese waltz really matter?

Hell yes, it should! Thank goodness for multiple TVs and Freddie Freeman. And much obliged to those ABC censors, who kept us from seeing the Bruno bits in that goofy opening sequence with Derek Hough.

Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher with partner Alan Bersten. The judges want to see more dancing from the effervescent athlete, so Bersten packed their tango with plenty of kicks and spins as they hoofed it to “Psycho Killer.” Something clicked for Maher; she was much more graceful this week. “I can really you see work very very hard, especially on the frame,” said judge Bruno Tonioli. “A lot of content, but you still have to refine the foot work … Much better.

Dancing With The Stars fans look forward to Halloween Night each and every year. It’s the perfect opportunity for the remaining contestants to show off their spooky side and get viewers in the holiday spirit.

Mark Anderson For Golden Bachelor?

The individual routines...

Dancing With the Stars “Disney Night” was full of spectacular performances from the eightt remaining celebrity couples. In addition, they also had team dances that were full of fun and plenty of sparkle to shine through the night. Of course, our least favorite part of the night came when it was time to say goodbye to one couple. It’s getting harder to say goodbye as we reach the end, especially since this season has been filled with so many amazing routines!

With performances to films such as 101 Dalmations, Tarzan, Hercules, The Little Mermaid, and Deadpool, each couple worked hard to get high scores that would reflect the work they have done to make it this far into the competition.
