Official ABC Details Released On Dancing With The Stars Week 7 (Performers, Team Songs, & More)

Justin Bieber and Boyz II Men will be performing on Tuesday night’s results show. They will sing “Fa La La” which is a new track from Justin’s holiday album “Under the Mistletoe” (which you can sample here if you like). Christina Perri will also be performing. Below are some more details released on the show from ABC. Note how Mark Ballas and Chelsie Hightower will return to dance. Derek Hough is joining dancer Alison Holker of “So You Think You Can Dance” for an “exceptional Latin infused choreographed number”. The two team songs the couples will be dancing to on Monday night are Rihanna’s “Disturbia” Disturbia - Now That's What I Call Music, Vol. 29 and Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life.” Bring Me to Life - Fallen More details below. It’s going to be a fun Halloween!

“Episode 1307 & 1307A” — Monday’s “Dancing with the Stars” kicks off live from the ballroom with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the remaining couples as they get ready for their big Halloween night during the special ABC premiere of “Scared Shrekless,” which airs Monday,
October 31 from 7:58-8:30 p.m., ET. Inspired by the hit feature film “Shrek,” viewers will join Shrek (Mike Myers) as he celebrates his favorite holiday, ogre-style. Shreck ditches the standard tricks or treats and challenges fairy-tale characters, including Donkey (Dean Edwards) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), to a scary storytelling contest. Just as the contest is set to begin, they all discover they must spend the night in Lord Farguaad’s haunted castle, and the last one to be scared “Shrekless” will win.

Then, the Halloween Night event continues with an exciting Halloween-themed episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” filled with thrilling performances from the remaining six couples. Each pair will light up the ballroom floor with killer costumes and an electrifying dance to some of Halloween’s favorite spooky tunes. Later in the night they return to the floor when Team Tango’s J.R & Karina, Nancy & Tristan and David & Kym, dancing to Rihanna’s “Disturbia,” battle Team Paso’s Ricki & Derek, Hope & Maksim and Rob & Cheryl, dancing to Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life.” The gripping 90-minute show airs MONDAY, OCTOBER 31 (8:30-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

This week on “Dancing with the Stars the Results Show,” global pop sensation Justin Bieber and the best selling R&B group of all time, Boyz II Men, collaborate for a television premiere performance of “Fa La La,” accompanied by pro dancers Mark Ballas and Chelsie Hightower. “Fa La La” is from Bieber’s Christmas album, “Under the Mistletoe,” available November 1st. Bieber will hit the stage for a second time with a knockout performance of his megahit song, “Never Say Never.” Pro dancer Derek Hough joins “So You Think You Can Dance” dancer Alison Holker for an exceptional Latin infused choreographed number. Additionally, this season’s second “AT&T Spotlight Performance” will truly be an emotional and unique dance performance, accompanied by hot new recording artist Christina Perri singing her smash hit, “Arms.” In the end, the sixth couple eliminated must say goodbye, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET).

In other TV mentions, don’t miss seeing Bruno Tonioli on Jimmy Kimmel Live after the show Monday night. Kym Johnson and David Arquette will also guest on Good Morning America on Thursday, Nov. 3rd.

I'm a fashion and music nut....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together. Derek Hough (one of my favorite dancers) said at a recent Get Healthy event that ‘dancing’ is an outward expression of what is going on inside you. He says that in some ways, everyone dances and it's so true. To TPTB, how about this song for next season's theme song? Robin G Ft. Wilunleashed - A Good Time (Original) // Download High Quality

Dancing With The Stars Season 13 Las Vegas Odds For Oct. 31st

The Las Vegas Odds continue to amaze me. After the controversy surrounding Maks and Hope these last few weeks, the odds makers in Las Vegas surprisingly have Hope ranked at 3rd….though, note, it’s not a strong 3rd place position and David and Rob are tied and neck and neck with her. They have Nancy at a good distance from the pack, but can she continue to prove the Las Vegas Odds wrong again or will she not? I hate to say it, but, I worry all of this controversy with the judges and Maks is going to finally take it’s toll on the two and they will find themselves going home this upcoming Tuesday night unless they have one show stopping, perfect performance. At this point, I can’t see this happening? But, you never know? Here’s to getting back to why we are all here and that is seeing some GOOD DANCING!!

J.R. Martinez 1.25

Ricki Lake 3.75

Hope Solo 21.00

David Arquette 26.00

Robert Kardashian 26.00

Nancy Grace 51.00

Dancing With The Stars Season 13 Las Vegas Odds And The “Dark Horse”

It’s another interesting shakedown for the Las Vegas Odds! Last week, OLBG had Rob in 5th place. Now they have him tied for a third place position with Hope which I’d say sounds about right (never did I think I’d say that at the beginning of this competition). However, they’ve placed Chaz above David this week which I’m not sure is correct? Once again, they are putting Nancy last. Will she prove the odds makers wrong yet again?

J.R. Martinez 1.4

Ricki Lake 2.75

Hope Solo 34

Rob Kardashian 34

Chaz Bono 41

David Arquette 67

Nancy Grace 151

Also, if you haven’t seen this interview yet, Tony gets Carrie Ann to talk of who she thinks is the “dark horse” in this competition. She picks Rob! Up until this past week, I’ve always thought the “dark horse” was Carson, but, now I’m starting to wonder if Carrie Ann is right? 8O (Side Note and off topic: you can also see Maks and Carson Rumba in this video. Too funny!)

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

So, what do you think? Do the odds look correct to you at this time? Who do you think is the “dark horse”?

As always, Pure Dancing With The Stars looks forward to your thoughts!!

Heidi’s Note: Yeah, Rob will be the dark horse if you keep voting with your loins, woman. Giving Rob and JR both 9′s?? Yeah, that’s logical.  Unless something changes, though, Rob and David could very well take two spots in the semi-final, cutting Hope out.  Unless of course they keep making Derek/Ricki fans complacent – then she might get cut out instead.  Anyway, I agree with them on their top 2 spots, and I agree with their bottom spot. We’ll have to wait and see what actually happens. Their record has been worse than mine this season. By a mile. :-)

Each team’s dance will feature music straight from the ’80s. Get ready for the possibility of bright neon colors, supersized shoulder pads and some sky-high perms. We can’t wait! Here’s the inside scoop on next week’s show:

The pros are doing a Madonna medley to “Like a Virgin” and “Like a Prayer.” Sounds, like, totally awesome! There will be a lively Jive to Wham’s, “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” as well as a slick Samba to Gloria Estefan’s “Conga.”

Dancing With The Stars Season 13 Las Vegas Odds For October 17th

What dancing another week makes! Below are the Dancing With The Stars Las Vegas Odds for October 17th from OLBG. Last week, they had Carson at the bottom of the pack. He’s risen a notch now, but, he’s still not where he should be in my opinion. I think he should be at 4th or 5th? It’s interesting how the odds makers had Chynna in 3rd last week and we all know how that turned out. Note also how Chaz has risen in odds on the list and is tied with David and Rob’s odds have lowered. Interesting shake up none the less. What are your thoughts? Do these odds seem correct to you?

J.R. Martinez 1.61

Ricki Lake 2.5

Hope Solo 11

David Arquette 41

Chaz Bono 41

Rob Kardashian 67

Carson Kressley 251

Nancy Grace 301

Dancing With The Stars Season 13 Las Vegas Odds After The Third Dance

I can never figure out how the odds makers in Las Vegas work? Below is OLBG’s odds after the dances this week. I think they probably have the top four right, but, what about the rest? I’m not sure Rob deserves to be as high as he is? Should Carson be last? I don’t think so!! 8O

J.R. Martinez 1.57

Ricki Lake 3.5

Chynna Phillips 7

Hope Solo 13

Robert Kardashian 29

David Arquette 34

Chaz Bono 151

Nancy Grace 251

Carson Kressley 301

Heidi’s Note: OMG they’ve jinxed Ricki!! :-)  And JR. The final will now be Carson, Nancy and Chaz. These butt heads clearly don’t know what they’re doing. I do know I should have put money on JR and Ricki weeks and weeks ago.   Seriously, though, I think they’re closer. I think the probably have the top 4 partially right, although not necessarily in that order and the potential of Carson replacing any one of them is still high.  Depends on what the judges do re: Carson.
