ABC Releases Details For Dancing With The Stars Season 17 Week 9
ABC has issued their new press release for next week’s Dancing With The Stars. Note how they say there will just be one elimination again.
“Episode 1709” – Six remaining couples hit the ballroom floor and take on an exciting trio performance, on “Dancing with the Stars,” MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET). The couples will compete in two rounds of dance. In the first round, each couple will take on an individual dance in a style they have not previously performed including the Viennese Waltz, Tango, Charleston, Argentine Tango and Quickstep. In the second round, the couples take on a new challenge and dance with an eliminated pro or troupe member as part of dynamic trio. The trio dance routine will be in a style the celebrity has not yet performed including the Samba, Jive, Salsa, Paso Doble and Jazz. At the end of the night, one couple will face elimination.

hmm… so one couple is leaving, I wonder if they’re just going to do a 4-man finale again and have a double elimination during the semi finals.
The show must end the last week of the month.
I’d say a double elimination in the semis depends heavily on who the 2 low-vote getters are going into the night. If one of TPTB’s pets is 2nd from the bottom in votes, there won’t be a double-elim, unless they come up with a WTA cha-cha or something to guarantee that couple enough extra judges’ points to push them up the leaderboard and out of the bottom 2 before the end of the night.
I’m hoping for a 4 person final vs a double elimination. I hate those. And while it was weird/different to have 4 in finals last time I didn’t really mind it. More dances. More chance of people I like being there til the end.
I hope there is a double elimination and a 3-person final. And I hope this more for the 4th place finisher than anything else. Aly looked so heartbroken last season and she still had to sit through the rest of the live show without benefit of recovery time for shock.
I love the trio portion of DWTS. I wish that Derek would pick someone other than Mark though. I know they are best friends and all but I feel that combo has been done many a time and I wouldn’t mind someone like Henry (who IMHO deserves it for the way he stepped in for practice when Derek was injured). Maybe even use Whitney or another lady so that Derek can show how Amber can keep up with a pro woman.
I am a Bill fan but it would be such a good finale if it were Jack (dark horse), Corbin (raw talen) and Amber (“big and loud” to quote Derek). Plus, I would feel better when Bill leaves if Lean left too…soften the blow, as it were. I can’t stand Leah and all I am hanging onto now is that Bill will at least outlast her!
I would prefer no double elimination. I think it may very well play as Cidra mentions.
I guessing hey want Liz, Corbin and Amber for sure in the finals for various reasons. The fourth spot, if indeed a fourth finalist is in the cards is up for grabs somewhat.
Bill is riding on a tidal wave of love and good cheer, but Jack is silently creeping up on him. Jack is a stealth contestant. I realized it as we were waiting to see if he and Cheryl were going to be eliminated. I struck me like a sledgehammer that I really love this partnership and want them in the finals. Perhaps even more than Bill and Emma, whom I’ve loved since the first show. We’ll see how it plays out.
I don’t want Leah anywhere near the finals. I’ll be grinding my teeth down to little nubs if that happens.
I still don’t really understand why they did a 4 person final last year, did they ever give a reason? Especially if they have no plans to continue doing a 4 person final what was the point of having it as a one off? I guess to see if it would help with ratings at all.
I personally like a 3 person final more and having a double elimination during the semis would be pretty dramatic and good television. I would think they would have to announce the double elimination for the semis during the end of the show next week so we’ll know sooner rather than later.
I think you have to keep in mind that, as the leader in the cumulative score, Derek and Amber were probably LAST to pick their trio partner, which means that Henry would have been already unavailable. Which is probably fine with Derek as he and Mark have been friends forever.
I don’t think there will be a double elimination. there will still be 4 in the final not 5. I read it was moved up a week to 11 weeks instead of the usual 10. cause if it was 10 this Monday is the ninth week and they would have said semi-finals which they didn’t so they will eliminate two more stars to make it a final 4 final like last season.
Is there a list of dances and who is dancing what? Couples and Trios?
