00:04:42Welcome to our 20th birthday party and congratulations to the seven couples who have made it this far.
00:05:03And let's also give a big welcome to our honorary guest judge for the nightly.
00:05:12Hi, Mr. Tom Bergeron.
00:05:14Hi, sweetheart. I am thrilled to be here tonight. It's such a rush.
00:05:19Absolutely. Now, you're here for a special night that began with our spectacular opening number,
00:05:25choreographed by Derek Hough.
00:05:28And featured all six of our original pros, Alec Mazzo, Charlotte Jorgensen, Ashley Delgrosso,
00:05:36Jonathan Roberts, Anna Tislawinska, and Louis Van Ansel.
00:05:41So great to see you all. And we have a number of familiar faces from past seasons in the ballroom tonight. This is great.
00:05:48And later, some other familiar faces will be back on the floor.
00:05:53Now, voting is open.
00:05:55Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on. I know this one by heart.
00:05:59Voting is available right now and is available to the U.S., its territories, and Canada at ABC.com.

00:06:16Remarkable retention right here. That was impressive.
00:06:21Yes, it was. All right, there are two rounds of competition tonight.
00:06:25First, our couples will perform their routines to unforgettable songs from iconic freestyle dances.
00:06:31Then, it's the relay dance round. For the first time ever, our stars will compete without their pros.
00:06:38Instead, they've been paired with former mirror ball champions.
00:06:43Yes. Now, Tom, before you join our judges, what are you hoping to see tonight?
00:06:50Well, look, you're a week away from the semifinals, so I'm looking for the type of dance that induces goosebumps.
00:06:58But since I'm sitting next to Bruno, I'm also trying to avoid a concussion.
00:07:02Yeah, yeah, I can tell. I can already tell this is going to be a lot of fun tonight.
00:07:08Oh, yeah. Well, we'll start this big night of competition with the film and TV actress who, last week, earned her first 10 of the season.
00:07:17It is my friend, Elaine Hendricks, and her partner, Alan Burstyn.
00:07:21The way that you dance is just like a breath of fresh air.
00:07:34Last week, I had a great dance, great scores, and this week, I am full steam ahead.
00:07:39Elaine, it's the 20th year anniversary of Dancing with the Stars.
00:07:43Yeah, I've been coming to the show since it first started with Tom Bergeron, Louis Van Amstel.
00:07:49So I've been a fan for a long time.
00:07:52We're dancing a salsa inspired by Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff's freestyle.
00:07:57He's a real showman.
00:07:58You can see how good their partnership is together.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:01We have such a great connection.
00:08:02Yeah.
00:08:03So our salsa is going to be a fun party.
00:08:04Yeah, let's do it.
00:08:05Ready?
00:08:06Yes.
00:08:07And eight. Wait for me.
00:08:08Mario and Karina have this electric chemistry together, and Alan and I have a really strong bond.
00:08:14Great connection.
00:08:15The salsa is really challenging.
00:08:17Does that make sense?
00:08:18Yeah, it's fast.
00:08:19And we are not holding back on any choreography.
00:08:22Does that hurt you at all?
00:08:23No.
00:08:24We're doing lifts because a little rib injury is not going to stop me.
00:08:28And I plan on going the whole way.
00:08:30By far your best dance.
00:08:32Good job.
00:08:33Dancing the salsa with her partner Alan Burstyn.

00:09:59It takes two to make a thing go right.
00:10:02And boy, did it go right tonight.
00:10:04Good job.
00:10:08Oh, you got a little funk in your step tonight.
00:10:11Great job.
00:10:12All right, Tom, as our honored guest judge,
00:10:15we're gonna start with you.
00:10:16I guess you're coming over here.
00:10:17He doesn't want to sit there.
00:10:19Now, look, Elaine's a friend,
00:10:21but I have to stoically assess your judge, your dance,
00:10:25and I just want to say,
00:10:27that was really good.
00:10:33All right, Bruno.
00:10:34Well, that's how you get the party started.
00:10:37You got him going.
00:10:40I thought we lost him for a moment.
00:10:42Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, shaken,
00:10:45literally very, very bushy there.
00:10:47Oh, yes!
00:10:48But listen, there is a quality of you.
00:10:50It's something very special.
00:10:52Whatever you do, you're like the best champagne.
00:10:54It always goes down a treat.
00:10:57All right.
00:10:58All right, Carrie Ann.
00:10:59Elaine, that was a fantastic way to start this night.
00:11:02You know, I look at you and I just think resilience.
00:11:04Two weeks ago, you couldn't even dance,
00:11:06and here you are, throwing it down,
00:11:08giving us some fly-girl moves, kicking some booty.
00:11:11Well done.
00:11:12Yeah, Derek.
00:11:13Elaine, you are just like a sizzling salsa queen here.
00:11:19I love it.
00:11:20The way we start this show is truly a celebration.
00:11:22And those continuous spins, by the way?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25That is incredible.
00:11:26Truly incredible.
00:11:27I'll just say, we are in the quarterfinals, right?
00:11:31We have two weeks left.
00:11:32So that's all I'm going to say.
00:11:34That's all you're going to say?
00:11:35That's all you're going to say?
00:11:36That's all you're going to say.
00:11:37You have a lot more you have to say.
00:11:38And you guys head on up to the skybox.
00:11:40One of the couples who tied for the middle of last week's leaderboard
00:11:43is on the way.
00:11:44Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson will be out on the floor soon
00:11:48to perform a Foxtrot.
00:11:49Juliet.
00:11:50Thanks, Alfonso.
00:11:51All right, Elaine Allen.
00:11:53There is just two weeks left in this competition.
00:11:56Everybody is making sacrifices to be here.
00:11:58How much would it mean for you to make it to the semifinals?
00:12:01Oh, my God.
00:12:02It would mean everything to me.
00:12:03I'm so grateful to be here for the 20th anniversary
00:12:06of Dancing with the Stars.
00:12:09I know some people didn't think I would make it this far,
00:12:11but I have been just putting my heart and soul into everything,
00:12:14and I don't plan on quitting now.
00:12:18Well, we're going to get your scores when we come back.
00:12:21Wow.
00:12:22Right.
00:12:23I know.
00:12:34Welcome back, and in time for a quick change.
00:12:36Before the break, Elaine and Allen performed a salsa
00:12:39that Carrie-Anne said was a fantastic way to start the night.
00:12:43Let's get their scores.
00:12:46Carrie-Anne Inabe.
00:12:48Nine!
00:12:49Derek Huff.
00:12:51Nine!
00:12:52Tom Bergeron.
00:12:54Nine!
00:12:55Bruno Tom Young.
00:12:57Nine!
00:12:58All right, 36 out of 40 for Elaine and Allen.
00:13:01So far, they'll compete for more judges' points later
00:13:04in the relay dance round.
00:13:05But if you want to see them in the semifinals,
00:13:08you can vote right now.
00:13:09Alfonso.
00:13:10All right.
00:13:11Thanks, Julianne.
00:13:12We're off to a great start.
00:13:13Up next, our wildlife conservationist performs
00:13:16a foxtrot with a special meaning.
00:13:19It's Robert Erwin and his partner, Whitney Carson.
00:13:24We want to do the foxtrot justice.
00:13:26We have to keep this open still.
00:13:28Yep.
00:13:29Yay!
00:13:30Yay!
00:13:31Ella!
00:13:32Oh, my goodness!
00:13:33Oh, my goodness!
00:13:34Wow!
00:13:35How are you?
00:13:36How are you?
00:13:37Look, there's a picture of Mama.
00:13:39That's me!
00:13:40That's her.
00:13:41She won.
00:13:42Yeah.
00:13:43I am so proud of you guys.
00:13:45I never thought I would get to this point.
00:13:47You know how I was supposed to be in Brazil?
00:13:49Yes.
00:13:50Doing the Earthshot Prize.
00:13:51And I told Prince William, sorry, I can't make it.
00:13:53I'm still here.
00:13:54It's so exciting.
00:13:55And I'm just so grateful.
00:13:56So this week we're doing the foxtrot to your freestyle dance to Footprints in the Sand.
00:14:01This performance is so meaningful because my sister originally dedicated it to my dad and his legacy.
00:14:07So there's a lot of weight because I really want it to be our best dance yet, to be honest.
00:14:12How did you go into this dance?
00:14:14What was your mindset?
00:14:15It was just letting the emotion be real.
00:14:18A part of me healed that day.
00:14:20So now I hope that Robert gets that same experience.
00:14:23I am so excited.
00:14:24Let's do this.
00:14:25Let's do this.
00:14:26Apparently we have a special call.
00:14:29I don't know who it is.
00:14:30Let's see.
00:14:31Oh my goodness.
00:14:33How are you?
00:14:34Hey.
00:14:35Oh my God.
00:14:36Robert, how are you doing?
00:14:37How was Rio?
00:14:38Going really well.
00:14:39The finalists this year, we're really going to go on and save the world.
00:14:42We're missing you, Robert.
00:14:43Whilst your twinkle toes are going off elsewhere, I need you down here.
00:14:47Oh.
00:14:48Oh my goodness.
00:14:49Whitney, you need to get him in as much glitter as you can.
00:14:51Listen, I'm trying.
00:14:52Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:53Guys have got a seriously good chance of winning it, so just the best of luck on the show.
00:14:56It means the absolute world.
00:14:58Thank you so much.
00:14:59See you soon.
00:15:00Bye-bye.
00:15:01Thanks, mate.
00:15:05What?
00:15:08I can't believe he just said my name.
00:15:09We are doing this dance for Bindi.
00:15:11And we're doing this dance for Prince William.
00:15:13Oh my goodness.
00:15:14No pressure.
00:15:15So, let's not mess this up.
00:15:16Dancing the Foxtrot with his partner Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin.
00:15:24You walked with me, footprints in the sand, and helped me understand where I'm going.
00:15:45And just when I, I thought I lost my way, you gave me strength to carry on, that's when I heard you say.
00:16:02I promise you, I'm always there.
00:16:03When your heart is filled with sadness and despair.
00:16:04I'll carry you when your feet are flying.
00:16:09When your footniks in the sand.
00:16:10You find my footprints in the sand.
00:16:11I'll carry you when your feet are flying.
00:16:16I'll carry you when your feet are flying.
00:16:18You'll find our footprints in the sand.
00:16:28You'll find my footprints in the sand
00:16:36Robert and Whitney with a foxtrot
00:16:43And an appearance by his sister, Bindi
00:16:58Come on over here guys
00:17:10Bruno, my darling that was so beautiful
00:17:14It was a poetic touching tribute that really touched all of us
00:17:19I mean I could not take my eyes off of you
00:17:23Listen, you've got the royal seal of approval
00:17:27Now you've got America's seal of approval as well
00:17:32Carry in
00:17:34I know we all saw that foot come off the ground
00:17:36But I have to say that sometimes
00:17:38No listen, sometimes there are moments that make us change the way we do things
00:17:43This dance was so powerful, so profound
00:17:45You have come from being a charismatic
00:17:48You were so charismatic that first episode
00:17:50And now you have turned into a beautiful storyteller
00:17:53With your heart open
00:17:55Who cares about lifts? No more lift police
00:17:58It's over now
00:18:00Bravo
00:18:01Bravo
00:18:02Bravo
00:18:03Derek
00:18:04You know I feel so honored to be entangled in the Irwin story
00:18:07Just even a little bit
00:18:09It means the world to me
00:18:10And one thing I loved about your father was that he lived life with so much enthusiasm
00:18:14And you my friend
00:18:16Have
00:18:17Have

00:18:19Generations

00:18:25You are dancing it
00:18:26And you're dancing it beautifully
00:18:27Yep
00:18:28Tom
00:18:29Thanks
00:18:30You know what annoyed me about that dance?
00:18:33I am doing my best not to get choked up tonight
00:18:36And that didn't help
00:18:37Last time we saw each other
00:18:39You were eleven

00:19:06Thank you
00:19:07Robert
00:19:08Can we hold up for one second
00:19:09And can we just go back to the fact that the future king of England zoomed you?
00:19:13Is he texting Robert to 21523 or what?
00:19:17I sure hope so
00:19:18I mean
00:19:19I don't know if you can text him in Britain but mate
00:19:21That was just amazing
00:19:22You know
00:19:23Tonight to me was about this wildlife conservation legacy I represent
00:19:28I mean
00:19:29I didn't know that footage was going to be there at the end but
00:19:32Every time
00:19:34That I step onto that floor
00:19:36I represent
00:19:38My dad
00:19:39His message and what he stood for
00:19:42And I just want to make him proud
00:19:44He's my hero

00:20:0940 out of 40
00:20:11For Robert and Riddhi so far
00:20:14That is the first perfect score of the season
00:20:16That will compete for bonus points later in the relay dance
00:20:20in the Relay Dance Round, but they still want you
00:20:23to vote by text and online at abc.com.
00:20:27Alfonso, we're coming right back live.
00:20:43Welcome back to our 20th birthday party.
00:20:47Next up, the star who, once again, has returned to dance
00:20:50with the help of your votes.
00:20:52It's comedian Andy Richter and his partner, Emma Slater.
00:20:59You're relatable.
00:21:01That's why you're becoming a people's champion.
00:21:04Seven!
00:21:05It's nice to get a nine.
00:21:07And now, I'm going to keep my foot on the gas.
00:21:11So this week, we are going to be dancing a quick step.
00:21:13Oh.
00:21:15I remember in, like, week two, you pointed at a dance.
00:21:18I was like, what is that?
00:21:19I don't want to do that.
00:21:21And you were like, it's a quick step.
00:21:22Well, now's the time.
00:21:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:25We're taking inspiration from the freestyle for Jordan Fisher
00:21:28and Lindsay Arnold.
00:21:30Oh, wow.
00:21:30He is such a performer.
00:21:32Yeah, he's great.
00:21:32He looks like a pro.
00:21:34Yeah, very sharp, very precise.
00:21:36Want to raise that level of performance,
00:21:39and I think that that will come with the confidence
00:21:40of knowing the steps.
00:21:41Okay.
00:21:42No, no, no.
00:21:42Cross in front first.
00:21:44This is an intimidating dance for sure.
00:21:46No, no, no, no, no.
00:21:47Don't take that.
00:21:48Because it's right there in the name.
00:21:50It's quick.
00:21:50Uh-uh-uh.
00:21:51Turn the other way.
00:21:52That, that, that, that, that.
00:21:52Jordan and Lindsay's freestyle.
00:21:54Bomba.
00:21:55It's salesmanship.
00:21:56Oh, it looks good.

00:22:11it's Andy Richter.
00:22:22Have you seen the well-to-do
00:22:25Up on Lenox Avenue
00:22:27On that famous thoroughfare
00:22:30With their noses in the air
00:22:32High hats and narrow collar
00:22:35White spats, $15
00:22:37Spending every dime
00:22:39For a wonderful time
00:22:42If you're blue
00:22:43And you don't know where to go to
00:22:45Why don't you go where fashion sits
00:22:48Putting on the Ritz
00:22:50Spangled gowns upon the bevy
00:22:54Of highbrows down the levee
00:22:56All misfits
00:22:57Putting on the Ritz
00:23:00And that's where each
00:23:03And every lulubale goes
00:23:06Every Tuesday evening
00:23:08With her swell boat
00:23:10Rubbing elbows
00:23:12Come with me
00:23:13And we'll attend their jubilee
00:23:14See them spin their last two bits
00:23:17Putting on the Ritz
00:23:22Andy and Emma
00:23:31Putting on the Ritz
00:23:33With their quick step
00:23:35Yeah
00:23:36People's princess
00:23:41Carrie Ann
00:23:43There is no greater honor
00:23:47Or privilege

00:24:44Season 2
00:24:45A result show
00:24:46I did a quick step
00:24:47And Len Goodman said to me
00:24:48It was better suited
00:24:49For America's funniest videos
00:24:51He would have loved yours

00:26:34To Remember the Stars We've Lost
00:26:36We're live
00:26:37And we're coming right back
00:26:38Welcome back
00:26:51As we celebrate
00:26:52This 20th birthday party
00:26:54Let's remember
00:26:55The members
00:26:55Of our ballroom family
00:26:57Who are no longer
00:26:58With us
00:26:58They will live forever
00:27:00In our hearts
00:27:01That Arizona sky
00:27:05Burning
00:27:08In your eyes
00:27:10You look at me
00:27:14Babe, I wanna catch on fire
00:27:16So when I'm all choked up
00:27:21But I can't find the words
00:27:24Every time we say goodbye
00:27:29Baby, it hurts
00:27:32When the sun goes down
00:27:37And the wind won't play
00:27:40And the wind won't play
00:27:40I'll always remember us this way
00:27:46It's when I'm all choked up
00:27:50And I can't find the words
00:27:54Every time we say goodbye
00:27:56Every time we say goodbye
00:27:57Every time we say goodbye
00:27:58Baby, it hurts
00:28:01When the sun goes down
00:28:06And the band won't play
00:28:10I'll always remember us this way
00:28:18Ezra and Riley with a beautiful tribute to those who brought so much joy to the ballroom
00:28:39And that was the perfect way to remember them
00:28:41Absolutely
00:28:42All right, we'll get back into our first round with our reality TV star and content creator
00:28:47It's Dylan Efron and his partner, Daniella Karagach
00:28:51Overall, a little bit more energy, but that was fantastic
00:29:02Eight
00:29:03Nine
00:29:04Thank you for playing the play
00:29:05The scores really reflect how I felt inside
00:29:07It was all over the place
00:29:08Messed up a little bit
00:29:09Hopefully this week it all comes together
00:29:11Okay, so this week we're dancing an Argentine tango
00:29:15Inspired by Whitney and Milo's freestyle
00:29:18I feel like Milo was one of the best performers
00:29:21Because he's so engaged into whatever he's doing
00:29:25But he's performing, he's acting
00:29:27It's going to be a good chance for you to like show the character of the dance
00:29:30Boom, boom, boom, attack
00:29:32Milo just looks like a dancer, which is really impressive
00:29:35He owns that stage, but he is an actor, I'm not
00:29:38Be a little bit stronger
00:29:39I know I am getting better at being in character
00:29:43Dramatic
00:29:43We've been working so hard each week
00:29:45And it feels like a breakthrough is imminent
00:29:48Like we're right there
00:29:49He was moving the whole time
00:29:51And I'm excited to see if we can do it this week
00:29:53He's a dancer
00:29:54Dancing the Argentine tango
00:29:59With his partner Daniela Karagoc
00:30:01It's Dylan Efron
00:30:02Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
00:30:10It's not warm when she's away
00:30:15Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
00:30:22And she's always gone too long
00:30:25Anytime she goes away
00:30:28I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
00:30:32I've been working I know this time
00:30:33I wonder what she's gone
00:30:33Where she's gone
00:30:35I wonder if she's gonna stay
00:30:41There's no sunshine when she's gone
00:30:47In this house that they don't want
00:30:50Anytime she goes away
00:30:54I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
00:30:59And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
00:31:03Oh, I'll leave your thing alone
00:31:06Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
00:31:10Yeah! Dylan and Daniela with an Argentine tangle
00:31:22to Ain't No Sunshine!
00:31:25Wow!
00:31:26Now that was sharp!
00:31:29Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:31:33You tired? You can't be tired
00:31:37They got some good stuff to tell you
00:31:39Derek
00:31:40Dylan, Dylan, Dylan
00:31:45As the great Len Goodman would say
00:31:49Hold my gaze
00:31:50That was your breakthrough moment by a long shot
00:31:56When people ask me who I'm surprised about
00:32:01I say, Dylan, what your improvement has been astonishing
00:32:06The lifts were effortless
00:32:07That routine was insane, Daniela
00:32:11Well done
00:32:12Well done
00:32:13Tom
00:32:13I gotta tell you
00:32:15Anybody watching this show
00:32:17For the very first time would go
00:32:19Why are two pros dancing?
00:32:20I don't get that
00:32:21And let me tell you
00:32:23Let me tell you
00:32:24I know your brother's the actor
00:32:25You're a leading man
00:32:26Hey!
00:32:26Oh, yeah
00:32:28Oh, yeah
00:32:28Oh, yeah
00:32:29Bruno
00:32:30Dylan, the Argentinean idol
00:32:33Excuse me, Mr. Rudolph Valentino
00:32:36You were not dancing tonight
00:32:38You were starring
00:32:39There is a big difference
00:32:41About that's what I always say
00:32:44Is not what you do
00:32:45Is the way that you do it
00:32:48And you did it rightly
00:32:49Perfectly
00:32:51What's up?
00:32:52What's up?
00:32:53Kerri-Ann
00:32:56Your journey has been outstanding
00:32:59And there has always been
00:33:01Gilles Marini, I have to point you out
00:33:02Because up until tonight
00:33:05The man who held the crown
00:33:06For the Argentine tango for me
00:33:08The best performance was Gilles Marini
00:33:10Tonight, my friend
00:33:12It now goes to you
00:33:15With all my love, Gilles
00:33:17Head on up to the skybox
00:33:20Right now, you can see Jordan Childs
00:33:22And Ezra Sosa getting ready
00:33:23For their dance live on TikTok
00:33:25At Official DWTS
00:33:27Brandon and Britt are bringing you
00:33:29All the behind-the-scenes action tonight
00:33:31Julianne
00:33:32Thanks Albonzo
00:33:34Dylan and Daniela
00:33:36By the way, I saw that cheeky little smile
00:33:38That you guys both shared
00:33:39After you nailed that lift
00:33:40I saw it
00:33:41All right, so now the relay dance
00:33:43Is coming up
00:33:44You are going to be dancing
00:33:45With not your partner
00:33:47But another champion
00:33:48How are you feeling about that?
00:33:49I'm really excited because
00:33:51A lot of people don't see
00:33:53A male celebrity leading
00:33:54A lot of the time
00:33:55Because they have a female pro
00:33:57But this time around
00:33:58If you guys see how Dylan
00:34:00Leads his partner right now
00:34:01It's so impressive
00:34:02I wanted to cry when I watched him
00:34:04All right, well we're going to see that
00:34:06Coming up
00:34:07But first, let's get your scores
00:34:08When we come back
00:34:10Welcome back
00:34:23Before the break
00:34:24Dylan and Daniela
00:34:25Performed an Argentine tango
00:34:27That Derek said
00:34:27Was his breakthrough moment
00:34:29Let's get their scores
00:34:31Carianne Inabe
00:34:3410
00:34:35Derek Huff
00:34:3810
00:34:38Tom Bergeron
00:34:41What he said
00:34:42Bruno Tom Young
00:34:44He said 10
00:34:4540 out of 40 for Dylan and Daniela
00:34:50So far we got the confetti
00:34:52That is a perfect score
00:34:53How are you feeling, Dylan?
00:34:55I'm so proud
00:34:56That's the first time I feel
00:34:58Really proud after
00:34:59Absolutely, we should feel proud
00:35:01Well, even though
00:35:02They will compete again
00:35:03For more points
00:35:04In the relay dance round
00:35:05You don't have to wait
00:35:07To send them to the semifinals
00:35:08You can vote by text
00:35:09And online
00:35:10Right now
00:35:11Alfonso
00:35:12Ah, thanks, Julianne
00:35:13I love that
00:35:14I love that
00:35:14Next up
00:35:15The Olympic gold medalist
00:35:17Whose energetic
00:35:17Tina Turner-inspired routine
00:35:19Landing her just one point
00:35:21Behind the leaders
00:35:21Is Jordan Childs
00:35:23And her partner
00:35:23Ezra Sosa
00:35:25Jordan, you take the risk
00:35:29And this one delivered
00:35:30Yes
00:35:31I'm so proud of you
00:35:33And it's so good
00:35:34I was so happy
00:35:35That I got two nines
00:35:36And two tens
00:35:37But we only have
00:35:38Three more weeks left
00:35:39And this is grind time
00:35:40Happy birthday
00:35:41Happy birthday
00:35:43Growing up
00:35:45Watching Dancing with the Stars
00:35:47I used to recreate
00:35:48A lot of the different moves
00:35:50So I'm really excited
00:35:51For this week
00:35:52We will be doing
00:35:54A cha-cha-cha
00:35:55To Sierra's getup
00:35:56Inspired by
00:35:57Wayne Brady's freestyle
00:35:59From season 31
00:36:00Period
00:36:01He's got style
00:36:02He's got finesse
00:36:03That's exactly
00:36:04What our cha-cha needs
00:36:05A little all out
00:36:07Yes
00:36:07Wayne Brady brought that
00:36:09Spicy hot energy
00:36:10And that is so great
00:36:12Because that is another
00:36:13You know, side of me
00:36:14That I really want to
00:36:15Dive deeper into
00:36:16We're getting spicy
00:36:17When I was younger
00:36:18I told myself
00:36:19If I had to learn
00:36:20Any dance
00:36:21On Dancing with the Stars
00:36:22I hoped
00:36:23It would be the cha-cha
00:36:23Because as gymnasts
00:36:25We like to be very up
00:36:26And joyful
00:36:26So
00:36:27I want to kill this cha-cha
00:36:29So bad
00:36:30Please, please, please
00:36:31Do us justice
00:36:32Okay, show off
00:36:33Dancing the cha-cha
00:36:38With her partner
00:36:39Ezra Sosa
00:36:40It's Jordan Childs
00:36:41He said
00:36:53Hi, my name is so-and-so
00:36:55Baby, can you tell me those
00:36:57You look like you came to do
00:36:59One thing said it all
00:37:01I started on the left
00:37:03Then I had to take him to the right
00:37:05He was out of breath
00:37:07But he kept on dancing all night
00:37:09You tried
00:37:10And did it
00:37:11But you just kept on
00:37:12Dealing inside
00:37:13You know it
00:37:15And I can see it
00:37:16In your eyes
00:37:18You will be
00:37:19As smooth as a mother
00:37:20You're so undercover
00:37:22By the way that you was watching me
00:37:25I've got to have you, baby
00:37:29I've got to have you, baby
00:37:33I can feel it in the beat
00:37:36Do those things to me
00:37:38Don't let nothing stop you
00:37:40Somebody bring me along
00:37:45The club is jumping now
00:37:47So get up
00:37:48Oh yeah, Jordan and Ezra
00:37:54With a cha-cha to get up
00:37:56Oh, they were jamming
00:37:59Now that was fun
00:38:03Oh yeah, you wanted to do that cha-cha
00:38:06All right, Tom, take it away
00:38:08Can I just ask
00:38:10If maintenance is listening
00:38:11Could you turn up the air conditioning
00:38:13It got really hot in here
00:38:15Hey
00:38:16All right, Bruno
00:38:18Oh, what's going on
00:38:21You bad, bad, bad girl
00:38:22Does your mama know you're doing this?
00:38:24Oh my
00:38:25Excuse me
00:38:26It looks better when she does it
00:38:28You definitely brought sexy
00:38:30Back into the cha-cha-cha
00:38:32All right, Carrie Ann
00:38:37Okay, strong dance
00:38:39A little bit wild at times
00:38:43And the one note I want to tell you
00:38:44Is your shoulders are coming up
00:38:46When you're turning
00:38:46And it happened numerous times in this
00:38:49So I really want you to work on that
00:38:50Because you have been outstanding
00:38:52And your growth and your power
00:38:53And I love it
00:38:54And I want you to continue this way
00:38:55All right, Derek, lock in your score
00:38:57You know what
00:38:59It's a celebration tonight
00:39:00I want to say and point something out
00:39:02In the rumba a couple weeks ago
00:39:04You did something
00:39:04You had quality in your body
00:39:05Tonight you did an overturn
00:39:07You settled your weight
00:39:08You had texture in your body
00:39:09You had resistance in your body
00:39:10It's those small things
00:39:11That I see as a dancer
00:39:12I have to close my eyes
00:39:13Because I'm visualizing it
00:39:14It's what I appreciate
00:39:16All right
00:39:17You see the flips like last week
00:39:18All these things
00:39:19I think it's amazing
00:39:20I love that stuff
00:39:20But you know what I love even more
00:39:21I love the texture in the body
00:39:23And I saw that tonight
00:39:25Jordan, give it to me

00:42:29You're good enough
00:42:29Part of me always

00:48:40A part of that
00:48:40It's pretty cool
00:48:41It's so cool
00:48:41I've done the show
00:48:42Now for 18 years
00:48:43I've just learned so much
00:48:44Being a teacher
00:48:45And a friend
00:48:46And a coach
00:48:4720 years ago
00:48:47That's why I would have
00:48:48Been in 6th grade
00:48:48On the monkey bars
00:48:49Being a pest
00:48:50Being a pest
00:48:51Nothing's changed
00:48:53So this week
00:48:54We are dancing
00:48:54An Argentine tango
00:48:56Inspired by Gabby and Val's
00:48:57Reestyle from season 31
00:48:59She shows like
00:49:00So much passion
00:49:01In this dance
00:49:01It'll be nice to see
00:49:02Passion, seduction,
00:49:04Intensity from you
00:49:05We've not seen that yet
00:49:06Can you hold it?
00:49:07Whoa!
00:49:07I need to find that passion
00:49:09That Gabby had
00:49:10Come on
00:49:10Eh
00:49:11I
00:49:11The really fast kicks
00:49:13And flicks
00:49:14I can't figure it out
00:49:15I feel like this is
00:49:16Harder than the samba
00:49:17Yeah
00:49:17I have to lock in
00:49:19Almost
00:49:19And give the performance
00:49:20Of a lifetime
00:49:21Woo!
00:49:22Did you feel that?
00:49:23That was fun
00:49:24Dancing the Argentine tango
00:49:28With her partner
00:49:29Mark Ballas
00:49:30It's Whitney Levitt
00:49:31Huh

00:49:58He only had himself to blame
00:50:01If you'd have been there
00:50:04If you'd have seen it
00:50:05I betcha you would have done the same
00:50:09I met Ezekiel Young
00:50:14From Salt Lake City
00:50:15About two years ago
00:50:16And he told me he was single
00:50:18Single my ass
00:50:20He had six wives
00:50:22One of those Mormons, you know
00:50:24Some guys just can't hold their arsenic
00:50:28He had it coming
00:50:30He had it coming
00:50:30He had it coming
00:50:32He only had himself to blame
00:50:36If you'd have been there
00:50:37If you'd have seen it
00:50:39I betcha you would have done the same
00:50:43Whitney and Mark
00:50:45Whitney and Mark with an Argentine tango
00:50:52Yes, Team Chicago in the place to be
00:50:57Oh yeah

00:51:15Because whatever it is, I'm gonna be your biggest fan.
00:51:17I'm gonna follow you wherever you go.
00:51:19That was such an incredibly passionate and precise dance.
00:51:25The way you stuck that foot, thank you, girl.
00:51:27You were sticking that landing, and you nailed it!
00:51:29Nailed it! Good job.
00:51:31All right, Derek.
00:51:32I mean, it was just dripping in elegance and control.
00:51:36I mean, it was smooth, silky, precise.
00:51:39The cicadas, right?
00:51:41It was just the displacement of the legs and the feet.
00:51:43The gonchos, the hooks.
00:51:45It was so filled with the artistry.
00:51:48The musicality.
00:51:50The theatrics.
00:51:52It had it all.
00:51:54All right, Tom.
00:51:56I have to tell you, I was so swept away,
00:51:59Derek had to go, enter your score, Tom.
00:52:01Yes!
00:52:02I do want to say, the host part of my brain,
00:52:05you got immunity.
00:52:07That's the good news.
00:52:08But the bad news is, you're not dancing again.
00:52:10So, out of sight, out of mind, right?
00:52:12You want, you're still in the competition.
00:52:14You know what I mean?
00:52:15It's like, still vote for them.
00:52:18Yes, left them on a high.
00:52:20Leaving them on a high.
00:52:21Bruno.
00:52:22I knew you were a ruthless killer.
00:52:25Razor-sharp focus.
00:52:28Driven by passion.
00:52:30Now, your leg work and what you did today
00:52:32really is worthy of such a risk.
00:52:35Especially from the drop to the leg to the split.
00:52:37Excuse me, honey.
00:52:39Don't burn up.
00:52:40Best dancer tonight in my eyes.
00:52:44All right.
00:52:45Thanks for that.
00:52:46Head on up to the skybox.
00:52:48If you want an exclusive live sneak peek at the stars
00:52:51in tonight's first relay dance matchup,
00:52:54head to TikTok at official DWTS.
00:52:57Brandon and Britt have the couples and all of the inside secrets.
00:53:03Yeah, Julianne.
00:53:05Ooh, I love juicy, juicy secrets.
00:53:08And speaking of secrets, I love that Mormon part of the dance.
00:53:11It was so perfect.
00:53:12We had to have it.
00:53:13Oh, yes, it did.
00:53:14Okay.
00:53:15You know what?
00:53:16Tom is right.
00:53:17You actually are going to be skipping the relay dance.
00:53:19What do you feel about that?
00:53:20I'm not going to lie.
00:53:21I have major FOMO.
00:53:22Major FOMO.
00:53:23This whole week.
00:53:24But I'm going to be on the sidelines rooting them on.
00:53:27Yeah.
00:53:28All right.
00:53:29Well, you know what?
00:53:30Let's just get your scores.
00:53:31Carianne Inabe.
00:53:33Yeah.
00:53:34To ten.
00:53:35Derek Huff.
00:53:36To the ten!
00:53:38Tom Bergeron.
00:53:40We're going to get hit with confetti again.
00:53:42It's a ten!
00:53:44Bruno Toglioni.
00:53:45Yeah, she's a ten!
00:53:47Yeah!
00:53:4840 out of 40 for Whitney and Mark.
00:53:51Your perfect score!
00:53:52It's the first one.
00:53:53Since they won immunity last week,
00:53:55they won't have to compete in tonight's relay dances.
00:53:58They'll also win two bonus points from the judges.
00:54:00However, it doesn't mean they are immune from tonight's elimination.
00:54:03They are still just as likely to go home as any of our stars.
00:54:07They definitely need your votes to dance in the semifinals.
00:54:09Alfonso.
00:54:10All right.
00:54:11Thanks, Julianne.
00:54:12The stars are getting ready to dance without their pros.
00:54:15And for the first time ever with returning champions.
00:54:18The relay dances are next.
00:54:20Now, let's get the inside perspective of the people who have been watching all of the dances since day one.
00:54:27Our judges.
00:54:29I remember the very first day when I walked onto set with Len and Bruno.
00:54:34It felt like something a little magical is happening here.
00:54:39When I first met Len, it's like meeting a brother.
00:54:42Bruno, he's such a star.
00:54:44I want to dance with you.
00:54:46Carrie Ann.
00:54:47He just was love at first sight.
00:54:48You're a sexy guy.
00:54:49Yes, focus.
00:54:50I'm trying.
00:54:51She always judged from her heart.
00:54:54And I always loved that about her.
00:54:56I'm Derek Cuff, and I'm deadly when I hit that dance floor.
00:54:59Being a pro dancer on the show for so many years, facing the judges, then to being a judge,
00:55:05it's a really special experience.
00:55:08It was like going from teaching somebody for six hours a day to teaching somebody within 10 seconds.
00:55:14Start from the bottom.
00:55:15Keep those turned out.
00:55:16Well done.
00:55:17I'm getting it!
00:55:18I'm doing it!
00:55:19Derek and Bruno have the realest bromance I've ever seen.
00:55:22Oh, my goodness!
00:55:23You've got us both!
00:55:24My first impression of Carrie Ann was like, yo, can this woman stay in her seat?
00:55:27Yeah!
00:55:28I have fallen out of my chair twice.
00:55:30Oh, no!
00:55:31Oh!
00:55:32Oh!
00:55:33Why are you looking?
00:55:36Did I do three?
00:55:37Hold on!
00:55:38Oh, look at that!
00:55:39I'm ready!
00:55:40Okay!
00:55:4130 seconds, everybody!
00:55:44To be a good judge on a TV show, you have to be entertaining.
00:55:47You married a murderer!
00:55:49You have to make valid points.
00:55:51Watch the frame.
00:55:52You have to communicate.
00:55:54Just be aware of your whole body.
00:55:56What people might not know is that we have to lock in our scores from the moment they finish
00:56:00their dance to they get to Alfonso.
00:56:03There's applause, applause, applause.
00:56:04Two seconds.
00:56:05About three to five seconds when they walk over.
00:56:07And then we've got to score and we've got to deliver our commentary.
00:56:11We work as a team and also individually.
00:56:14So if Derek's already said, like, the positive parts...
00:56:17The shaping!
00:56:18You hit this thing and you kind of went, wah!
00:56:19And I know that there's something that they still need to work on.
00:56:22There were a few stumbles with your foot.
00:56:24I'm gonna point it out.
00:56:25Well, none of this would have been possible without Len.
00:56:30I've known Len since I was 15 years old.
00:56:33I think Baldwin's gonna really suit you.
00:56:35So, to sit in his seat, because it will forever be his seat, it's an honor.
00:56:40His presence will always be a part of Dancing with the Stars.
00:56:44May continue.
00:56:46I mean, he's...
00:56:48amazing.
00:56:50Welcome back!
00:57:06Before we start the second round, let's take a look at the leaderboard with Whitney and Mark's two bonus points added in.
00:57:13Currently at the top are Whitney and Mark with 42, and at the bottom are Andy and Emma with 29.
00:57:20Now, Whitney and Mark won't compete in this round, but they still need your votes.
00:57:24The relay dance round could shake things up.
00:57:27This is the last chance for our couples to get into next week's semifinals.
00:57:32They've been divided into three relay groups.
00:57:35The winner of each group will be awarded two bonus points.
00:57:38For the first time ever, the stars won't be dancing with their pros.
00:57:42Instead, they've been paired with past mirrorball champions.
00:57:45Up first, it's Jordan and Ezra versus Elaine and Alan.
00:57:50And replacing those pros are the champions of season four and season 24, Olympic gold medalist, Apollo Anton Ono, and NFL running back, Rashad Jennings.
00:58:05Let's see how our first two couples and their champions trained for this round.
00:58:13For the relay, you're actually not dancing with me.
00:58:15What?
00:58:16It's gonna be a little weird, but I'm very excited.
00:58:19Okay, so, like, who's our partner?
00:58:21Oh, my God!
00:58:22I'm so giddy right now.
00:58:23Team USA!
00:58:24Team USA!
00:58:25It's pretty cool that I have a, you know, a former Olympian and former mirrorball winner.
00:58:29This is, like, a good speed skating position.
00:58:31That low?
00:58:32And in dance, you want to be tall?
00:58:33I wonder who it is.
00:58:34Yeah!
00:58:35Rashad Jennings!
00:58:36We're here!
00:58:37Rashad runs a 4.59 40-yard dash, so he's quick.
00:58:42It's been a while, but, hey, you know, we get these shoulders back.
00:58:45I'll give you a nice frame to get in.
00:58:47I haven't danced in 13 years.
00:58:49Are you ready to know your style and song?
00:58:54Quick step to I Get a Kick Out of You by Michael Buble.
00:58:58Are you ready to get that stamina up?
00:59:00We have no choice.
00:59:01You did the quick step.
00:59:02We got tens.
00:59:03Oh, yeah!
00:59:04Jordan Childs and Apollo Anton Ono.
00:59:07Two Olympians.
00:59:08That's some talent.
00:59:09Elaine Hendricks and Rashad Jennings.
00:59:13Oh!
00:59:14Actress-athlete against two athletes.
00:59:16We got to turn it up.
00:59:17Did you bring your jockstrap?
00:59:18I got two of them in case, you know, I messed up one.
00:59:20You got one for me.
00:59:21You got one for me.
00:59:22When you go into frame, you're going to think of pulling your elbow back.
00:59:24Jordan is a technician.
00:59:26And step, and step.
00:59:28But our advantage is how we can fill the room with our joy.
00:59:31If it's not me dancing, I'm glad it's Rashad.
00:59:34This is weird.
00:59:35I'm not doing anything.
00:59:36The most challenging part...
00:59:37Oh, shoot.
00:59:38Is someone shorter than I'm used to?
00:59:40I can give you some of my inches, honestly.
00:59:42That would be amazing.
00:59:43You're a big guy, so you're going to have to bend those knees a little bit.
00:59:45And, ah!
00:59:46I'm very rusty.
00:59:47But getting these two points, this is critical for her.
00:59:50So, there's a lot of pressure here.
00:59:52You're getting flashbacks?
00:59:53Miss Elaine, Elaine, Elaine.
00:59:54May the quickest quick step win.
00:59:56Pivot.
00:59:57Perfect.
00:59:58Last time I was in frame, I was in somebody's picture.
01:00:00It's a lot of pressure on me, but I'm going to get it, and we're going to get those two points.
01:00:04Great partner.
01:00:05I have had some big highs and some big lows, which makes me all the more determined to see it to the semi-finals.
01:00:11It was fast.
01:00:12Yeah.
01:00:13I want to quick step my way into the semi-finals so bad.
01:00:16Chasse y slay.
01:00:17We got to take it all in the ballroom and leave it there.
01:00:20Dancing the quick step relay.
01:00:24It's Jordan Childs and Apollo Anton Ono versus Elaine Hendricks and Rashad Jennings.
01:00:30I get no kick from champagne.
01:00:43Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
01:00:47Oh, tell me why should it be true that I get a kick out of you.
01:00:59I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me.
01:01:09I get a kick though it's clear to see you obviously.
01:01:15Do not adore me.
01:01:19I get no kick in a plane.
01:01:24Flying too high with some girl in the sky is my idea of nothing to do.
01:01:33But I get a kick out of you.
01:01:49I get a kick out of you.
01:02:03Jordan and Apollo and Elaine and Rashad with a quick step relay.
01:02:08All right, let's bring in the pros.
01:02:10Come on, y'all.
01:02:11Great job.
01:02:12Great job, y'all.
01:02:13All right, Derek, you up first.
01:02:15Well, first of all, Ezra and Alan, y'all better look out.
01:02:18They're coming for your jobs right now.
01:02:20Apollo, how long has it been?
01:02:22Dude, that was incredible.
01:02:23That was incredible.
01:02:24Wow.
01:02:25Rashad, amazing.
01:02:27Jordan, your guys' was like elegant.
01:02:29It was classy.
01:02:30The control, the quality of that quick step was so impressive.
01:02:34Elaine, the bounciness, the brightness, the fun.
01:02:37Fantastic, both of you.
01:02:38This is very hard.
01:02:39Well done.
01:02:40Yeah.
01:02:41Tom.
01:02:42Well, you know, look.
01:02:43It's an interesting thing in these relays.
01:02:45If the couples are kind of equally matched,
01:02:47and we had athleticism and elegance,
01:02:50and it's like a Reese's peanut butter.
01:02:52Are they sponsors?
01:02:53Just all kinds of fun.
01:02:56Nice job, everybody.
01:02:57All right, Bruno.
01:02:58I know, he's great.
01:02:59He's like, you know, diamond and pearls.
01:03:01Glamour, panache, dexterous footwork.
01:03:04Wonderful, wonderful movement.
01:03:06You'll have to wait and see.
01:03:08Okay, Carrie Ann.
01:03:10Just bravo to the returning champs,
01:03:12because not only did you have to remember how to dance,
01:03:14you also had to lead again.
01:03:16Very impressive.
01:03:17Both of you have not lost a step.
01:03:19Very entertaining.
01:03:20Very smooth as silk.
01:03:21Oh, I don't know what we're gonna do.
01:03:23Okay.
01:03:24All right, you guys head on up to the sky box with Julianne.
01:03:28The six couples who survived tonight's elimination
01:03:31will compete next Tuesday night in the semifinals,
01:03:34where we'll be celebrating the music of Grammy and Oscar winner Prince.
01:03:38That's right.
01:03:39And all of the routines will be performed
01:03:41to his incredible catalog of songs.
01:03:44Julianne, they're almost there.
01:03:45Ooh, it's going to be an amazing night of music, Albonzo.
01:03:48I cannot wait.
01:03:50All right.
01:03:51Jordan, let's just start with you.
01:03:53How much fun was it to partner with my first champion, Apollo?
01:03:58I do have to say he is pretty sweet.
01:04:01But I definitely thank you, Julianne, for allowing me to take him.
01:04:04I do feel territorial.
01:04:06All right.
01:04:07Now, Elaine, Rashad got a 10 in his quick step the first time.
01:04:11So how did that go into it?
01:04:13Did you have confidence?
01:04:14I have confidence with him.
01:04:16That's right.
01:04:17All right.
01:04:18Well, Derek, which couple gets the judges' bonus points?
01:04:22The winner of the relay dance is Jordan and Apollo.
01:04:29So that means that Jordan and Ezra
01:04:32will have two bonus points added to their total for the night.
01:04:36What does that mean to you, Jordan?
01:04:37It means everything.
01:04:38And honestly, thank you guys so much.
01:04:40This was an honor.
01:04:41So Team USA, baby!
01:04:43All right.
01:04:44Well, you at home still have to vote to send you a chance
01:04:46to next week's semifinals.
01:04:48Alfonso.
01:04:49All right.
01:04:50Thanks, Julianne.
01:04:51Next up in the relay dance round, Dylan and Daniela versus Andy and Emma
01:04:56will reveal their champion partners when we come back live.
01:04:59Oh, the competition is fierce tonight.
01:05:14We've already seen one exciting relay dance.
01:05:16Let's welcome the couples in this next matchup.
01:05:19Dylan and Daniela versus Andy and Emma.
01:05:24And replacing those pros are the champions of Season 20 and Season 29,
01:05:30actor and singer, Rumor Willis, and The Bachelorette star, Caitlin Verstu.
01:05:35Here's how they trained.
01:05:36You've got to be on your best behavior because the first time you're dancing with somebody
01:05:47else.
01:05:48You're the one that's leaving me with a sitter.
01:05:50I'm Andy.
01:05:51It's a little intimidating.
01:05:52You know, somebody that won a mirror ball.
01:05:53How long has it been since your season?
01:05:54That was five years ago.
01:05:55Have you danced since?
01:05:56No.
01:05:57Hello.
01:05:58This is going to be epic.
01:05:59I love Rumor.
01:06:00You're friends with my brother.
01:06:01Yeah.
01:06:02I feel like I have a head start.
01:06:03When did you do this show?
01:06:04Ten years ago.
01:06:05We are dancing a Viennese waltz to Earned It by The Weeknd.
01:06:06Sexy.
01:06:07She won't let me be sexy.
01:06:08Yes.
01:06:09Well, I will.
01:06:10She says America can't handle it.
01:06:11I did that song to a Viennese waltz.
01:06:12Did you really?
01:06:13Yes.
01:06:14It's Dylan Efron and Rumor Willis.
01:06:15Wow.
01:06:16We got Andy.
01:06:17Yeah.
01:06:18And Gatelyn.
01:06:19And Gatelyn.
01:06:20And Gatelyn.
01:06:21And Gatelyn.
01:06:22And Gatelyn.
01:06:23And Gatelyn.
01:06:24And Gatelyn.
01:06:25And Gatelyn.
01:06:26And Gatelyn.
01:06:27And Gatelyn.
01:06:28And Gatelyn.
01:06:29And Gatelyn.
01:06:30And Gatelyn.
01:06:31And Gatelyn.
01:06:32And Gatelyn.
01:06:33And Gatelyn.
01:06:34And Gatelyn Bristow.
01:06:35She's really good.
01:06:36Gotta do some cardio.
01:06:38It's been a minute.
01:06:39The hunkiness category, Dylan and Rumor have his beat.
01:06:44Yoink.
01:06:45What's that?
01:06:46Yoink.
01:06:47But I can sell it better than he does.
01:06:49So we'll see what wins out.
01:06:50Yes, yes.
01:06:51We gotta find that right hand.
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:53Danny's short.
01:06:54As soon as Rumor's there, it's like, oh, I can bring my chest up.
01:06:55And it feels really natural.
01:06:56Yeah.
01:06:57I don't think I've danced competitively since season 20.
01:07:01But what hasn't changed is I'm gonna win.
01:07:04No biscuit feet, baby.
01:07:06One, two.
01:07:07Oh, sorry, sorry.
01:07:08I would like to win this relay.
01:07:09I want to do it for America and I want to do it for Andy.
01:07:11Game on.
01:07:12Yes.
01:07:13This is the dance to get to the semifinals.
01:07:16I'm leaving it all out there.
01:07:17Good.
01:07:18I'm gonna kill it, Dylan.
01:07:19Really rotate.
01:07:20Yes.
01:07:21I don't want to go.
01:07:22I want to stick around.
01:07:23You are killing it.
01:07:24Oh, thank you.
01:07:25Yes.
01:07:26Dancing the Viennese waltz relay.

01:09:51You were making music
01:09:53There were like two finely tuned instruments in perfect harmony
01:09:58I know who the tuner is, by the way
01:10:01Andy, you wanted to distract me, you succeeded
01:10:05This is gonna go viral, it really is
01:10:08All right, Carrie Ann
01:10:11You two, they're magic, I mean magic
01:10:15They're just the poetry, the way you guys danced, the chemistry
01:10:18All of that was fantastic
01:10:19And you, sir, what's up with the sex appeal tonight?
01:10:22You were a give it, give it, give it
01:10:23But, Carrie Ann, I'm not joking, like, okay, forget the shirt
01:10:26No, seriously, I'm not speaking from a woman's point of view
01:10:29No, wait, hold on, I gotta say this
01:10:30Because you deserve this
01:10:31You are sexy tonight
01:10:33You are a sexy beast
01:10:35Go ahead, go ahead
01:10:36No, I just, I've never seen abdominal muscles wrinkled before
01:10:40But there you go
01:10:42Something for it
01:10:43There's something new I can say that they haven't already said
01:10:45You know, Dylan and Rumor, you guys look like you've been dancing together forever
01:10:48Yeah, yeah
01:10:49It looked, it was beautiful
01:10:50And Andy, my friend, that was so fun and entertaining
01:10:54But again, but you, you were doing it, you know what I mean?

01:11:22Happy 20th birthday, Ray
01:11:24Julianne

01:11:40Oh, she, she picked up right where she left off
01:11:43Like, it was so, she learned it so much faster than I would've
01:11:45It was insane
01:11:46No, you're amazing
01:11:47And Andy, what, how do you think America is gonna react to your sexy Andy abs?
01:11:54I think it's gonna sell a lot of t-shirts
01:11:56Yes
01:11:57And it was so good to see you out there, you absolutely crushed it
01:12:01Daniela, how hard is it on the sidelines?
01:12:05I love it, because I, I literally am like a proud mom standing on the side
01:12:11I was so proud tonight, like, it made me wanna cry, honestly
01:12:15Amazing, alright, well, Bruno, which couple gets the judges bonus points?
01:12:20Well, the winner of the relay dance is...
01:12:25Dylan and Rumor
01:12:28Alright, so that means that Dylan and Daniella will have two bonus points added to their scores for the night
01:12:35Of course, each couple wants votes from you
01:12:37Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance
01:12:40Alfonso
01:12:41Alright, thanks, Julianne
01:12:42There's one more relay dance to go before tonight's elimination
01:12:46Robert and Whitney and Alex and Val will vie for the bonus points with their returning champions next live
01:12:54Welcome back to our 20th birthday party
01:13:07Here are the couples in the final relay dance
01:13:11It's Robert and Whitney versus Alex and Val
01:13:15And replacing those pros are the champions of season 32 and season 33
01:13:22Marvel star Xochitl Gomez and Bachelor star Joey Gratidae
01:13:27Alright, let's see our final couples in training
01:13:35You wanna see who your dance partner is?
01:13:37So badly
01:13:38She brings so much energy
01:13:43It's been like two years
01:13:44Two years
01:13:45I'm a little rusty
01:13:46I'm nervous
01:13:47Let's go
01:13:48This guy just won't leave
01:13:51Joey was just on last season, so he's pretty fresh off the dance floor
01:13:55This is gonna be a good partnership
01:13:57Jive
01:13:59Dance with me tonight by Olly Murs
01:14:02I've never danced a jive before
01:14:04Oh
01:14:05I did a backflip
01:14:06Do you wanna flip me?
01:14:07I'm willing to be flicked
01:14:08I'm ready
01:14:09Alright, Robert Irwin with Xochitl Gomez
01:14:12Your old partner
01:14:14Alex Irwin
01:14:15And Joey Gratidae
01:14:17Girl, we gotta bring it
01:14:18Yeah, we gotta bring it
01:14:19Down up!
01:14:20Down up!
01:14:21The advantage that we have is 100% energy
01:14:26Oh!
01:14:27Down, toss
01:14:28How does your foot not hit me in the face?
01:14:30It won't
01:14:31I am willing to take whatever risk
01:14:33Here we go
01:14:36Oh!
01:14:37Did he hit your face?
01:14:38A little
01:14:39She'll survive
01:14:40Four, five, a six
01:14:41Yes!
01:14:42Good, good, good
01:14:43I hope to never be the reason that Robert does not win
01:14:48That would suck
01:14:49Here, there
01:14:50I want Alex and Val to get into the semifinals
01:14:52You guys look great together
01:14:53I just need to make sure I stop hitting Alex in the face
01:14:59Are you okay?
01:15:00This is the last dance before the semifinals
01:15:02So I wanna prove I can stand on my own and do it without Val
01:15:06I don't like that
01:15:08I don't wanna keep doing that
01:15:09This is our ticket to the semifinals
01:15:11Alright, Robert, we get it
01:15:12We have no other option but to get this right
01:15:15Oh!
01:15:16Oh!
01:15:17I...
01:15:18Are you okay?
01:15:19Yep
01:15:20I'm fine, there's just like blood dripping down my throat
01:15:24Dancing the Jive Relay
01:15:26It's Robert Irwin and Sochi Gomez
01:15:28Versus Alex Earl and Joey Grazzaville
01:15:39Name is Ali, nice to meet you, can I tell you, baby

01:15:45But not like you, you shine so bright
01:15:49Yeah
01:15:51I was wondering if you could make you spend a minute
01:15:54On the floor, up and close, getting lost in it
01:15:57I won't give up without a fight
01:16:01I just wanna

01:16:46me tonight. Everybody, everybody, come on now. Bop, bop, bop. I just want you to dance
01:16:54with me tonight. Yeah. Yes. Robert and Sochi and Alex and Joey with a dive relay. Wow.
01:17:10The pros are in here. That was the final dance. Voting will be closing soon.
01:17:15Okay, you guys. Wow. Bruno, I'm sorry, I have to do it, but I have to say the standard this
01:17:23season is outstanding. This is, this was, it's not really like watching F1, Ferrari versus
01:17:30McLaren, because everything you did was very good in very different ways. I cannot fault
01:17:37anything. It's purely a question of taste, really, because what you, what you did was
01:17:43brilliant. Absolutely. Absolutely. Carrie Ann. Okay, you know what? Does anyone else love
01:17:49this challenge? Oh yeah. Right? I, I love seeing you guys, like you, the little birdies flown
01:17:54the nest and on your own doing well. You both did really, Sochi, you look so serious. She's
01:18:00like, I'm gonna kiss someone else. You both did great. This is a really hard one, especially
01:18:04because it's boy and girl opposite. And yeah, it's hard to compare. So we'll see. Yeah. Yeah.
01:18:09That's called a champion stare right there. It was a champion stare. All right, Derek.
01:18:13Well, first of all, I, I, I love the irony of the fact that Val trained both of these ladies.
01:18:17I think it's incredible. You did a great job, Val. You did a great job. Well done, Val.
01:18:21You did a great job. Well done. Um, echoing what they said. It was amazing. By the way,
01:18:27Robert and Sochi, the chemistry. Excuse me. Excuse me. It was so wonderful. It was so pure.
01:18:35It was so fun. Joyful Alex and Joey. This is a hard one, guys. I have no idea.
01:18:41All right, Tom. All right. You guys were great. But in my last comments as a judge,
01:18:45I want to talk to the network. This show is setting ratings records again. So next season,
01:18:51bring back the results show. Yeah. Let the whole country vote. Let everyone vote. Let everybody vote.
01:18:59That's the man who likes to vote. All right, y'all. Head on up to the skybox with Juliet for your scores.
01:19:05As our nation observes Veteran Day, we want to give our sincere thanks to all those past and present
01:19:13who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms. We appreciate your service. Julianne.
01:19:19Thanks, Alfonso. And thank you, veterans. Wow, wow, wow. Come on up here.
01:19:26All right. Let's start with Alex. How different was it dancing with Joey versus Val?
01:19:32I mean, it was a little different at first. Definitely got a few punches to the face.
01:19:38But it was. It was great. Hi. And yeah, I mean, it's crazy.
01:19:43Joey looking for the Ops. Joey looking for the Ops this week.
01:19:45I didn't mean to hit her in the face, okay? I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.
01:19:48I think it turned out great. It was great. It was worth it.
01:19:51But seriously, I feel like Val really has taught me so much this season
01:19:56and really prepared me to go out there and, like, know what I should or shouldn't be doing.
01:20:00So it was weird, but it felt good. That was good. And Robert, you know, Sochi was Val's partner.
01:20:05So did this bring out, like, some competition knowing that you were up against Alex?
01:20:10It was wild. Like, it's really crazy. But honestly, we just had too much fun in rehearsal.
01:20:15It was, I mean, I kind of felt bad. Whitney, you had to. I know.
01:20:18You really had your work cut out for you. I love it. Well, you know what? Let's get to it.
01:20:23Carrie-Ann, which couple gets the judges' points tonight?
01:20:26Okay, well, I honestly think this one was the toughest one to decide.
01:20:30So the winner of the Relay Dance is...
01:20:34Robert and Sochi!
01:20:36So that means that Robert and Whitney will have two bonus points added to their first-round scores.
01:20:42All of our couples still need votes from you to dance in the semifinals. Alpanzo.
01:20:46Wow, thanks, Julianne. Let's take a look at the final leaderboard with the bonus points added in.
01:20:52At the top, it's a three-way tie with Dylan and Daniela, Robert and Whitney, Whitney and Mark with 42,
01:20:58and at the bottom, it's Andy and Emma with 29.
01:21:01Now, here are all the voting details for all of our couples.
01:21:04Complete voting information can be found on ABC.com.
01:21:07Even with the bonus points, no one is guaranteed a place in the semifinals.
01:21:11There are only two weeks left in the competition, and your votes mean the most ever.
01:21:18We will combine the judges' scores with your votes and reveal who is going to the semifinals and who is not when we come back live.
01:21:28Welcome back! OK, you at home gave us the best birthday present ever!
01:21:45Tonight, we received the most votes ever!
01:21:49Yes, thank you! Voting is now closed, and here are the results.
01:21:56Good luck to all of you.
01:21:59We've combined the judges' scores from tonight with your live votes.
01:22:03Now, in no particular order, let's find out which couples will dance in the semifinals and who will be going home tonight.

01:22:32Dylan and Daniela!
01:22:38And joining them in the semifinals are...
01:22:45Alex and Val!
01:22:51And in no particular order, the next couple who has made it to the semifinals is...
01:22:57Robert and Whitney!
01:23:04Well, not necessarily the bottom three.
01:23:07Two of these remaining couples are safe.
01:23:09The other had the lowest combined total of judges' scores and viewer votes from tonight and will be leaving right now.
01:23:14It's time for the final result.
01:23:16Elaine and Alan, Andy and Emma, Jordan and Ezra.
01:23:26Based on the combination of the judges' scores and viewer votes, the couple going home is...
01:23:32Andy and Emma.
01:23:39Andy, Emma, please join us for a final moment.
01:23:42We did.
01:23:43Come on down.
01:23:44Come on down.
01:23:45Okay, Andy.
01:23:46The People's Princess!
01:23:48The People's Princess.
01:23:50Andy, what has this competition meant to you?
01:23:55Uh, I've said it.
01:23:57I've said it a bunch.
01:23:58It's changed my life.
01:23:59I'm a different person because of this show and because of this woman right here.
01:24:05None of this would have happened without her.
01:24:07She knew how to use me.
01:24:09We created a thing together.
01:24:11And it was just TikToks and dancing.
01:24:14And, you know, it exploded.
01:24:17It's crazy.
01:24:18So it's been wonderful.
01:24:19And I certainly feel like a winner.
01:24:21So I'm not worried.
01:24:22Absolutely.
01:24:23We love you, Andy.
01:24:24We love you guys.
01:24:25Congratulations.
01:24:26And special thanks to Tom Bergeron.
01:24:28And it was wonderful having you back in the ballroom.
01:24:31We love you, Tom.
01:24:32Let's have another hand for Andy and Emma.
01:24:35You can hear their exclusive first full interview Thursday on our official podcast.
01:24:39We'll be back next Tuesday with the semifinals and Prince Night.
01:24:42We'll see you on ABC and Disney+.
