00:04:07Please welcome your hosts, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julian Hough,
00:04:31and your original host and guest judge, Tom Bergeron.
00:04:37Welcome to our 20th birthday party and congratulations to the seven couples

00:05:03And let's also give a big welcome to our honorary guest judge for the night,
00:05:12Mr. Tom Bergeron.
00:05:13Hi, sweetheart.
00:05:14I am thrilled to be here tonight.
00:05:18It's such a rush.
00:05:19Absolutely.
00:05:20Now, 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.
00:05:43And we have a number of familiar faces from past seasons in the ballroom tonight.
00:05:47This 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.
00:05:56Hold on, hold on.
00:05:57I know this one by heart.

00:06:16Remarkable retention right here.
00:06:19That was impressive.
00:06:20Yes, it was.
00:06:21All 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.
00:06:33For 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.
00:06:44Now, Tom, before you join our judges, what are you hoping to see tonight?
00:06:51Well, look, you're a week away from the semifinal, 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.
00:07:03Yeah, yeah, I can tell.
00:07:06I can already tell this is going to be a lot of fun tonight.
00:07:09Oh, yeah.
00:07:10Well, 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.
00:07:22The way that you dance is just like a breath of fresh air.
00:07:31Thank you!
00:07:32Nine!
00:07:33Ten!
00:07:34Last week 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.
00:08:08Wait for me.
00:08:09Mario and Karina have this electric chemistry together.
00:08:12And 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.
00:08:34Dancing the salsa with her partner, Alan Burstyn.
00:08:39It's Elaine Hendricks.
00:08:43Do it!
00:08:48I
00:09:18Oh
00:09:48Yes
00:09:50Elaine and Alan with a salsa it takes two to make a thing go right and boy did it go right tonight
00:10:07Oh
00:10:09You got a little funk in your step tonight
00:10:12Great job all right Tom as our honored guest judge we're gonna start with you
00:10:17I guess you're coming over here. He doesn't want to sit there
00:10:20Now look Elaine's a friend, but I have to stoically assess your judge your dance and I just want to say
00:10:34All right, Bruno
00:10:36Well, that's how you get the party started you got him going I
00:10:41Thought we lost him for a moment
00:10:43Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed shake it literally very very bushy there. Oh, yes
00:10:49But listen there is a quality of you it's something very special whatever you do
00:10:54You're like the best champagne. It always goes down a treat
00:10:57All right, all right Carrie-Anne
00:10:59That was a fantastic way to start this night
00:11:03You know I look at you and I just think resilience two weeks ago. You couldn't even dance and here you are
00:11:08Throwing it down giving us some fly girl moves kicking some booty. Well done
00:11:13Derek Elaine you are just like a sizzling salsa
00:11:18Queen here I love it the way we start the show is truly a celebration those continuous spins by the way
00:11:24Yeah, that is incredible truly incredible
00:11:27I'll just say we are in the quarterfinals, right? We have two weeks left
00:11:33So that's all I'm gonna say. That's all you're gonna say
00:11:36You have a lot more you have to say and you guys head on up to the sky box
00:11:40One of the couples who tied for the middle of last week's leaderboard is on the way
00:11:45Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson will be out on the floor soon to perform a Foxtrot Juliet
00:11:50Thanks Albonzo
00:11:52All right Elaine Allen
00:11:54There is just two weeks left in this competition
00:11:56Everybody is making sacrifices to be here. How much would it mean for you to make it to the semi-finals?
00:12:01Oh my god, it would mean everything to me
00:12:03I'm so grateful to be here for the 20th anniversary of Dancing with the Stars
00:12:09I know some people didn't think I would make it this far, but I have been just putting my heart and soul into everything
00:12:15And I don't plan on quitting now
00:12:19Well, we're gonna get your scores when we come back
00:12:35Welcome back and in time for a quick change
00:12:37Before the break Elaine and Alan performed a salsa that Carrie-Anne said was a fantastic way to start the night. Let's get their scores
00:12:47Carrie-Anne Inabe
00:12:49Nine
00:12:51Derek Hux
00:12:53Tom Bergeron
00:12:55Nine
00:12:57All right
00:12:5936 out of 40 for Elaine and Alan so far
00:13:02They'll compete for more judges points later in the relay dance round
00:13:06But if you want to see them in the semi-finals, you can vote right now
00:13:09Alfonzo
00:13:10All right. Thanks, Julianne. We're off to a great start
00:13:13Up next our wildlife conservationist performs a Foxtrot with a special meaning
00:13:19It's Robert Irwin and his partner Whitney Carson
00:13:22We want to do the Foxtrot justice you had to keep this open still
00:13:28Yeah
00:13:30Oh my goodness
00:13:34Wow
00:13:36How are you?
00:13:38Look there's a picture of Mama
00:13:40That's me! That's her she won
00:13:42Yeah
00:13:44I am so proud of you guys
00:13:46I never thought I would get to this point
00:13:48You know how I was supposed to be in Brazil?
00:13:50Doing the Earthshot prize
00:13:52And I told Prince William, sorry I can't make it I'm still here
00:13:54It's so exciting
00:13:55And I'm just so grateful
00:13:57So this week we're doing the Foxtrot to your freestyle dance
00:14:00To Footprints in the Sand
00:14:01This performance is so meaningful
00:14:03Because my sister originally dedicated it to my dad and his legacy
00:14:08So there's a lot of weight
00:14:09Because I really want it to be our best dance yet to be honest
00:14:13How did you go into this dance? What was your mindset?
00:14:15It was just letting the emotion be real
00:14:18A part of me healed that day
00:14:21So now I hope that Robert gets that same experience
00:14:24I am so excited
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
00:14:31Let's see
00:14:32Oh my goodness

00:14:40We're really going to go on and save the world
00:14:42We're missing you, Robert
00:14:44Whilst your twinkle toes are going off elsewhere
00:14:46I need you down here
00:14:47Oh

00:15:16So let's not mess this up
00:15:19Dancing the Foxtrot
00:15:21With his partner Whitney Carson
00:15:23It's Robert Irwin
00:15:32You walked with me
00:15:36Footprints in the sand
00:15:39And helped me understand
00:15:42Where I'm going
00:15:48And just when I
00:15:51I thought I lost my way
00:15:54You gave me strength to carry on
00:15:58That's when I heard you say
00:16:03I promise you
00:16:07That I'm always there
00:16:11When your heart is filled with sadness
00:16:15And despair
00:16:19I'll carry you
00:16:22When your feet are flying

00:26:32Plus a special tribute to Remember the Stars We've Lost
00:26:36We're live and we're coming right back
00:26:38Welcome back
00:26:51As we celebrate this 20th birthday party, let's remember the members of our ballroom family who are no longer with us
00:26:58They will live forever in our hearts
00:27:01They will live forever in our hearts
00:27:03That Arizona sky
00:27:06Burning in your eyes
00:27:08Burning in your eyes
00:27:10You look at me, babe, I wanna catch on fire
00:27:16So when I'm all choked up but I can't find the words
00:27:25Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts
00:27:31When I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
00:27:34When the sun goes down and the band won't play
00:27:38When the sun goes down and the band won't play
00:27:40I'll always remember us this way
00:27:46It's when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
00:27:49It's when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
00:27:53It's when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
00:27:55Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts
00:28:01When the sun goes down and the band won't play
00:28:11I'll always remember us this way
00:28:20Ezra and Riley with a beautiful tribute to those
00:28:36who 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
00:28:44with our reality TV star and content creator
00:28:47It's Dylan Efron and his partner, Daniela Karagach
00:28:58Overall, a little bit more energy
00:29:00But that was fantastic
00:29:02Eight! Nine!
00:29:04Thank you for the place!
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
00:29:12Okay, 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
00:29:24But he's performing, he's acting
00:29:26It's gonna be a good chance for you to 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
00:29:40I know I am getting better at being in character
00:29:43Dramatic
00:29:44We'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!
00:29:57Dancing the Argentine tango
00:29:59With his partner, Daniela Karagach
00:30:01In the Dutch, it's Dylan Efron
00:30:06Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
00:30:12It's not warm when she's away
00:30:19Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
00:30:22And she's always gone too long
00:30:25Anytime she goes away
00:30:31Wonder this time where she's gone
00:30:38Wonder if she's gonna stay
00:30:44Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
00:30:47In this house, this ain't no one
00:30:50Any time she goes away
00:30:54And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

00:53:54immunity last week they won't have to compete in tonight's relay dances they'll also win two
00:53:59bonus points from the judges however it doesn't mean they are immune from tonight's elimination they
00:54:04are still just as likely to go home as any of our stars they definitely need your votes to dance in the
00:54:09semifinals alfonso all right thanks julian the stars are getting ready to dance without their pros
00:54:15and for the first time ever with returning champions the relay dances are next now let's get the inside
00:54:23perspective of the people who have been watching all of the dances since day one our judges
00:54:31i remember the very first day when i walked onto set with len and bruno it felt like
00:54:36something a little magical is happening here when i first met len it's like meeting a brother bruno
00:54:43he's such a star i want to dance with you carrie-ann he just was love at first sight you're a sexy guy
00:54:50let's focus i'm trying she always judged from her heart and i always loved that about her
00:54:57i'm derrick huff and i'm deadly when i hit that dance floor being a pro dancer on the show for so many
00:55:02years facing the judges then to being a judge it's a really special experience it was like going from
00:55:10teaching somebody for six hours a day to teaching somebody within 10 seconds start from the bottom
00:55:15keep those turned out well done i'm getting it i'm doing it derek and bruno have the realest
00:55:21bromance i've ever seen oh my goodness you've got us both my first impression of carrie-ann was like yo
00:55:26can this woman stay in her seat i have fallen out of my chair twice
00:55:35why are you looking did i do three hold on
00:55:4230 seconds everybody to be a good judge on a tv show you have to be entertaining you married a murderer
00:55:49you have to make valid points watch the frame you have to communicate just be aware of your whole
00:55:56body what people might not know is that we have to lock in our scores from the moment they finish their
00:56:00dance to they get to alfonso there's applause applause applause two seconds about three to five
00:56:06seconds so they walk over and then we've got to score and we've got to deliver our commentary we work
00:56:12as a team and also individually so if derek's already said like the positive parts the shaping
00:56:18you hit this thing and you kind of went wow and i know that there's something that they still need
00:56:21to work on there are a few stumbles with your foot i'm going to point it out well none of this would
00:56:27have been possible without len i've known len since i was 15 years old i think ballroom's going to really
00:56:35suit you so to sit in his seat because it will forever be his seat it's an honor his presence
00:56:42will always be a part of dancing with the stars may continue i mean he's amazing
00:57:05welcome back before we start the second round let's take a look at the leaderboard with whitney
00:57:11and mark's two bonus points added in currently at the top are whitney and mark with 42 and at the
00:57:17bottom are andy and emma with 29. now whitney and mark won't compete in this round but they still need
00:57:24your votes the relay dance round could shake things up this is the last chance for our couples to get
00:57:31into next week's semi-finals they've been divided into three relay groups the winner of each group
00:57:37will be awarded two bonus points for the first time ever the stars won't be dancing with their pros
00:57:42instead they've been paired with past mirrorball champions up first it's jordan and ezra versus elaine
00:57:49and allen and replacing those pros are the champions of season four and season 24 olympic gold medalist
00:58:00apollo anton ono and nfl running back rashad jennings let's see how our first two couples and their
00:58:08champions trained for this round for the relay you're actually not dancing with me what it's going to be a
00:58:17little weird but i'm very excited okay so like who's our partner oh my god i'm so giddy right now
00:58:26it's pretty cool that i have a you know a former olympian and former mirrorball winner this is like
00:58:30a good speed skating position that low and in dance you want to be tall i wonder who it is
00:58:36yeah rashad jennings we're here rashad runs a 4.59 40-yard dash so he's quick it's been a while but hey you

00:59:20you know you got one when you go into frame you're gonna think of pulling your elbow back jordan is a
00:59:26technician and step and step but our advantage is how we can fill the room with our joy if it's not me
00:59:33dancing i'm glad it's rochelle this is weird i'm not doing anything the most challenging part oh shoot
00:59:39is someone shorter than i'm used to i can give you some of my inches honestly that'd be amazing you're
00:59:43a big guy so you're gonna have to bend those knees a little bit and ah i'm very rusty but getting these

01:13:45Two years
01:13:46I'm a little rusty
01:13:47I'm nervous
01:13:48Let's go
01:13:51This guy just won't leave
01:13:52Joey was just on last season, so he's pretty fresh off the dance floor
01:13:56This is gonna be a good partnership
01:13:58Jive
01:14:00Dance with me tonight by Olly Murs
01:14:02I've never danced a jive before

01:14:41Four, five, a six
01:14:42Yes, good, good, good

01:14:49Here, there
01:14:50I want Alex and Val to get into the semifinals
01:14:52You guys look great together

01:17:03Robert and Sochi and Alex and Joey with a dive relay.
01:17:10Wow, the pros are in here.
01:17:12That was the final dance.
01:17:14Voting will be closing soon.
01:17:16Okay, you guys.
01:17:18Wow.
01:17:19Bruno, I'm sorry.
01:17:20I have to do it.
01:17:20But I have to say,
01:17:22the standard this season is outstanding.
01:17:24This is, this was, it's not a relay, like watching F1, Ferrari versus McLaren, because everything
01:17:32you did was very good in very different ways.
01:17:36I cannot fault anything.
01:17:37It's purely a question of taste, really, because what you did was brilliant.
01:17:43Absolutely.
01:17:44Absolutely.
01:17:45Carrie Ann.
01:17:46Okay.
01:17:47You know what?
01:17:48Does anyone else love this challenge?
01:17:49Oh, yeah.
01:17:50Right?
01:17:51I love seeing you guys, like the little birdies floating the nest and on your own doing well.
01:17:56You both did really good.
01:17:57Sochi looks so serious.
01:17:58She's like, I'm going to kiss someone else.
01:18:00You both did great.
01:18:01This is a really hard one, especially because it's boy and girl opposite.
01:18:05And yeah, it's hard to compare.
01:18:06So we'll see.
01:18:07Yeah.
01:18:08Yeah.
01:18:09That's called a champion stare right there.
01:18:10It was a champion stare.
01:18:11All right.
01:18:12Derek.
01:18:13Well, first of all, I love the irony of the fact that Val trained both of these ladies.
01:18:17I think it's incredible.
01:18:18You did a great job, Val.
01:18:19You did a great job.
01:18:20Well done, Val.
01:18:21You did a great job.
01:18:22He's going to win.
01:18:23He doesn't win.
01:18:24Well done.
01:18:25Echoing what they said.
01:18:26It was amazing.
01:18:27By the way, Robert and Sochi, the chemistry?
01:18:29Excuse me.
01:18:30Yeah.
01:18:31Excuse me.
01:18:32Oh, okay.
01:18:33It was so wonderful.
01:18:34It was so pure.
01:18:35It was so fun.
01:18:36Joyful Alex and Joey.
01:18:38This is a hard one, guys.
01:18:39I have no idea.
01:18:40All right, Tom.
01:18:41All right.
01:18:42You guys were great.
01:18:43But in my last comments as a judge, I want to talk to the network.
01:18:47This show is setting ratings records again.
01:18:50So next season, bring back the results show.
01:18:52Yeah.
01:18:53Let the whole country vote.
01:18:56Let everyone vote.
01:18:57Let everybody vote.
01:18:58That's the man who likes to vote.
01:19:00All right, y'all.
01:19:01Head 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
01:19:11and present who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms.
01:19:15We appreciate your service.
01:19:18Julianne.
01:19:19Thanks, Alfonso.
01:19:20And thank you, veterans.
01:19:22Wow, wow, wow.
01:19:24Come on up here.
01:19:25All right.
01:19:26Let's start with Alex.
01:19:28How different was it dancing with Joey versus Val?
01:19:31I mean, it was a little different at first.
01:19:34Definitely got a few punches to the face.
01:19:36But it was great.
01:19:37Hi.
01:19:38And yeah, I mean, it's crazy.
01:19:39Joey working for the Ops.
01:19:40Joey working for the Ops this week.
01:19:41It is crazy.
01:19:42I didn't mean to hit her in the face, okay?
01:19:43I didn't mean to.
01:19:44I'm sorry.
01:19:45I think it turned out great.
01:19:46It was great.
01:19:47I think we're good.
01:19:48It was worth it.
01:19:49But seriously, I feel like Val really has taught me so much this season and really prepared
01:19:55me to go out there and like know what I should or shouldn't be doing.
01:19:59So it was weird, but it felt good.
01:20:01That was good.
01:20:02And Robert, you know, Sochi was Val's partner.
01:20:04So did this bring out like some competition knowing that you were up against Alex?
01:20:09It was wild.
01:20:10Like, it's really crazy.
01:20:11But honestly, we just had too much fun in rehearsal.
01:20:14It was, I mean, I kind of felt bad.
01:20:16Whitney, you had to.
01:20:17I know.
01:20:18You really had your work cut out for you.
01:20:19I love it.
01:20:20Well, you know what?
01:20:21Let's get to it.
01:20:22Carrie-Anne, which couple gets the judges' points tonight?
01:20:25Okay.
01:20:26Well, I honestly think this one was the toughest one to decide.
01:20:29So the winner of the relay dance is Robert and Sochi.
01:20:35So that means that Robert and Whitney will have two bonus points added to their first round scores.
01:20:41All of our couples still need votes from you to dance in the semifinals.
01:20:45Alpanzo.
01:20:46Wow.
01:20:47Thanks, Julianne.
01:20:48Let's take a look at the final leaderboard with the bonus points added in.
01:20:51At the top, it's a three-way tie with Dylan and Daniela, Robert and Whitney.
01:20:56Whitney and Mark with 42.
01:20:57And at the bottom, it's Andy and Emma with 29.
01:21:00Now, here are all the voting details for all of our couples.
01:21:03Complete voting information can be found on ABC.com.
01:21:06Even with the bonus points, no one is guaranteed a place in the semifinals.
01:21:10There are only two weeks left in the competition, and your votes mean the most ever.
01:21:16We 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.
01:21:26Welcome back.
01:21:38OK, you at home gave us the best birthday present ever.
01:21:44Tonight, we received the most votes ever.
01:21:47Yes, thank you.
01:21:50Voting is now closed, and here are the results.
01:21:55Good luck to all of you.
01:21:58We've combined the judges' scores from tonight with your live votes.

01:22:40And joining them in the semifinals are...
01:22:47Alex and Val!
01:22:52And in no particular order, the next couple who has made it to the semifinals is...

01:23:04Well, not necessarily the bottom three.
01:23:06Two of these remaining couples are safe.

01:23:45Come on down!
01:23:46The People's Princess!
01:23:47Yes!
01:23:48The People's Princess!
01:23:49Andy, what has this competition meant to you?
01:23:54Uh...
01:23:55I've said it.
01:23:56I'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.
01:24:04None of this would have happened without her.
01:24:07She knew how to use me.
01:24:09We created a thing together and it was just TikToks and dancing.
01:24:14And, you know, it exploded.
01:24:16It's crazy.
01:24:17Yeah.
01:24:18So it's been wonderful.
01:24:19And I certainly feel like a winner, so I'm not worried.
01:24:21Absolutely.
01:24:22We love you, Andy.
01:24:23We love you guys.
01:24:24Congratulations!
01:24:25A special thanks to Tom Bergeron.
01:24:27It was wonderful having you back in the ballroom.
01:24:30We love you, Tom.
01:24:31Let's have another hand for Andy and Emma.
01:24:34You can hear their exclusive first full interview Thursday on our official podcast.
01:24:38We'll be back next Tuesday with the semifinals and Prince Night.
