00:00:00Live from Hollywood, this is Dancing with the Stars.
00:00:11Welcome to the very first episode of Dancing with the Stars.
00:00:15Tonight, we've got two pivotal words, ballroom dancing.
00:00:23The number one show of the summer.
00:00:30Pure, unquestionable excellence.
00:00:40The most wonderful, wonderful dancing.
00:03:21Would you do the honors?
00:03:22I would love to, my friend.
00:03:25Live from Hollywood, it's the 20th birthday party of Dancing with the Stars.
00:05:13Hi, sweetheart.
00:05:14I am thrilled to be here tonight.
00:05:17It's such a rush.
00:05:19Absolutely.
00:05:20Now, you're here for a special night that began with our spectacular opening number.
00:05:25It's choreographed by Derek Hough.
00:05:27And featured all six of our original pros.
00:05:31Alec Mazzo, Charlotte Jorgensen, Ashley Del Grosso, Jonathan Roberts, Editus Lewinska, and Louis
00:05:40Van 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.
00:05:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:05:55Hold on, hold on.
00:05:56I know this one by heart.
00:05:58Voting is available right now and is available to the U.S., its territories, and Canada at
00:06:03ABC.com.
00:06:04Plus, subscribers on participating U.S. wireless phone carriers can text the first name of their
00:06:09favorite star to the number 21523.
00:06:11Message and data rates may apply.
00:06:13You get 10 votes per couple per voting method.
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
00:06:30dances.
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?
00:06:50Well, 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.
00:07:03Yeah.
00:07:04Yeah.
00:07:05I 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, 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.
00:08:08Wait for me.
00:08:09Karina 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.
00:08:38It's Elaine Hendrix.

00:09:40One, two, three, keep this now.
00:09:42It takes two to make, it takes two to make, it takes two to make, it takes two to make a thing go right.
00:09:51Yes, Elaine and Alan with a salsa, it takes two to make a thing go right.
00:10:02And boy, did it go right tonight.
00:10:04Good job. Good job, man.
00:10:08Oh, you got a little funk in your step tonight. Great job.
00:10:12All right, Tom, as our honored guest judge, we're gonna start with you.
00:10:16I guess you're coming over here. He doesn't want to sit there.
00:10:19Now look, now look, Elaine's a friend, but I have to stoically assess your judge, your dance.
00:10:26And I just want to say, that was really good.
00:10:33All right, Bruno.
00:10:35Well, that's how you get the party started. You got him going.
00:10:40I thought we lost him for a moment.
00:10:42Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, shaken, literally very, very bushy there.
00:10:47Oh, yes! But listen, there is a quality of you. It's something very special.
00:10:52Whatever you do, you're like the best champagne. It always goes down a treat.
00:10:56All right, all 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, and here you are, throwing it down,
00:11:08giving us some fly girl moves, kicking some booty. Well done.
00:11:11Yeah, Derek.
00:11:13Elaine, you are just like a sizzling salsa queen here.
00:11:18I love it. The way we start this show is truly a celebration.
00:11:21Those continuous spins, by the way.
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24That is incredible. Truly incredible.
00:11:27I'll just say, we are in the quarterfinals, right?
00:11:30We have two weeks left, so 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.
00:11:36You have a lot more you have to say.
00:11:37And you guys head on up to the skybox.
00:11:39One of the couples who tied for the middle of last week's leaderboard is on the way.
00:11:44Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson will be out on the floor soon to perform a Foxtrot.
00:11:49Juliette.
00:11:50Thanks, Albonzo. All right, Elaine, Alan.
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, 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,
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 to your scores when we come back.
00:12:21Wow.
00:12:22I know, I know.
00:12:26Welcome back and in time for a quick change.
00:12:36Before the break, Elaine and Alan 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 Hux.
00:12:51Nine!
00:12:52Tom Bergeron.
00:12:54Nine!
00:12:56Bruno Tomioli.
00:12:57Nine!
00:12:58All right, 36 out of 40 for Elaine and Alan so far.
00:13:02They'll compete for more judges' points later in the relay dance round,
00:13:05but if you want to see them in the semifinals, you can vote right now.
00:13:09Alfonso.
00:13:10All right, thanks, Julianne.
00:13:11We're off to a great start.
00:13:13Up next, our wildlife conservationist performs a Foxtrot with a special meaning.
00:13:18It's Robert Irwin and his partner, Whitney Carson.
00:13:21Whitney Carson.
00:13:24We want to do the Foxtrot justice.
00:13:26We have to keep this open still.
00:13:27Yep.
00:13:28Oh, my goodness.
00:13:29Wow.
00:13:30Look, there's a picture of Marvel.
00:13:31That's me.
00:13:32That's her.
00:13:33She won.
00:13:34Yeah.
00:13:35I am so proud of you guys.
00:13:37I never thought I would get to this point.
00:13:39You know how I was supposed to be in Brazil?
00:13:40Yes.
00:13:41Doing the Earthshot prize.
00:13:42And I told Prince William, sorry, I can't make it.
00:13:43I'm still here.
00:13:44It's so exciting.
00:13:45And I'm just so grateful.
00:13:46So 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
00:14:06and 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.
00:14:17A part of me healed that day.
00:14:20So now I hope that Robert gets that same experience.
00:14:23I am so excited to 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?
00:14:34How are you?
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, my goodness.
00:14:49Whitney, you need to get him in as much glitter as you can.
00:14:51Listen, I've tried.
00:14:52Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:53Guys, you've got a seriously good chance of winning it.
00:14:55So 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.
00:15:01What?
00:15:08I can't believe he just said my name.
00:15:10We are doing this dance for Bindi, and we're doing this dance for Prince William.
00:15:14Oh, my goodness.
00:15:15No pressure.
00:15:16So let's not mess this up.
00:15:18Dancing 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 thought I lost my way, you gave me strength to carry on, that's when I heard you say.
00:16:02I promise you that I'm always there.
00:16:11When your heart is filled with sadness and despair.
00:16:17I'll carry you.
00:16:18I'll carry you.
00:16:19When your feet are flying.
00:16:24I'll carry you.
00:16:25When your feet are flying.
00:16:27I'll carry you.
00:16:28When your feet are flying.
00:16:29You'll find our footprints in the sand.
00:16:34I'll carry you.
00:16:35I'll carry you.
00:16:40Robert and Whitney with a Foxtrot, and an appearance by his sister Bindi.
00:16:45Mr. Bindi.
00:16:59Come on over here, guys.
00:17:08Come here.
00:17:10Bruno.
00:17:11My darling, that was so beautiful.
00:17:14It was a poetic, touching tribute
00:17:17that 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.
00:17:31Thanks. Carry 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
00:17:40that 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?
00:17:56No more lift police.
00:17:57It's over now.
00:17:59Bravo.
00:18:00Bravo.
00:18:01Bravo.
00:18:02Derek.
00:18:03You know, I feel so honored to be entangled
00:18:06in the Irwin story, just even a little bit.
00:18:09It means the world to me.
00:18:10And one thing I loved about your father
00:18:11was that he lived life with so much enthusiasm,
00:18:13and you, my friend, have...
00:18:16are this generation's beacon of joy and enthusiasm,
00:18:21and you're not just walking the path that he set, my friend.
00:18:24You are dancing it, and 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,
00:18:35and that didn't help.
00:18:37The last time we saw each other, you were 11.
00:18:39I was a little bit...
00:18:40You have grown into a star, Robert.
00:18:42You really have.
00:18:43All right, you guys.
00:18:47Head on up to the skybox.
00:18:50The man who has been dubbed the people's princess
00:18:53is on the way.
00:18:55Andy Richter and Emma Slater will be out on the dance floor
00:18:58soon with their quick step.
00:19:00Julianne.
00:19:01Thanks, Alfonso.
00:19:03All right.
00:19:04It's definitely an emotional night already.
00:19:07Robert, can we hold up for one second,
00:19:09and can we just go back to the fact
00:19:10that the future king of England zoomed you?
00:19:12Is he texting Robert to 21523 or what?
00:19:17I sure hope so.
00:19:18I don't know if you can text him in Britain,
00:19:20but, mate, that was just amazing.
00:19:22You know, tonight to me was about
00:19:25this wildlife conservation legacy I represent.
00:19:28I mean, I didn't know that footage was going to be there
00:19:31at the end, but every time that I step onto that floor,
00:19:37I represent my dad, his message, and what he stood for.
00:19:41And I just want to make him proud.
00:19:43He's my hero.
00:19:45I bet these scores will make him proud.
00:19:49Let's get them, shall we?
00:19:51You've made us all proud.

00:29:17whitney and milo's freestyle i feel like milo was one of the best performers because he's so
00:29:23engaged into whatever he's doing but he's performing he's acting it's going to be a good
00:29:28chance for you to like show the character of the dance boom boom boom attack milo just looks like a
00:29:33dancer which is really impressive he owns that stage but he is an actor i'm not be a little bit stronger
00:29:39i know i am getting better at being in character dramatic we've been working so hard each week and
00:29:45it feels like a breakthrough is imminent like we're right there he was moving the whole time and i'm

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, Daniella
00:32:11Well done, well done
00:32:13I gotta tell you, anybody watching this show
00:32:17For the very first time would go, why are two pros dancing?
00:32:20I don't get that
00:32:21And let me tell you, let me tell you
00:32:24I know your brother's the actor
00:32:25I know your brother's the actor
00:32:25You're a leading man
00:32:26Hey!
00:32:27Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, Bruno
00:32:29Dylan, the Argentinian 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, perfectly
00:32:50What's up, what's up, Kerri-Ann
00:32:53Your 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
00:33:04The man who held the crown for the Argentine tango for me
00:33:08The best performance was Gilles Marini
00:33:10Tonight, my friend
00:33:11It now goes to you
00:33:14With all my love, Gilles
00:33:17Head on up to the skybox
00:33:19Right now, you can see
00:33:21Jordan Childs and Ezra Sosa
00:33:23Getting ready for their dance
00:33:24Live 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
00:33:41Alright, so now the relay dance is coming up
00:33:44You are going to be dancing with
00:33:45Not your partner
00:33:47But another champion
00:33:48How are you feeling about that?
00:33:49I am really excited
00:33:51Because a lot of people don't see
00:33:53A male celebrity leading
00:33:55A 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 leads his partner right now
00:34:01It's so impressive
00:34:02I wanted to cry when I watched him
00:34:04Alright, well we are going to see that coming up
00:34:07But first, let's get your scores
00:34:09When we come back
00:34:10Welcome back
00:34:23Before the break
00:34:24Dylan and Daniela performed an Argentine tango
00:34:27That Derek said was his breakthrough moment
00:34:29Let's get their scores
00:34:31Carianne Inabe
00:34:3410

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 really proud after
00:34:59Absolutely, we should feel proud
00:35:01Well, even though they will compete again
00:35:03For more points in 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 and online
00:35:10Right now
00:35:11Alfonso

00:35:17Tina Turner-inspired routine
00:35:19Landed her just one point
00:35:21Behind the leaders
00:35:21It's 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 9s and two 10s
00:35:37But we only have three more weeks left
00:35:39And this is grind time
00:35:40Happy birthday
00:35:41Ah, ah
00:35:42Happy birthday
00:35:43Ah, ah
00:35:44Growing 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 so 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
00:39:26Let's go
00:39:26All right
00:39:27We love that
00:39:28Head on up to the skybox

00:39:50All right, Jordan
00:39:51You have been a fan of this show
00:39:53And have been watching it
00:39:53For many years
00:39:54How does it feel
00:39:55To be a part of such
00:39:56A milestone season
00:39:57It's honestly been
00:39:58Such a remarkable experience
00:39:59I mean, when the first
00:40:00The show first came out
00:40:01I was only four years old
00:40:02So to be a part of this
00:40:04To be a part of this
00:40:07Honestly has been
00:40:08Such an amazing
00:40:10You know, experience

00:41:21To a cinema classic
00:41:23From the star
00:41:23Who last week
00:41:24Earned a near perfect score
00:41:26It's social media personality
00:41:28Alex Earl
00:41:29And her partner
00:41:29Val Smirkovski
00:41:31Alex the puzzle
00:41:40Domplein bombshell
00:41:42That was the first time
00:41:45I felt confidence
00:41:46In this space
00:41:47You're the best
00:41:47So I want to take
00:41:48That energy
00:41:49Into this week's dance
00:41:50So Alex
00:41:52This week
00:41:52We celebrate
00:41:5320 years of
00:41:53Dancing with the Stars
00:41:54That's crazy
00:41:55My brother and I
00:41:56Joined the show
00:41:56Season 2
00:41:57And it just changed
00:41:59Our entire lives
00:41:59I remember watching this
00:42:01With like my grandma
00:42:02When I was younger
00:42:02So I want to be able
00:42:04To put out a killer dance
00:42:05That's great
00:42:06Because we're doing
00:42:07The fox shots
00:42:07Of singing in the rain
00:42:08Inspired by
00:42:09Neve Shulman's
00:42:10And Jenna Johnson's
00:42:11Freestyle
00:42:12They just look like
00:42:13They're having fun
00:42:14And getting lost
00:42:15In someone's joy
00:42:16That's the key
00:42:17Yeah
00:42:17We're gonna show it
00:42:19We gotta glide
00:42:20There's a certain
00:42:20Level of excellence
00:42:21Alex demands
00:42:23From herself
00:42:23What am I doing wrong?
00:42:25But now she needs
00:42:26To surrender out there
00:42:27And really enjoy
00:42:28The moment
00:42:29You're good enough
00:42:29Part of me always
00:42:31Held back
00:42:31But I realized
00:42:32That like at this point
00:42:33In the competition
00:42:34You can't care about
00:42:35Being embarrassed

00:48:36So this week
00:48:38It's the 20th birthday party
00:48:39And I'm going to be
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 now
00:48:42For 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 been
00:48:48In 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
00:48:57Gabby 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
00:49:02To see passion
00:49:03Seduction
00:49:04Intensity
00:49:04From you
00:49:05We've not seen that yet
00:49:06Can you hold it?
00:49:07Whoa

00:49:09That Gabby had
00:49:10Come on

00:49:11The really fast
00:49:13Kicks and 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

00:49:29Mark Ballas
00:49:30It's Whitney Levitt

00:50:04If you'd have seen it
00:50:05I betcha you would have done the same
00:50:09I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City about 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
00:50:31He 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
00:50:43Oh, Whitney and Mark with an Argentine tango
00:50:52Yes, Team Chicago in the place to be
00:50:57Oh, yeah
00:50:59Now that's Team Chicago

00:51:16I'm going to be your biggest fan
00:51:17I'm going to follow you wherever you go
00:51:19That was such an incredibly passionate
00:51:23And precise dance
00:51:25The way you stuck that foot
00:51:27Thank you, girl
00:51:28You were sticking that landing
00:51:29And you nailed it
00:51:30Nailed it
00:51:31Good job
00:51:31All right, Derek
00:51:32I mean, it was just dripping
00:51:34In elegance and control
00:51:36I mean, it was smooth
00:51:38Silky, precise
00:51:39The cicadas, right?
00:51:41It was just the displacement
00:51:42Of the legs and the feet
00:51:43The gonchos
00:51:44The hooks
00:51:45It was so filled
00:51:47The artistry
00:51:48The musicality
00:51:50The theatrics
00:51:51It had it all
00:51:54All right, Tom
00:51:56I have to tell you
00:51:57I was so swept away
00:51:59Derek had to go
00:52:00Enter your score, Tom
00:52:01Yes
00:52:02I do want to say
00:52:04The host part of my brain
00:52:05You got immunity
00:52:07That's the good news
00:52:08But the bad news is
00:52:09You're not dancing again
00:52:10So, out of sight
00:52:11Out of mind, right?
00:52:12You want
00:52:13You're still in the competition
00:52:14You know what I mean?
00:52:16It's like
00:52:16Still vote for them
00:52:18Don't lose the gas
00:52:19Left them on a high
00:52:20Leaving them on a high
00:52:21Bruno
00:52:21I knew you were
00:52:23A ruthless killer
00:52:25Razor sharp focus
00:52:28Driven by passion
00:52:30Now, your legwork
00:52:31And what you did today
00:52:33Really is worthy of such a risk
00:52:35Especially from the drop
00:52:36To the leg
00:52:37To the split
00:52:38Excuse me, honey
00:52:39Best dancer

00:53:54Since they won immunity
00:53:55Last week
00:53:55They won't have to compete
00:53:57In tonight's relay dances
00:53:58They'll also win
00:53:59Two bonus points
00:54:00From the judges
00:54:00However
00:54:01It doesn't mean
00:54:02They are immune
00:54:03From tonight's elimination
00:54:04They are still
00:54:05Just as likely
00:54:06To go home
00:54:06As any of our stars
00:54:07They definitely need
00:54:08Your votes to dance
00:54:09In the semifinals
00:54:10Alfonso
00:54:10All right
00:54:11Thanks, Julianne

00:54:17With returning champions
00:54:18The relay dances are next
00:54:20Now
00:54:22Let's get the inside perspective
00:54:24Of the people
00:54:25Who have been watching
00:54:26All of the dances
00:54:27Since day one
00:54:28Our judges
00:54:29I remember the very first day
00:54:32When I walked onto set
00:54:33With Len and Bruno
00:54:34It felt like
00:54:35Something a little magical
00:54:37Is happening here
00:54:38When I first met Len
00:54:41It's like meeting a brother
00:54:42Bruno, he's such a star
00:54:45I want to dance with you
00:54:47Terryann
00:54:48He just was love at first sight
00:54:49You're a sexy guy
00:54:51That's focus
00:54:51I'm trying
00:54:52She always judged
00:54:54From her heart
00:54:55And I always loved
00:54:55That about her
00:54:56I'm Derek Cuff
00:54:58And I'm deadly
00:54:59When I hit that dance floor
00:55:00Being a pro dancer
00:55:01On the show
00:55:01For so many years
00:55:03Facing the judges
00:55:04Then to being a judge
00:55:06It's a really special
00:55:08Experience
00:55:08It was like
00:55:10Going from teaching
00:55:10Somebody for six hours
00:55:11A day
00:55:12To teaching somebody
00:55:13Within ten 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
00:55:20Have the realest bromance
00:55:21I've ever seen
00:55:22Oh my goodness
00:55:23You got us both
00:55:24My first impression
00:55:25Of Carrie Ann
00:55:25Was like
00:55:26Yo, can this woman
00:55:26Stay in her seat
00:55:27Yeah
00:55:28I have fallen out
00:55:29Of my chair twice
00:55:30Oh no
00:55:31Why are you looking
00:55:36Did I do three
00:55:37Hold on
00:55:38Oh look at that
00:55:39I'm ready
00:55:39Okay
00:55:4030 seconds everybody
00:55:43To be a good judge
00:55:45On a TV show
00:55:46You have to be
00:55:47Entertaining
00:55:48You married a murderer
00:55:49You have to make
00:55:50Valid points
00:55:51Watch the frame
00:55:52You have to
00:55:53Communicate
00:55:54Just be aware
00:55:55Of your whole body
00:55:56What people might not know
00:55:57Is that we have to
00:55:58Lock in our scores
00:55:59From the moment
00:56:00They finish their dance
00:56:01To they get to Alfonso
00:56:03There's applause
00:56:04Applause
00:56:04Applause
00:56:05Two seconds
00:56:05About three to five seconds
00:56:06So they walk over
00:56:07And then we've got to score
00:56:08And we've got to deliver
00:56:10Our commentary
00:56:11We work as a team
00:56:12And also individually
00:56:14So if Derek's already said
00:56:16Like the positive parts
00:56:17The shaping
00:56:18You hit this thing
00:56:18And you kind of went
00:56:19Wah
00:56:19And I know that there's something
00:56:21That they still need to work on
00:56:22There were a few stumbles
00:56:24With your foot
00:56:24I'm going to point it out
00:56:25Well none of this
00:56:27Would have been possible
00:56:28Without Len
00:56:29Applause
00:56:29I've known Len
00:56:32Since I was 15 years old
00:56:33I think Baldwin's
00:56:34Going to really suit you
00:56:35So to sit in his seat
00:56:37Because it will forever
00:56:38Be his seat
00:56:39It's an honor
00:56:40His presence
00:56:42Will always be a part
00:56:43Of Dancing with the Stars
00:56:44May continue
00:56:46I mean he's
00:56:47Amazing
00:56:51Welcome back
00:57:07Before we start
00:57:08The second round
00:57:08Let's take a look
00:57:09At the leaderboard
00:57:10With Whitney and Mark's
00:57:11Two bonus points
00:57:12Added in
00:57:13Currently at the top
00:57:15Are Whitney and Mark
00:57:15With 42
00:57:16And at the bottom
00:57:17Are Andy and Emma
00:57:18With 29
00:57:20Now Whitney and Mark
00:57:21Won't compete in this round
00:57:22But they still need
00:57:24Your votes
00:57:25The relay dance
00:57:26The relay dance round
00:57:26The relay dance round
00:57:26Could shake things up
00:57:28This is the last chance
00:57:30For our couples
00:57:30To get into next week's
00:57:32Semifinals
00:57:32They've been divided
00:57:34Into three relay groups
00:57:35The winner of each group
00:57:37Will be awarded
00:57:38Two bonus points
00:57:39For the first time ever
00:57:40The stars won't be
00:57:41Dancing with their pros
00:57:42Instead
00:57:43They've been paired
00:57:44With past mirrorball champions
00:57:45Up first
00:57:46It's Jordan and Ezra
00:57:48Versus Elaine and Alan
00:57:50And replacing those pros
00:57:53Are the champions
00:57:55Of season four
00:57:56And season 24
00:57:58Olympic gold medalist
00:58:00Apollo Anton Ono
00:58:02And NFL running back
00:58:04Rashad Jennings
00:58:05Let's see how our first two couples
00:58:07And their champions
00:58:08Trained for this round
00:58:10For the relay
00:58:14You're actually not
00:58:15Dancing with me
00:58:16What?
00:58:17It's gonna be a little weird
00:58:18But I'm very excited
00:58:19Okay so like
00:58:20Who's our partner?
00:58:21Oh my god!
00:58:23I'm so giddy right now
00:58:24Team USA!
00:58:26It's pretty cool
00:58:27That I have a
00:58:27You know
00:58:27A former Olympian
00:58:28And former mirrorball winner
00:58:30This is like
00:58:30A good speed skating position
00:58:32That low?
00:58:32And in dance
00:58:33And you wanna be tall
00:58:34I wonder who it is
00:58:35Yeah!
00:58:38Rashad Jennings
00:58:39We're here
00:58:40Rashad runs a 4.59
00:58:4240 yard dash
00:58:43So he's quick
00:58:44It's been a while
00:58:44But hey
00:58:45You know
00:58:45We get these shoulders back
00:58:46I'll give you a nice frame
00:58:47To get in
00:58:47I haven't danced
00:58:48In 13 years
00:58:50Are you ready to know
00:58:51Your style and song?
00:58:54Quick step
00:58:55Oh
00:58:55To I get a kick out of you
00:58:57By Michael Buble
00:58:59Are you ready to get that stamina?
00:59:01We have no choice
00:59:01You did the quick step
00:59:03We got tens
00:59:04Oh yeah!
00:59:05Jordan Childs
00:59:06And Apollo
00:59:07Anton Ono
00:59:08Two Olympians
00:59:09That's some talent
00:59:10Elaine Hendricks
00:59:11And Rashad Jennings
00:59:14Oh
00:59:14Actress athlete
00:59:15Against two athletes
00:59:16We gotta turn it up
00:59:17Did you bring your jockstrap?
00:59:19I got two of them
00:59:19In case you know
00:59:20I messed up one
00:59:21You got one for me
00:59:21You got one for me
00:59:22When you go into frame
00:59:23You're gonna think of
00:59:24Pulling your elbow back
00:59:25Jordan is
00:59:26A technician
00:59:27And step
00:59:27And step
00:59:28But our advantage
00:59:29Is how we can fill the room
00:59:31With our joy
00:59:32If it's not me dancing
00:59:33I'm glad it's Rochelle
00:59:34This is weird
00:59:35I'm not doing anything
00:59:36The most challenging part
00:59:38Oh shoot
00:59:39Is someone shorter
00:59:40Than I'm used to
00:59:40I can give you
00:59:41Some of my inches
00:59:42Honestly
00:59:42That'd be amazing
00:59:43You're a big guy
00:59:44So you're gonna have to
00:59:45Bend those knees a little bit
00:59:46And uh ah
00:59:46I'm very rusty
00:59:48But getting these two points
00:59:49This is critical for her
00:59:50So there's a lot of pressure here
00:59:52You're getting flashbacks?
00:59:53Miss Elaine
00:59:54Elaine
00:59:54Elaine
00:59:55May the quickest quick step
00:59:56Win
00:59:57Pivot
00:59:57Perfect
00:59:58Last time I was in frame
00:59:59I was in somebody's picture
01:00:00It's a lot of pressure on me
01:00:02But I'm gonna get it
01:00:03And we're gonna get those two points
01:00:04Great partner
01:00:05I have had some big highs
01:00:07And some big lows
01:00:08Which makes me all the more determined
01:00:10To see it to the semifinals
01:00:12It was fast
01:00:13Yeah
01:00:13I wanna quick step my way
01:00:14Into the semifinals so bad
01:00:16Chasse you slay

01:01:18I get no kick in a plane
01:01:22Flying too high

01:06:53As soon as Rumor's there

01:06:57Yeah

01:11:39Oh, she picked up right where she left off
01:11:42Like, it was so
01:11:43She learned it so much faster than I would have
01:11:45It was insane
01:11:46You're amazing
01:11:47And Andy, how do you think America is going to react to your sexy Andy abs?
01:11:53I think it's going to sell a lot of t-shirts

01:11:56And it was so good to see you out there, you absolutely crushed it
01:12:00Daniela, how hard is it on the sidelines?

01:12:35Of course, each couple wants votes from you

01:13:22Marvel star Xochitl Gomez and Bachelors star Joey Gratidae!
01:13:27Alright, let's see our final couples in training
01:13:35You want to 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 going to 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 want to flip me?
01:14:07I'm willing to be flicked
01:14:08I'm ready
01:14:09Alright
01:14:10Robert Irwin with Xochitl Gomez
01:14:11Your old partner
01:14:13Alex Irwin
01:14:15And Joey Gratidae
01:14:16Girl, we gotta bring it
01:14:17Yeah, we gotta bring it
01:14:18Down up!
01:14:19Down up!
01:14:20The advantage that we have is 100% energy
01:14:25Oh!
01:14:26Down, toss
01:14:27How does your foot not hit me in the face?
01:14:29It won't
01:14:30I am willing to take whatever risk
01:14:33Here we go
01:14:34Oh!
01:14:35Did he hit your face?
01:14:37A little
01:14:38She'll survive
01:14:39Four, 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
01:14:47That 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
01:14:55Ow!
01:14:56Are you okay?
01:14:57Yeah
01:14:58This is the last dance before the semifinals
01:15:01So I want to prove I can stand on my own and do it without Val
01:15:06I don't like that
01:15:08I don't want to 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!

01:17:12That was the final dance.
01:17:14Voting will be closing soon.
01:17:16Okay, you guys.
01:17:18Wow, Bruno.
01:17:19I'm sorry, I have to do it
01:17:20But I have to say, the standard this season is outstanding
01:17:24This is, this was, it's not a really
01:17:26I like watching F1, Ferrari versus McLaren
01:17:30Because everything you did was very good
01:17:34in very different ways
01:17:36I cannot fault anything
01:17:37It's purely a question of taste, really
01:17:41Because what you did was brilliant
01:17:43Absolutely, absolutely
01:17:45Carrie Ann
01:17:45Okay, you know what?
01:17:47Does anyone else love this challenge?
01:17:49Oh yeah
01:17:50Right?
01:17:51I love seeing you guys
01:17:53Like you, the little birdies floating the nest
01:17:55And on your own, doing well
01:17:56You both did really good
01:17:58Sochi, you look so serious
01:17:59I'm just like, I'm gonna kiss someone else
01:18:01You both did great
01:18:02This is a really hard one
01:18:04Especially because it's boy and girl opposite
01:18:05And yeah, it's hard to compare
01:18:07So we'll see
01:18:08Yeah, yeah
01:18:09That's called a champion stare right there
01:18:11It was a champion stare
01:18:12Well, first of all, I love the irony of the fact that Val trained both of these ladies
01:18:17I think it's incredible
01:18:19You did a great job, Val
01:18:20You did a great job
01:18:21Well done, Val
01:18:22He's gonna win
01:18:23He doesn't win
01:18:23Well done
01:18:24Well done
01:18:24Um, echoing what they said
01:18:27It was amazing
01:18:27By the way, Robert and Sochi, the chemistry?
01:18:29Excuse me
01:18:30It was so wonderful
01:18:35It was so pure
01:18:35It was so fun
01:18:36Joyful Alex and Joey
01:18:38This is a hard one, guys
01:18:40I have no idea
01:18:41All right, Tom
01:18:42All right, you guys were great
01:18:43But in my last comments
01:18:45As a judge
01:18:46I want to talk to the network
01:18:47This show is setting ratings, records again
01:18:51So next season
01:18:52Bring back the result show
01:18:53Yeah
01:18:54Let the whole country vote
01:18:56Let everyone vote
01:18:58Let everybody vote
01:18:59That's the man who likes to be
01:19:01All right, y'all
01:19:02Head on up to the skybox with Julianne for your scores
01:19:05As our nation observes Veteran Day
01:19:08We want to give our sincere thanks to all those past and present
01:19:13Who have sacrificed so much for our freedom
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
01:19:26All right
01:19:27Let's start with Alex
01:19:29How different was it dancing with Joey versus Val?
01:19:32I mean, it was a little different at first
01:19:34Definitely got a few punches to the face
01:19:37But it was
01:19:39It was great
01:19:40Hi
01:19:41And yeah, I mean, it's crazy
01:19:43Joey looking for the ops
01:19:43Joey looking for the ops
01:19:45I didn't mean to hit her in the face, okay?
01:19:47I didn't mean to
01:19:48I'm sorry
01:19:48I think it turned out great
01:19:50It was great
01:19:51It 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
01:20:02That was good
01:20:02And 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
01:20:11Like it's really crazy
01:20:12But honestly, we just had too much fun in rehearsal
01:20:15It was, I mean, I kind of felt bad
01:20:17Whitney, you had to
01:20:18You really had your work cut out for you
01:20:20I love it
01:20:22Well, you know what?
01:20:22Let's get to it
01:20:23Carrie-Anne, which couple gets the judges' points tonight?
01:20:25Okay, well, I honestly think this one was the toughest one to decide
01:20:29So the winner of the relay dance is
01:20:33Robert and Sochi
01:20:35So 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
01:20:45In the semifinals, Alfonso
01:20:46Wow, thanks, Julianne

01:20:52At the top, it's a three-way tie with Dylan and Daniela
01:20:55Robert and Whitney
01:20:56Whitney and Mark with 42

01:21:00Now here are all the voting details for all of our couples

01:24:00I'm a different person
01:24:01Because of this show
01:24:03And because of this woman right here
01:24:05None of this would have happened without her
01:24:07She knew how to use me
01:24:10We created a thing together
01:24:11And it was just
01:24:12TikToks and dancing
01:24:14And, you know
01:24:16And it exploded
01:24:17It's crazy
01:24:18So it's been wonderful
