Dancing With the Stars Recap 11/18/13: Season 17 Episode 10 “Who Was Voted Off?”

Tonight on ABC Dancing With The Stars returns with all the glitz, glitter and drama.  On tonight’s episode the competition heats up as the remaining five couples compete in the semi-finals.  Also Maksim Chmerkovskiy returns to the ballroom and for the first time participates as guest judge.  Did you watch last week’s episode when the celebs learned an individual new dance and participated in a group dance?  We did and we recapped it right here for you.  If you missed any of the performances from last week, we have all the videos HERE for you to watch!

On last week’s show the couples competed in two rounds of dance. In the first round, each couple took on an individual dance in a style they had not previously performed including the Viennese Waltz, Tango, Charleston, Argentine Tango and Quickstep. In the second round, the couples took on a new challenge and dance with an eliminated pro or troupe member as part of dynamic trio. The trio dance routine will be in a style the celebrity has not yet performed including the Samba, Jive, Salsa, Paso Doble and Jazz. At the end of the night, Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Val Chmerovskiy were sent home.

On tonight’s show it will begin with a spectacular opening number by Emmy® Nominated choreographer Mandy Moore, featuring the pro dancers. The couples then must rise to a new challenge and perform to two different versions of the same song. In the first round of competition, the couples will perform either a Jazz, Paso Doble, Cha Cha or Tango routine to an original or “plugged” version of their selected song. In round two of competition, the couples will perform either a Viennese Waltz, Argentine Tango or Rumba routine to an acoustic or “unplugged” version of that same song.  At the end of the night, one couple will face elimination.
