Len Goodman returns to the Dancing with the Stars judges' table on Monday night, just in time to critique the eight remaining couples during both their Eras Night performances and the Week 7 team dances.
For one couple, it won't matter if they get a perfect score on Monday night because one celebrity and their pro dance partner will be going home at the end of the show. According to ABC, the couple with the lowest combination of judges' scores and fans' votes from last week's Latin Night performances will be eliminated on the episode that airs October 24.

Even a stunning performance this week won't save the couple who ended up with the lowest combined scores last week (judges + fans' votes). When Amber and Maks went home last week, it wasn't a huge surprise, but some viewers are wondering why Ryan Lochte is still around.
Ryan has been at the bottom of the leaderboard all season, so it's clear that his fans are helping him out by voting up a storm online or by phone. (Check out the Inquisitr's full list of Dancing with the Stars Season 23 voting phone numbers here.)
Maureen McCormick hasn't been able to top the leaderboard all season, so it won't be a big surprise to find out that she's in jeopardy. However, her fan support seems to be strong, so let's see if the former Brady Bunch star can hang on for another week.
Here's how everyone ranked last week (check out the complete Week 6 recap here). Will their scores, combined with votes from fans, help the couples move forward or will the three celebs who scored the lowest last week (Maureen, Ryan, and Terra) be in jeopardy of going home on Monday night?
- Jana Kramer — 40
- James Hinchcliffe — 38
- Calvin Johnson, Laurie Hernandez — 37
- Marilu Henner — 34
- Maureen McCormick — 31
- Ryan Lochte, Terra Jole — 30
And while you wait, perhaps you may want to revisit one of the steamiest dance routines of the season — Jana and Gleb's Latin Night Tango.
