‘Dancing With The Stars’ Semifinals Spoilers: Judge’s Choice, Who’s Dancing What Headed Into The Finals

Dancing with the Stars heads into the eighth week of competition, the show’s semifinals, with six celebrities trying to score a spot in the finals and lots of controversy surrounding the remaining Season 27 participants.

Pure DWTS reported that six people in the semifinals would normally mean a double elimination, but it was leaked that the show was considering heading into the finale with five couples and cut them down to three on night one.

Three remaining couples would then vie for the season’s mirrorball on night two.

The site reported that the celebrities’ first dance will be dedicated to a meaningful person in their lives, so plan on some tear-jerker moments between the video montage prior to the dance and the dance itself. Their performance will be to a dance style not yet danced.

The couples’ second dance will be Judges’ Choice, which is always a fun way to get Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tognoli, and Len Goodman out from behind the scoring table and onto the dance floor. Each couple will be challenged to perform a style of dance they previously danced, but this time with entirely new music.

Pure DWTS reported that for the first dance, each couple will perform a Waltz, Salsa, Contemporary, or Argentine tango.

For the Judges’ Choice dance, each will perform a Jive, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Salsa, or Cha-cha.

Both dances will be combined for a final tally of points.

Several of the remaining couples that are headed into the semifinals continue to come under scrutiny for their inclusion in the finals when other seemingly more competent dancers have already been eliminated, including Bachelor contestant Joe Amabile and radio host Bobby Bones.

Here are the songs and dances the remaining celebrities will perform tonight.
