'Dancing with the Stars' Season 29 Episode 6: Who Left Last Week & What to Expect Tonight
Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars waltzes back onto ABC tonight with its sixth episode. While this year has had fun theme nights like "Disney Night" and "'80's Night," tonight is being billed simply as "Top 11." The one bit of information ABC has been pushing off to the press about tonight is what it hypes as an anticipated dance routine with former dancing pro partner turned judge Derek Hough, who will be performing alongside his girlfriend Hayley Erbert, a former troupe member on the show. The two will grace the stage by doing a Paso Doble to "Uccen" by Taalbi Brothers.
A six-time champ, Hough left Dancing with the Stars as a pro partner after finishing in sixth place with Marilu Henner on Season 23 in 2006. Otherwise, the focus of tonight's show will likely be, as the title suggests, the top 11 couples remaining. No new dances are set to be introduced this week after jazz and contemporary debuted last week.
Those 11 couples left, the dance they'll be performing, and their song selections will be:
Star and coach on Netflix's Cheer Monica Aldama and Val Chmerkovskiy, dancing a rumba to "Have I Told You Lately" by Rod Stewart.
The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev, performing a samba to "Sorry" by Justin Bieber.
Former NFL star Vernon Davis and Peta Murgatroyd, doing a cha-cha to Celebration" by Kool & The Gang.
Disney Channel actress Skai Jackson and Alan Bersten, also doing a cha-cha, though to the more contemporary sounds of "Say So" by Dojo Cat feat. Nicki Minaj.
Actress Justina Machado and Sasha Farber dancing a Viennese waltz to Billy Joel's "She's Always a Woman."
Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean and Cheryl Burke, performing a samba to "Mi Gente" by J Balvin and Willy William.
The Real's host Jeannie Mai and Brandon Armstrong dancing a rumba to "You Gotta Be" by Des'ree.
Grammy-winning rapper and singer Nelly and Daniella Karagach doing a Viennese waltz to the sounds of "Humble and Kind" by Tim McGraw.
Catfish star Nev Schulman and Jenna Johnson performing a jazz dance to "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause and Gleb Savchenko doing a contemporary dance to "Stars" by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
Professional figure skater Johnny Weir and Britt Stewart will dance a salsa to "On The Floor" by Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull.
Already eliminated from this season are former NBA power forward Charlies Oakley, Tiger King star Carole Baskin, actress Anne Heche, and actor Jesse Metcalfe. Vernon Davis and Peta Murgatroyd were nearly eliminated last week, while the latter suffered a neck injury.
Naturally, the first big impression of the night comes with Tyra Banks' entrance and outfit.
"Dancing with the Stars" airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.
