Actress Kirstie Alley, Disney star Chelsea Kane, and NFL player Hines Ward are all the celebrities left on this season of Dancing with the Stars. For their final Monday show, the judges get to pick their first dance and mentor the celebrities; after that, it’s the infamous freestyle dance round.
There’s just four celebs left now and inter-couple tensions are on the boil. For this episode, the workload is high. It’s the semi-finals, which means two new routines and then a winner-take-all cha-cha for 15 bonus points. Prior to each number, we’re treated some behind-the-scenes footage that’s cut to show the perilous physical and mental edge that Dancing With the Stars contestants must walk if they hope to cut the mustard.
We are down to five couples in Season 12 Week 8 of Dancing With The Stars and this week saw our couples do two dances. One rehearsed and then an Instant Dance where they learn the music and then go and rehearse while the other couples are dancing. That’s a lot of pressure, but at this stage in the game they must be pretty used to it.
It’s Guilty Pleasures Night on Dancing with the Stars, despite the fact that just watching DWTS IS the guilty pleasure. Couples dance to music considered "guilty pleasures". Hanson is guest house-band this week, and they all look strangely overgrown, but then it has been a Bieber lifetime since they've been on the airwaves.
Dancing with the Stars opened its 12th Season on ABC this past week, and did so with a group of run-of-the-mill "celebrities" called “dull” by the press. Without a Tom Delay or Bristol Palin-- or even a Cloris Leachman in all her octogenarian glory-- there probably won't be a lot of headlines written about this season to boost news circulation.
