Nick danced a beautiful and elegant Viennese Waltz
on TV Night to the theme from Downton Abby.
The performance earned Nick & Sharna all 9’s,
tying them at the top of the Leader Board with Alexa & Mark
(who had performed a Jazz routine earlier to the theme from
Breaking Bad). Here, upon receiving his scores, an elated
Nick accidentally dropped and broke a glass 
which was given to him to hold
following his period piece dance,
causing DWTS co-Host, Erin Andrews, to burst
out with laughter! 

Bindi & Derek were so great TV Night when
they danced an amazing Quickstep to the theme
from the Jeffersons!

DWTS Band Leader, Ray Chu, certainly had plenty
of reason to smile Monday night,
as he and his talented Band and Singers did a fantastic
job of accompanying the the Night’s TV-themed dances!

How about a big hand for DWTS’ live Band,
Ray Chu Live, who did a
splendiferous job for Season 21’s TV Night! – Week 03

Kim Zolciack Withdraws From The Competition – DWTS S21, Wk03

Zolciak Drops Out

Due To Health Issues –

DWTS Season 21,Week 03

Kim & Tony

Season 21 contestant, Kim Zolciak, officially Withdrew from the competition Monday night after apparently suffering from a small Stroke during the previous week.

The Atlanta Housewife seemingly recovered rather quickly from this competitive set-back, with reports circulating throughout the week of Kim’s Professional partner, Tony Dovolani, rehearsing with Zolciak in her hospital room for the Couple’s upcoming I Dream of Genie-themed Samba.

Noting that her “health” came first, Zolciak wound up being a no-show for DWTS’ TV Night, despite gossip to the contrary, leaving Tony to perform their Samba with help from obliging Troupe member, Jenna Johnson.

Upon dancing the lively (and incidentally, very well-choreographed) routine, Dancing With The Stars Host, Tom Bergeron, joined the very good humored Tony on the dance floor to solemnly announce The Pro and Reality star’s departure from the show.

Kim Zolciak was contacted live during the announcement where she was asked to give an update of her current predicament.

"Kim Zolciak was contacted live ... "

Zolciak informed the Audience and fans at large that, while she indeed felt ready to dance, her Doctor had advised her against any flying at this time, hence Zolciak’s absence from the live show.

After quoting a section of DWTS’ rules, set for the show in 2006 when the show debuted, that confirmed Zolciak’s requirement to Withdraw from the program, and one or two Lawyer quips, the affair was ended.

As a result, the night’s pre-scheduled Elimination was subsequently canceled, much to the relief of the remaining competitors.

REVIEW:  Kim & Tony

Kim Zolciak and her Professional partner, Tony Dovolani, began their Week 02, 2-night competition with the dancing of a Quickstep.

Hometown Glory Week

An incredible improvement over last week, to be sure - definitely not as “spaced out” as her previous dance - and, Tony, the choreography of this routine was loads of fun!

As for this Couple’s second performance, the Foxtrot, I thought that it rated a “Pretty good,” but not at all "great".  The choreography from Tony was enjoyable; and, perhaps if it had been danced a little better, this routine might have reflected that fact!

Kim Zolciak at the beginning of
what looked like a very promising routine ...
 Salsa is really hard for week 01; but,
I didn't see any Salsa. Instead of dance, there was
a constant "spaced-out stare",  zero content, and
total lack of fluid movement (or any movement!).

Kim & Tony dancing what they called a Salsa
DWTS Season 21, Week 01
Honestly, in my opinion, this was one of the
worst dances of the night.  I mean, it had so
much potential ... what with the song, the
setting, the Troupe dancers! ...
What went wrong? (sooo many things!)

Kim & Tony's Salsa
DWTS Season 21 Week 01
This entire routine was just ... wrong ...
sooo very wrong!
I really like Tony so I hope that they can do
better next Week! ... please? ... because I really don't
 want to see this pose again ... ever!

REVIEW: Kim & Tony

Kim Zolciak and her Professional partner, Tony Dovolani, kicked off their Season with a sub-par Salsa to "Hey Mama" by David Guetta, featuring Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha, and Afrojack.

Kim Zolciak & Tony Dovolani

A television personality and a Singer, Kim is perhaps best known for starring in Bravo’s' hit Reality Series, The Real Housewives of Atlanta (along side Season 18 contestant and former Dovolani partner, NeNe Leakes!), 

Tony's old Partner with Tony's new Partner:

and from her subsequent spin-off series, Don't be Tardy (formerly entitled Don't be Tardy For The Wedding as the show focused on Kim's Wedding Preparations with then Fiancé Kroy Biermann).

As a Singer, Kim has also released three singles,“Tardy for the Party” (2009), “Google Me” ((2011), and “Love Me First” (2012).
