Next Week is halloween Night on DWTS - S23

Week 08 is halloween Night

on Season 23

Week 08 of Season 23 will be halloween Week on Dancing with the Stars.

Also occurring next Week will be the Ballroom's always exhilarating Dance-offs, during which, the Couple with the Highest overall Score in Judges Points will receive automatic Immunity from Week 08’s dreaded Elimination AND automatic Immunity from having to participate within the impending Dance-off Event.

In addition, that same, lucky, High-scoring Couple will ALSO receive 3 Extra Bonus Points to be added to their Night’s Scores.

Next, the evening’s remaining 6 Couples will then be divided into 3 separate Groups, each consisting of 2 Couples per Group.

The ensuing Groups will be divided by selections that are made by the remaining, 6 Couples themselves.

(Confused yet?  Hang in there and I’ll explain!  …)

The Couple with the SECOND Highest overall Score in Judges' Points is next allowed to choose an opposing Couple to Face-off against in an all out and often epic, one-on-one (Or, in this particular case, Two-on-two!) Daring Dance-off!!

In order to even things up a bit within the incurring, Dance-off competition, the Couple Chosen to be an opponent by the former is then allowed to choose between 1 of 3 Choices of Ballroom or Latin Dance Styles offered by the Show itself.

Following this event, the Couple with the next Highest overall Score in Judges Points on Week 08’s Leader Board will select their opponent … and so the cycle continues on until all 6 participating Couples are divvied up.

The Winner of each Dance-off will then receive an additional 2 Extra Bonus Points to be added their Night’s Scores, thereby bettering their chances at escaping Elimination that same evening.

Week 08 will then, of course, conclude with an Elimination, sending one more unfortunate Couple home from the DWTS Ballroom and the remaining 5 that much closer to the Show's glittering Mirror Ball Trophy!

Finally, and capping off the Week's frightening Theme, DWTS' Head Panel Judge, Len Goodman, will once again be absent from Monday Night's Dancing escapades, and will furthermore remain so until the Season's Finals on Week 11.

I cant believe I’m forced to say this TWICE within the same Season, but … Don’t GO, Lenny!!

(You’re killing me here, Goodman!)

The Dance-offs kick off LIVE on Monday evening, and – believe you me! – you DON’T wanna miss it!!

Guess Who’s Ba-a-a-ack?! – DWTS, S23

Len Goodman Returns

to DWTS For Week 07

of Season 23!!

DWTS Head Judge Len Goodman

It’s a grim day for all of Season 23’s Celebrity Competitors, but a GREAT day for Fans of the Show, as Dancing with the Stars' strictest and one and only Head Judge, Len Goodman, makes his way back to the Program’s beloved Glitter Dome and sets “his” Ballroom proper!

DWTS Head Judge Len Goodman

Returning for Week 07 of the Season, following a 3-Week hiatus, good ol' Lenny will preside over DWTS' always fabulous Eras Night, during which the Show's remaining 8 Couples will vie for that hard-earned and yet MOST gratifying “10” from Len while recreating through dance a memorable era from the past or taking an artistically expressed “peek” at the future!

It sure to be a rip-roaring, high-stepping, Ballroom and Latin Dance Extravaganza-of-a-good-time, and I, for one, cannot wait to see you there, Len!!

Len Goodman Returns to England - S23

DWTS Head Judge,

Len Goodman,

Takes Temporary

Leave of Absence

Len Goodman

Dancing with the Stars' beloved Head Judge and any sensible Fan’s Favorite, Len Goodman, is scheduled to cross back over The Pond once more to judge England’s version of the Celebrity Ballroom Competition, Strictly Come Dancing.

SCD is, of course, the annual, Reality Series originator of our own – Is it at all PC to add the words “much better here”?? – biannual DWTS.

“Len’s going to be away from us for a couple of weeks,”

Explained DWTS' Host, Tom Bergeron, of the situation during Week 03’s Tuesday Night Results Show,

“Because … [he’s] not just our Judge in the Fall …”

“Right.” Added Goodman,“I have to do the British Show, Strictly Come Dancing … it started it all.”

Now normally, DWTS' strictest Judge – Len – would essentially pull off the impossible from week to week, within each and every one of the Ballroom’s Fall Seasons, and fly back and forth, along with fellow Judge, Bruno Tonioli, to and from England in order to judge both SCD and DWTS at the same time.  … YIKES!  … But, alas, Len himself expounded,

“And, the problem is, you know, I’m getting on a bit – it’s difficult to fly every week there [and then] back.”

 Still, the Head Judge made sure to put “his” beloved Ballroom in order, while keeping DWTS' 11 remaining Couples – rather appropriately -  on the tips of their dancing-toes as he gave this parting warning,

“… I’m going to miss … [Judging DWTS] because I’ve enjoyed – so much – watching the progression.  But I’m going to be well informed [of] what’s going on, so … make sure that it’s a Ballroom Competition!  It’s not all about Razzle-Dazzle, show us some proper Ballroom.”

(Oh snap!  … And, erm, <Ahem!> is anyone else thinking that the Show timed their new Circus du Soleil Theme just right?? )

In any case, this dwtslover will certainly be missing Len … <Breaking down in mock sobs>  Don’t go, Lenny!!

… Oh, right, I suppose that is rather a moot plea at this point, so I’ll revise:

Hurry BACK, Lenny!!
