Dancing with the Stars has us captivated and we are hooked!
Halloween night took over the ballroom during the Week 7 episode on October 28th. nine remaining pairs fell into a terrible spirit.
During the episode it was revealed that Elaine Hendricks was hospitalized after suffering a rib injury during rehearsal. She and her partner Alan Bersten were judged from a taped rehearsal. The actor is recovering and doctors have cleared him to continue participating in the competition if it continues into next week.
Meanwhile, two-time Mirrorball champion Cheryl Burke joined as a guest judge and the “Dance Monster-thon” returned to “DWTS.”
In the ballroom, couples simultaneously danced the Hustle and then the Lindy Hop. The judges then selected the pairs one by one. Those who stayed on the dance floor longer received extra bonus points before the last duo standing was crowned the Dance Monster winner.
The bonus points received were added to the judges' scores for the first round of dance to determine the final overall leaderboard for the evening.
Last week the “Pentatonix” singer Scott Hoying and partner Riley Arnold dropped out. after an exciting “Wicked” night.
