It’s another week of competition as 10 celebrity and pro-dancer couples compete on the fourth week of the 2019 season of Dancing with the Stars, live, Monday Oct 7 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
Vying for America’s vote, each couple will dance to a variety of hit and well-known songs including Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary,” Shawn Mendes’ “If I Can’t Have You,” Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose,” Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight,” and Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” among others.
The show will open with the couples entering the ballroom to “Hey Look Ma, I Made It,” by Panic! At the Disco. In addition, as part of ABC’s “Cast from the Past” week, where iconic TV show and film talent reunite in episodes on the network’s comedies and dramas, Dancing season 17 alumni Leah Remini will be a guest judge for the very first time. At the end of the broadcast, the third celebrity pair will leave the competition.
Each Monday night, the live vote (via abc.com, the ABC app and SMS/text) will be combined with the judges’ scores and tabulated in real-time, with the bottom two revealed during the broadcast. And for the first time in Dancing history, voting has been changed this season where the judges will decide which celebrity up for elimination stays in the competition and which celebrity’s journey comes to an end.
The live votes will occur each week only during the live broadcast in the EDT/CDT time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window).
The couples are (with their dance choice) the following:
- American Idol alum and country artist Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko (Foxtrot)
- The Bachelorette Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten (Paso)
- Model and photographer Sailor Brinkley-Cook and Val Chmerkovskiy (Cha Cha)
- X Factor USA alum and pop star Ally Brooke and Sasha Farber (Jive)
- The Office actress Kate Flannery and Pasha Pashkov (Argentine Tango)
- TV host and Queer Eye star Karamo and Jenna Johnson (Tango)
- Comedian and actor Kel Mitchell and Witney Carson (Cha Cha)
- Two-time NBA Champion Lamar Odom and Peta Murgatroyd (Viennese Waltz)
- Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and Lindsay Arnold (Paso)
- TV and film actor James Van Der Beek and Emma Slater (Quickstep)
