Karina Smirnoff’s Dancing with the Stars Blog: Why I Threatened to (Literally) Whip My Partner Victor Espinoza into Shape – For Victor’s dance, we are doing the jive. The dance and the music will really just be there to support the story because it is such an important week. We are focusing on where Victor is from and what kind of life he’s had and how he has been shaped into the man he is today. For Tuesday, you’ll get to see pictures of the pro dancers from when we were little. I immigrated to America from the former Soviet Union so we didn’t have video cameras when I was growing up, but you’ll also see some dancers’ home movies. – Read more at People

The Voice is a huge hit, but it hasn’t produced any superstars. Why do you think people keep coming back to it? – The winners have all been remarkable performers with amazing voices, but the music world is so complex. It’s tough to break through. The benefit of this show is that audiences love to watch ordinary people have the national opportunity to showcase their talent. As a culture, we’re constantly rooting for the underdog, so that’s the real appeal of the show. – Read more at EW.com
