What Else to Expect This Week
Tuesday’s 20th anniversary episode will also feature the return of former Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron, who will join the panel as a guest judge for the night alongside permanent judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli.
Additionally, Deadline reports that this week’s return of the relay dance round will feature a new twist. The celebrities will be dancing without their professional partners, instead teaming up with a returning Mirrorball champion from a past season. The identities of these champions has yet to be revealed.
The relay dances will feature a quickstep, a Viennese waltz, and a jive. Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas have immunity from the relay round due to their high scores throughout the season, and they will automatically receive two bonus points without having to perform.
