The new Dancing with the Stars recap comes from a really fun episode. The top six couples got to take part in Boy Band & Girl Group Night on DWTS. It required each couple to perform two dances on the night.
Last week, Kate Flannery was the celebrity that went home. She had been performing with professional dancer Pasha Pashkov, and they had received a lot of support from the judges. The fans just didn’t vote enough for them.
The duo of Sean Spicer and Jenna Johnson had the lowest scores last week, but they survived to battle again. Sean’s original partner, Lindsay Arnold, suffered a death in her family, causing her to take time off from the show.
For the new DWTS episode, two guest judges were ready to share the panel with Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli. Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) of the Spice Girls and Joey Fatone of *NSYNC were scheduled to be there to help.
Bunton was supposed to judge the girl group performances but wasn’t able to make it to the show. Fatone stepped in to cover for her and also judge the boy band dances.
