"DWTS: Athletes" Week 1 Recap: Well, That Was Quick(Step)

Excuse us for a sec—we’re still recovering from extreme whiplash. Approximately five minutes after we watched the 10 couples of “Dancing with the Stars: Athletes” perform for the first time, we were forced to say goodbye to two of those dynamic duos. During the premiere. Such are the perils of this accelerated, 4-week season of […]

"DWTS" Finale Recap: And the Mirrorball Trophy Goes To…

What a week in the “Dancing with the Stars” universe, amirite? After we bid farewell to Drew Scott and Emma Slater on Monday (in a surprise to pretty much nobody, despite the duo’s strong performance in a super-fun freestyle that evening), it was time, last night, for Season 25’s Grand Finale. And goodness, I don’t […]

"DWTS" Week 10 Recap: A Semi-Finals Showdown

We’re coming down to the wire on “Dancing with the Stars,” and it’s getting harder and harder to decide which of the remaining couples should hang up their dancing shoes. This week, the contestants were put to the test with two routines: one required the pros to choreograph a dance to a song that they […]

"DWTS" Week 9 Recap: It Takes Three, Baby

We’ll be honest: After 25[,000,000] seasons, we didn’t think “Dancing with the Stars” had any more tricks up its sequined sleeves. But then, last night, the show snapped us out of our spray-tan-fume–induced stupor by bringing back some of our favorite alums for the trio round. Another chance to see Laurie Hernandez and Alfonso Ribeiro […]

"DWTS" Week 7 Recap: This Is Halloween

“Dancing with the Stars” was basically designed for Halloween episodes, what with its emphasis on stage fog and amazing-bordering-on-insane costumes. But while we were expecting lots of delectable treats from last night’s Halloween spooktacular—including the first round of team dances, always a good time—we weren’t expecting the ep’s final trick: a double elimination that actually […]

"DWTS" Week 5 Recap: Disney Classics Dazzle on the Dance Floor

Week five of “Dancing with the Stars” proved to be one of the best weeks of the season so far. (And we’re not just saying that because Mickey made a cameo debut on the piano during one of the routines—although that certainly didn’t hurt!) Everyone brought their A-game, and with such a fun theme the […]

"DWTS" Week 4 Recap: Thanks for the Memories (and Please Pass the Tissues)

Not to pull a Captain Obvious or anything, but the “Most Memorable Year” episode of “Dancing with the Stars” is always, um, super-memorable. Each celeb performs in a number that recalls (often painful or extremely difficult) personal memories, and the result is an emotional doozy. Celebs are crying, pro partners are crying, I’m not crying, […]
