Emmitt Smith News

Talk Show Listings For Thursday, November 1

ATTENTION EVERYONE: We will not get to send someone home this week. Elimination was were replaced by a bunch of so-so dances, instead. And so many insanely awkward televised moments that luckily ABC doesn't have to apologize for because everyone expects Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli to act like complete crazed loons! Wahooooo. For them to do otherwise would be heresy.

Well, we're going to be deprived of an elimination this week - thanks to the third Presidential Debate tonight. So, yes. No elimination. It's solely a performance week, billed as "Guilty Pleasures" with the competitors split across two nights, where a group will perform their freestyle routine collectively, and the other group will give their individual performances. Oh, and hey! We're down to a single hour of broadcast. Bazing.

This week, it's 'Guilty Pleasures Week,' as the competition gets extreme with two nights of performances and no elimination, on "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars." During night one, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), four couples will dance to their selected 'guilty pleasure' song while the other four couples will perform their Freestyle Team Dance in the ballroom. On night two, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23 (8:00-9:01 p.m., ET), the four couples who performed their Team Dance on Monday night will dance their individual dances to their selected 'guilty pleasure' song, and the other four couples will take their turn on the dance floor with their Freestyle Team Dance. Judges' scores and viewer votes from Monday and Tuesday night will be added to the following week's scores and votes.

Tonight's decision of inviting Paula Abdul to guest judge on the same panel as Carrie Ann Inaba, an act known as turning the entire cock-a-doodie universe on its head, can only be described as either the most ingenious or most cruel thing broadcast television has ever done to an audience. I mean, those women, as shrill and confusing as they are, make for great TV.

"Episode 1504 & 1504A" - Monday night the competition heats up with world famous choreographer and recording artist Paula Abdul joining the judges in the ballroom as a special guest judge. For the first time in the show's history, the couples will perform new dance styles that their competitors have chosen for them, MONDAY, OCTOBER 15 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television network.

BroadwayWorld brings you a look at last night's elimination episode of DANCING WITH THE STARS!

After last night's opening to Iconic Dance Week on DANCING WITH THE STARS, Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas found themselves shuffling their tap shoes, heads down in defeat at the bottom of the score board. After hearing some viewers' opinions on her performance/personality, Bristol (like her mother) seems to suffer from the "Palin Syndrome": a pop culture infection that basically makes everyone wish you would go away.

Johnny Avello, Director of Race & Sports Operations at Las Vegas' WYNN Hotel has predicted the odds of winning the first-ever season of ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS ALL-STARS. Check out his predictions below!

There are some nights when DANCING WITH THE STARS is just completely overdone. When it traipses from drag-Cher glam to distracting. This was the case with tonight's episode of DANCING WITH THE STARS: ALL STARS. Sometimes it just makes you wonder if, when it comes to costuming and scripting and effects and adjectives, the cast threw a wine, craft, and vodka day at the studio.

On last night's episode of DANCING WITH THE STARS, the 'All-Stars' were given a choice between the jive and quickstep. BroadwayWorld brings a look at their performances below!

Has anyone noticed the cute, shameless plugging the contestants of DANCING WITH THE STARS partake in on Twitter? These guys are synergistic, cross-promoting, social media moguls! Example 1: Kirstie Alley asked Kristin Chenoweth for a sympathy vote this weekend. Cheno was naturally happy to oblige. She's Broadway/the planet's resident 'nice girl,' after all.

How did you guys watch the first All-Star take a bullet on the fifteenth season of DANCING WITH THE STARS? I ate a whole frozen pizza and tried to convince myself that Emmitt Smith wasn't Matthew McConaughey. Seriously, their cool-guy swag is identical!

DANCING WITH THE STARS contestants Drew Lachey, Emmitt Smith, Gilles Marini, Helio Castroneves, Apolo Anton Ohno and Bristol Palin answer fan's twitter questions and explain why they decided to return to the dance competition's All-star season. See what they had to say below!

Let's all take a moment, and let out a collective and exhaustive, "UGHHHHH." Dancing with the Stars is back. For the 15th time. I know, guys. I'm sorry. Just when you think the airwaves can't get even more clogged with televised rot.
