During the 8 o'clock hour, ABC's DWTS: All Stars -- The Results Show outdrew NBC's The Voice in head-to-head competition by nearly 1.0 million viewers.

Now that we're down to the nitty-gritty of DANCING WITH THE STARS, (or, at least as much 'grittiness' as possible) fan-favorites are all on the chopping-block. This late into the game, with next week being the semi-finals, only text messages and the flail-about voting methods of Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba separate the contestants from the proverbial blade. Len Goodman's scoring record is sound.

It's double-elimination week on DANCING. Ahh, yeah. Cue the fireworks, cue the victory dance, cue the dramatic intros and sobs and cheering and flying rainbow-colored horses. Double-elimination is like a snow day. It's like a snow day of ice cream on top of another snow day of pizza!

Monday night's performance show on "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars" will include two rounds of competition for the seven remaining couples, a Ballroom and Latin Trio round. In honor of Veterans Day, the first round will feature performances to songs that pay homage to servicemen and women. During the Latin Trio round, each couple will be joined by an eliminated pro or Troupe dancer, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. The audience will also be joined by members of several branches of the Armed Forces, including two former Marines, William Franco Vasquez and Nick Jones Jr., who will be special guests on an episode of ABC's hit comedy "The Middle" on November 14.

Check out a look back at last night's episode of DANCING WITH THE STARS, featuring the contestants performing for 'Fusion Week', below!

According to Deadline.com, PETER AND THE STARCATCHER's Eric Petersen is set to join Kirstie Alley in TV Land's 'Giant Baby.' Petersen will play Alley's l'ong-lost son.'

In honor of the exorbitantly important elimination tomorrow - you know, the one that will essentially determine what sort of country America will come to be known as in the near-future (also, vote) - DANCING WITH THE STARS is foregoing their own elimination this week. Instead, we'll be treated to a double-elimination next week.

During this week's two-hour performance show on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), the seven remaining couples will perform a fusion dance that has was chosen by their competitors on last week's show. The show's opening number, choreographed by Henry Byalikov, will feature The Troupe and four pros from the season. Later in the night, after the couples' individual rounds, they will all take the dance floor for a swing dance marathon with the chance to add up to 10 extra points to their scores for the night. The couple in first place will get 10 points, the couple in second place will get 9 points, the couple in third place will get 8 points, the couple in fourth place will get 7 points, the couple in fifth place will get 6 points, the couple in sixth place will get 5 points and the seventh place couple will get 4 points.

As if "Country Week" wasn't bad enough, it also brought with it one appalling elimination. ATTENTION READERS: a good number of you are going to be pretty upset. Tonight's shocker is only second to earlier this season when Bristol Palin wasn't sent home. So, uh, keep reading - or don't if you're prone to destroying your television and/or computer with a hammer.

WYNN LAS VEGAS' Johnny Avello has released the odds of winning ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS ALL-STARS. Check them out below!

Hurricane Sandy may have bumped most original programming from the air tonight - but not even she can keep the pseudo-celebs of DANCING WITH THE STARS from stomping across that stage.

Deadline reports that TV Land will soon play host to a 'Cheers' reunion. Kirstie Alley and Rhea Perlman, co-stars of the long-running NBC comedy will be joining forces on a new Broadway-themed comedy pilot titled GIANT BABY for the cable network.

Rhea Perlman will reunite with longtime friend and former 'Cheers' co-star Kirstie Alley in the pilot 'Giant Baby,' it was announced today by Keith Cox, executive vice president, development and original programming, TV Land. Perlman will play Thelma, Maddie's (Alley) long-suffering assistant and best friend, who encourages her boss to form a relationship with the son she gave up for adoption, Arlo (previously known as 'Owen'). The network originally announced the Alley-headlined project as a presentation last month.

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.
