This week on DANCING WITH THE STARS, things were done a little differently. On this night of #DynamicDuos, the couple with the best score of the night was automatically immune from elimination. The other six competitors were pit against one another in a dance battle for bonus judges' points. Aside from the immune contestant, elimination went as planned.

Halloween came a little early this week on DANCING WITH THE STARS. On this seventh week of the reality competition show, ABC claimed viewers could expect a 'thrilling spooktacular night filled with scary and chilling performances.' Usually scary things freak me out, but was entertained. With the Halloween special, it is only fitting that DANCING's scariest judge returned...and in fashion during the show's spooky 'Heads Will Roll' opening number. I thought that was very clever and cute.

Tonight's #MuyCalienteMonday was, well...hot! With the competition heating up, our nine remaining couples were joined by guest judge and performer Pitbull on the DANCING stage. Now, I may not be a personal fan of Pitbull, but I was intrigued and impressed by how his judging was. I burned with anticipation for this episode! Okay, I'm done with the heat puns, I promise. Last week's Switch-Up made for some surprising pairs, and that was definitely fun to watch, but I was glad to see contestants back in their comfort zones.

Big things happened this week on DANCING WITH THE STARS. The theme for this Monday's episode was 'My Most Memorable Year.' That meant different things for different contestants, and I was intrigued by the song choices and the reasons behind them.
