Dancing with the Stars	comment	Dancing with the Stars is a US reality show where celebrities duke it out on the ballroom dance floor, assisted by their professional dancer partners. The show has hosted two competitions per season since winter of 2006 (summer of 2005 was a one-off). The humor of the early weeks is in seeing the dancers trying to train the celebrities in the vagaries of each of the many styles of ballroom dance.The show initially starred Tom Bergeron as host, with Lisa Canning serving as his co-host in season one. Samantha Harris co-hosted seasons two through nine, with Brooke Burke-Charvet replacing her for seasons ten through 17. Erin Andrews was brought in beginning with season 18, and continued with the show all the way through season 28, at which point both Tom and Erin were replaced by Tyra Banks. Previous winner Alfonso Ribeiro joined as co-host in season 31. The judges are Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli, with former professional dancer Julianne Hough joining the panel as permanent judge in season 19. Derek Hough is the only professional dancer to have achieved six wins, a franchise record (he also achieved two back-to-back championships twice). Cheryl Burke and Julianne Hough also have won two championships back-to-back. Mark Ballas, Kym Johnson, Peta Murgatoyd and Val Chmerkovskiy are the only professional dancers in the show to have two wins that were not back-to-back. Tony Dovolani was the longest tenured professional dancer in the show, appearing in seasons 2 through 22, a total of 21 seasons.In general, it follows the Strictly Come Dancing celebrity formula: the show pairs a number of well known celebrities with professional ballroom dancers, who each week compete by performing one or more choreographed routines that are pertinent and follow the chosen theme for that particular week's prearranged theme. The dancers are then scored by a panel of judges. Viewers are given a certain amount of time to place votes for their favorite dancers, either by telephone or online. The couple with the lowest combined score provided by the judges and viewers is eliminated. This process continues until there are only two or three couples left; when they have competed for the last time, one couple is declared the champion. Of the contestants, usually at least one has a bit of controversy around them, at least one is a 50-plus-year-old man with two left feet, at least one is a B- or C- list actor or actress, at least one (in later seasons) is a social media celebrity, and at least one is famous in the world of sports (and these are most likely to win it all; eight of the eighteen winners have some sporting experience, with the rest (with the exception of J.R. Martinez) having dancing training beforehand).With the 31st season in 2022, the show moved from its longtime home of ABC to Disney+, becoming the latter's first live series. However, this turned out to be a temporary move, as the Writer's Guild strike the next year caused it to move back to ABC the very next season, though episodes would still be available on Disney+.The show has spawned quite a number of Foreign Remakes worldwide.

Dancing with the Stars / int_108c268e	type	Hotter and Sexier
Dancing with the Stars / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: The Argentine Tango, Salsa, Rumba, and the rarer Burlesque are far sexier and more sensual than the other dances, often invoking shirtlessness from the men and revealing outfits for the age-appropriate ladies. There are also dance pairs like Jana Kramer and Gleb Savchenko who have a steamy dance style between them by default. Bruno loves dances that go this route.

Most notably, the Chmerkovskiy brothers, Maksim (commonly referred to as the "Bad Boy of the Ballroom") and Valentin. Dancers will occasionally take off a season for various reasons, often with little fanfare, but when Maks decides to take a season off (or, as seen in seasons 21 and 22, returns as a guest judge), it makes the headlines. Tony Dovolani in season 18, if twitter #takehishirtoff is any indication.

It was enough that the latter requested that she bend her knees a bit so that she wouldn't tower over him in the dancing heels. Heavily avoided by the producers of the show when it comes to the 5'7" Sasha Farber. Most of his partners (outside of switch up weeks which are chosen by the public) have been less than or exactly five feet tall. As of this writing, his tallest partners have been, Tonya Harding and Justina Machado of respectively Seasons 26 and 29, both 5'1".

Dancing with the Stars / int_392372f9	type	Actor Allusion
Dancing with the Stars / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: The most notable of these will typically be when a singer appears on the show, and they dance to at least one of their own songs. In season 19, Alfonso Ribero's "Most Memorable Year" dance to Tom Jones's "It's Not Unusual" featured (in addition to the triumphant return of The Carlton Dance) a lovingly faithful recreation of the Banks' living room, as well as a Call-Back to Jones's role as Carlton's idol and guardian angel. In season 20, Willow Shields' Week 1 package features a direct allusion to The Hunger Games, as Willow, dolled up to resemble Effie Trinket, selects Val as her partner, only for Mark to volunteer instead, Katniss-style. Willow also danced a Hunger Games-inspired contemporary for Most Memorable Year. Nick Carter's stint in season 21 had many Backstreet Boys allusions scattered throughout it, most of them involving the claw move from the official choreography of "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)". A viewer-invoked variant happened in season 22. Because Jodie Sweetin and Val Chmerkovskiy danced together on Fuller House, many viewers were expecting them to be paired up when Jodie confirmed she would finally do the show... Only to reveal she was paired up with Keo Motsepe instead. So when the time came for the seasonal Switch-Up Night, the majority of the viewers, unsurprisingly, voted to pair up Jodie with Val. Any time an actor dances to a song from their famous TV show or film. Examples include Kim Fields (The Facts of Life), Lea Thompson (Huey Lewis' "Power of Love" from Back to the Future), and both Florence Henderson and Maureen McCormick (The Brady Bunch; and no, they weren't on the same season). Kim's dance deserves mention because in it, she looked almost the same as she did when she played Tootie back in The '80s. The TV theme week from season 23 kind of went crazy with this. Besides McCormick, three other contestants that night - Jana Kramer, Jake T. Austin and Marilu Henner - also danced to the themes of shows they appeared on. Kramer, who played Alex on One Tree Hill, danced to "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw, which was the show's Real Song Theme Tune. Austin, who voiced the title character on Go, Diego, Go!, danced to that show's theme, and while dressed as Diego to boot. Henner performed a foxtrot to "Angela", the theme from Taxi, on which she played Elaine. Suzanne Somers' Three's Company foxtrot in season 20. It even opened with a short skit that had her basically reprising her role as Chrissy Snow. For her Most Memorable Year dance, Evanna Lynch danced to "Hedwig's Theme" from the Harry Potter film series, in which she played Luna Lovegood. Elizabeth Berkley, who played Jessie Spano on Saved by the Bell, was a contestant in Season 17. One of the most infamous moments from that show was Jessie's sudden and devastating addiction to caffeine pills for a Very Special Episode about drug use; Jessie's pill-fueled breakdown—"I'M SO EXCITED! I'M SO EXCITED! I'M SO...SO SCARED!"—is a particularly Memetic Mutation. The Internet rejoiced, then, when Berkley had some fun during her Jive routine in Week Five by actually dancing to "I'm So Excited," and even recreating the hilariously over-the-top breakdown over her addiction to "jive pills" in a set that resembled her room from Saved by the Bell to introduce the dance. If a sports celebrity is associated with a team with a memorable theme song, you can bet they'll do a dance to it. Former Cubs catcher David Ross in Season 24 opened with a quickstep to Steve Goodman's "Go Cubs Go". A subtle one: in Season 18, Charlie White's contemporary includes this lift at the very end, which is the same lift used at the end of his and Meryl Davis' Olympic gold-medal winning free dance, just off the ice.

Take a drink every time you hear her described as a "ray of sunshine" or similar, and have poison control on standby for the inevitable liver failure. Kim Zolciak-Bierman of the same season. She had the lowest score of the premiere, with 12 out of 30. Her attitude in the next week's was "Where can you go from here but up?" Regardless of her struggles, she loved being on the show, and never lost her smile despite not being a strong dancer.

And as of Season 13, Nancy Grace had a nip slip after finishing her second dance. The camera awkwardly panned to show premade footage of audience members just sitting there staring. In season 14, professional dancer (not celeb) Maria Menounos had an unfortunate malfunction where one of her breasts popped out entirely of her top. Courtesy of the eight second delay, all home viewers saw was the Dancing With The Stars logo for a few seconds while she adjusted her top. Nick Carter popped the button of his pants during his first dance, but that went mostly unnoticed.

Dancing with the Stars / int_4bc2095b	type	One Head Taller
Dancing with the Stars / int_4bc2095b	comment	One Head Taller: Val Chmerkovskiy and Derek Hough are quite taller than their respective season 15 partners, Kelly Monaco and Shawn Johnson. The height difference is so striking that it borders on Huge Guy, Tiny Girl. One that probably does qualify as Huge Guy, Tiny Girl is the Season 6 pairing of 6-foot-1 Tony Dovolani with 4-foot-11 Marissa Jaret Winokur. See above for a pairing that absolutely does qualify in that category. Not to mention Season 23, where 5'7" Sasha Farber was paired with the 4'2" Terra Jole. Riker Lynch and Allison Holker. Riker is six feet tall and Allison maybe reaches his chin when she's in heels. A similar case is Nick Carter (6'0) and Sharna Burgess (5'6). This is particularly striking during Icons Night, in which they performed a Contemporary and Nick's wife Lauren, who is only a couple of inches taller than him, joined them onstage after the dance.

See above for a pairing that absolutely does qualify in that category. Not to mention Season 23, where 5'7" Sasha Farber was paired with the 4'2" Terra Jole.

Dancing with the Stars / int_5313c266	comment	Book Ends: Contestants who make it to the finale have to dance a prior dance, sometimes called a "redemption dance". Not universal, but some contestants who make it to the finale is to dance their very first dance on the show. A lot of times, it's for sentimental reasons, and other times to show growth, or both. Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced their Cha-Cha to Cee Lo Green's "Forget You". And in their case, this dance was their very first and very last. Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy danced their Foxtrot to Hozier's "Take Me to Church".

Erin Andrews' main job as sportcaster means she's absent for one episode in the fall seasons due to field reporting for the World Series, so both Leah Remini and Kym Johnson have had turns filling in for her.

Dancing with the Stars / int_7a3dd888	comment	Real Men Wear Pink: For a show that requires male participants to wear shiny sparkly outfits and dance, it has attracted a substantial amount of athletes from sports such as MMA, boxing, and football. Almost every season has featured a major name National Football League player. Season 12 alone featured Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, and Chris Jericho. In a more literal interpretation of the trope name, Tommy Chong wore a pink shirt once, only to tear it off and expose his man-boobs. Carlos PenaVega in Season 21 also wore pink, specifically in the promotional photoshoot for the season, in contrast with his wife Alexa in blue.

This isn't exactly unbelievable, since a large number of the winners have been pro athletes. The athletes simply do the show for fun either during retirement or during the off-season.

Dancing with the Stars / int_8687f945	type	What Were You Thinking?
Dancing with the Stars / int_8687f945	comment	What Were You Thinking?: Some people had this reaction to Nicole Scherzinger being let on as a contestant in Season 10. A group of amateur celebrity dancers vs. a woman who dances for a living... nope, no unfair advantage there, no sir. The same was said for Stacy Keibler (a member of WCW's Nitro Girls dancing troupe and an NFL cheerleader before that) in season 2. Same with Sabrina Bryan, who had studied Jazz and Tap most of her childhood, and actually released a Dancing fitness video called BYOU, and Kristi Yamaguchi, Evan Lysacek, Charlie White and Meryl Davis, who were professional figure skaters (essentially professional dancers on skates.) And with Zendaya, whose current show centers around a dance-style variety show. It could be said that professional dancing celebs are brought on to counter the athlete celebs. Until J.R. Martinez won in season 13, you had either a celeb with dancing experience or an athlete win it all (six dancers and seven athletes so far). The official stance of the show (at least initially) was that ballroom is very much its own domain, and having experience in another area of dance (hip-hop, tap, music video choreography, etc.) doesn't really lend itself to ballroom (with the obvious advantages of stamina, flexibility, etc.) They have said that they would veto anybody with a blatant disadvantage, such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, but that may have changed in recent seasons. Letting Bristol Palin compete on All Stars, who was a mid-tier dancer in her season. Perhaps a better example: Bringing on contestants who were clearly too elderly and frail to handle a grueling dance competition, like Cloris Leachman or Buzz Aldrin. Leachman wrote in her memoirs all contestants do have to pass a basic physical, though the standards might not be very high. Season 17, making Julianne Hough and Maksim Chmerkvoskiy as the replacement judges for a week. Does the producers think that she will not generate envy or getting personal to the pros? Maks guest judges again in Season 22 with two opportunities for bias - judging brother Val Chmerkovskiy and then-fiancée Peta Murgatroyd. Also in Season 17, Corbin Bleu. A trained dancer and regular Broadway actor. Totally not destined for the finals, right? Season 18 probably had the biggest one of all with Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms being invited as guest judge. You could see the pro dancers were clearly displeased with this decision. (Still, you can argue that Abby had some dancing knowledge along with fellow guest judge Julianne Hough. Her delivery of critique though, made people scratch their heads.) Season 19 has Alfonso Ribeiro, former Broadway child star and backup dancer for Michael Jackson. Season 20: the show strikes again with 14-year-old The Hunger Games star, Willow Shields; most people are wondering if this will work because, while Dancing with the Stars is a family show, some of the dances are a bit sexy for a young teen to be doing on national television, especially when her partner, Mark Ballas, is 28. Also in Season 20, Riker Lynch, who happened to be a cousin of Derek and Julianne Hough. For the same reason as Nicole Scherzinger listed earlier, when Glee’s Heather Morris joined Season 24, who served as a backup dancer for Beyoncé and was initially hired on Glee as a choreographer. Didn’t make her early elimination any less shocking though. Again in season 30 with JoJo Siwa, who made her television debut in Dance Moms. Also, any time a celebrity becomes a contestant after doing something controversial. This includes a couple of controversial politicians, such as Rick Perry in season 23 and Sean Spicer in season 28. Paula Deen was on season 21 after her n-word scandal blew up. In season 23, Ryan Lochte was a contestant right after his lies about being robbed at gunpoint were exposed as a cover-up for he and his friends' vandalism of a gas station at the 2016 Rio Olympics. In fact, in the first episode a group of protesters were in the audience with two of them running onto the dance floor after Lochte's routine; the show cut to a commercial as they were tackled by security and arrested while the rest of the group got kicked out of the studio. Season 30 had Olivia Jade, who was one of the students at the center of the college admissions bribery scandal.

For the pros, Kym Johnson returned in season 20 as a professional dancer after taking three seasons off to judge the Australian version of the show. One season later, Karina Smirnoff, Louis van Amstel and Anna Trebunskaya all returned, although they didn't exactly last long in the competition. Season 22 brought back Edyta Sliwinska, after an eleven-season absence, who ended up being the first eliminated pro. It's not uncommon nowadays for pros from earlier seasons to come back; season 23 has Cheryl Burke, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Derek Hough returned after some absences on the show. Of those three, only Maks returned for season 24 as a competing pro (Cheryl and Derek did make appearances, but just as guest performers promoting their respective tours, Love on the Floor and Move Beyond). Season 24 also saw the surprising return of Kym, who reportedly only agreed to come back due to being offered Mr. T as her partner.

Dancing with the Stars / int_9d17b859	comment	Made of Iron: They may look willowy and fragile, but it would be hard to argue that these dancers aren't tough, especially the women. Julianne Hough was back and dancing less than a month after having an emergency appendectomy. The winner, however, might be Kym Johnson, who endured a knee injury with Jerry Springer and kept dancing, and a nearly broken neck with Hines Ward, and went on to win. Not surprisingly, she's an Aussie. Mark Ballas suffered a back injury in season 16 but went on to dance with Alexandra Raisman; in season 18 during the dress rehearsal his right shoulder pop out the night before their scheduled freestyle performance in which he hoisted his partner Candace Cameron Bure with her legs wrapped around his shoulders and swung her around (amazingly, he did not change the choreography and went on to do that very same lift!) Downplayed with Derek Hough in midway Season 20, where he injured his toe on a foot lamp during rehearsal for the 10th anniversary episode and then-troupe member Sasha Farber stood in as Nastia Liukin's partner. However, Derek surmised that he would be good to go within 2 weeks at most to continue his New York show which he had been simultaneously doing with Season 20. And he was able to return to do a Viennese Waltz dance in the semifinals. In Season 23 Sharna Burgess injured her knee in week 7 so troupe member Jenna Johnson took her place as James Hinchcliffe's partner. Sharna returned two weeks later for the Week 10 semifinals...and her first dance routine back involved both her dancing on top of a chair and doing the whole routine blindfolded.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, pros whose celebrity partners are eliminated are demoted to opening group numbers, commercial bumpers, and the occasional trio dances until the finale. Season 21 tried to invoke this by having troupe member Jenna Johnson as the go-to replacement for incapacitated female celebs, with her taking Kim Zolciak-Biermann's place during her I Dream of Jeannie-themed samba on TV Night, almost replacing Tamar on the duet rumba with Nick and Sharna (it didn't actually happen due to Tamar's last-minute return to the studio, but the outtake reel shown during the finale confirms it), and performing a foxtrot to Alessia Cara's "Here" with Val as his season closer as Tamar was still in the hospital with pulmonary embolisms. Jenna finally became a pro in Season 23... only to be the first eliminated...and then won the show in her second.note She took Season 24 off, and was a troupe member in Season 25.

Noah Galloway has a prosthetic leg, though he's also missing his left arm (he planned to wear a prosthetic left arm for his week 3 Argentine Tango, but he had trouble handling the prosthetic and discarded it). There's also been three deaf contestants: Marlee Matlin, Nyle Dimarco (who even won the whole shebang), and Daniel Durant. Season 25's Victoria Arlen developed severe neurological and autoimmune conditions that essentially locked her inside her own body for four years, and she had to re-learn how to speak, eat and move from scratch. By the time she was a contestant she had regained nearly everything except the feeling in her legs, which means that every dance she does requires that much more effort.

Dancing with the Stars / int_ce9f550c	comment	My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: A little miscommunication happened once with Nyle DiMarco and his partner Peta Murgatroyd. Nyle is deaf and relied on visual cues to do the dancing. At one point they were dancing separately and she motioned him to walk over to her. It was supposed to be a flirty "Come hither" gesture, but the exact motion she used (with four fingers together) is the ASL sign for "Get over here right now!", causing Nyle to run to her, which briefly threw off their timing. They were able to play it off, however, and neither the judges nor the viewers knew the difference.

Now, it become a fierce competition that the celebrities learn how to dance different styles professionally, and dancers like her (like Bristol Palin and Bill Engvall) are now thought as controversial and undeserved to win the show. Season 18 became rather controversial with the three finalists: champion Olympic skater Meryl Davis (basically a professional dancer on ice), runner-up Paralympic snowboarder Amy Purdy (a double-legged amputee with a limited moveset) and actress Candace Cameron Bure (who's not used to live TV competition).

Dancing with the Stars / int_e8280765	comment	Harsh Talent Show Judge: Len Goodman's judging style isn't quite mean-spirited, but much more demanding and critical compared to his fellow judges. He's more likely to base his comments on the actual dance: if Len says it was good, it was very good, and his criticisms virtually always relate to something the dancer needs to work on. On the other hand, if a performance was genuinely bad he won't pull his punches, as during the second season when he told Master P essentially, "You don't care, you aren't trying, you don't belong here, it's time for you to go home," in the third week.

Dancing with the Stars / int_ea480f92	type	Simple, yet Awesome
Dancing with the Stars / int_ea480f92	comment	Simple, yet Awesome: Kellie Pickler's freestyle counts as this. Instead of doing a super-sized freestyle, her partner, Derek Hough, decided to just focus on the dancing and the emotion. Their contemporary dance was by far the best freestyle of season 16. It happened again in season 21, this time with Bindi. Season 18 had Meryl Davis and partner Maks Chmerkovskiy do a contemporary freestyle to a ballad version of Disclosure (feat. Sam Smith)’s “Latch” with no ensemble nor props in order to highlight their partnership just as much as their dance skills (both of which had been highly praised throughout the season). Len summed it up at the end: Season 20 during America’s Choice week, in which viewers were able to suggest elements (dance style, costume, theme, etc.) to be used in routines, Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy were chosen to do a “classic, ultra elegant, like the good old days” rumba, which consisted of just the two of them dancing to Doris Day’s “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps”. They not only got the season’s first perfect score (40), but Len praised them for not needing an ensemble of people and extra “bells and whistles” to produce a great routine.

Dancing with the Stars / int_ef3d1b57	type	Technician Versus Performer
Dancing with the Stars / int_ef3d1b57	comment	Technician Versus Performer: Season 1. Kelly Monaco (the Performer) won it over John O'Hurley (the Technician). Hotly contested, enough so that the two couples squared off in a TV special which O'Hurley won. Another pair of examples, different seasons, are Season 11: Audrina Patridge (the Technician) and Carson Kressley (the Performer). Patridge was even told multiple times by Bruno "you have excellent foot work, but you look like a Barbie." Many of the seasons start out eliminating the "terrible" performers and then working to the "uninteresting" technicians. Then the balanced dancers and finally to those that have a balanced mix of both. Many times, the line can be drawn between current and former pro athletes (Technicians) vs. actors or musicians (Performers). The athletes usually have exceptional coordination and strength; however, since so many sports encourage a "game face" that shows zero emotion to avoid showing an opponent you're tired or in pain (which might give them a psychological advantage), they come across as wooden. The actors, on the other hand, are much better at emoting and generally being entertaining (it is their job, after all), but are much more likely to be uncoordinated or simply more vulnerable to fatigue. This was actually discussed at least once by the pro dancers. Among the judges Len Goodman favors techniquenote Though, the video under Four-Point Scale has him outright telling everyone that a ten from him takes performance, technique, shining personality, chemistry, and "that magical something that lights up the ballroom", so it's not entirely technique while Bruno Tonioli favors performance. Carrie Ann Inaba and Julianne Hough tend to strike a balance between the two. Season 26 mostly averted this trope: it was actually titled Dancing with the Stars: Athletes, with all 10 celebrity contestants being current or former athletes. That said, the trope still existed on another level, with the three figure skaters as the "performers" and the remainder as "technicians". And two of the three figure skaters made the finals, with one of these winning it all. The celebrities listed under The Ace were also some of the most endearing of celebrities with full exposure of vulnerabilities, and they had some of the best skill and technique in their respective seasons. They accomplished the difficult task of being Technicians and Performers rolled into one powerhouse.
