“Dancing with the Stars” returns tonight, September 17, for its 33rd season with 13 new celebs competing for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy. Every week those contestants will perform in a new dance style and be judged and scored by Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli. Those scores will then be combined with viewer votes to determine who stays and who goes. But nobody’s going home tonight. According to ABC, “Live viewer votes from the first two weeks of competition will be combined with the judges’ scores from both weeks to determine which couples may be in jeopardy of elimination after two weeks of dancing.”
ABC also revealed which dances the stars will be performing and which songs they’ll be dancing to. Those performances are as follows:
— Super Bowl Champion Danny Amendola and pro Witney Carson will perform a Tango to “A Bar Song (Tipsy) [Remix]” by Shaboozey and David Guetta.
