Dancing with the stars: Movie Night (9/30)

THE SMALL SCREEN MEETS THE BIG SCREEN … IT’S MOVIE NIGHT!
THE 11 CELEBRITY AND PRO-DANCER COUPLES COMPETE ANOTHER WEEK ON
ABC’S ‘DANCING WITH THE STARS’ FOR THE COVETED MIRRORBALL TROPHY,
MONDAY, SEPT. 30

Second Elimination for the 2019 Season

“Movie Night” – Lights, camera, action! It’s Movie Night as 11 celebrity and pro-dancer couples compete on the third week of the 2019 season of “Dancing with the Stars,” live, MONDAY, SEPT. 30 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. (TV-PG, L) Episodes can also be viewed the next day on ABC.com, the ABC app and Hulu.

Vying for America’s vote, each couple will dance to a variety of songs inspired by the celebrity’s favorite movies including Wilson Philips’ “Hold On,” “Here We Go Again” from Mamma Mia!, Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman,” Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” Selena’s “Dreaming of You,” Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow” and Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” among others.

The show will open with a behind-the-scenes look at some movie magic on our very own “backlot.” Weaving through three “movie sets” on the way to the ballroom, viewers will run into our stars and pros as they make their way to stage! In addition, the broadcast will include a special Star Wars moment.

Each Monday night, the live vote (via abc.com, the ABC app and SMS/text) will be combined with the judges’ scores and tabulated in real time, with the bottom two revealed during the broadcast. And for the first time in “DWTS” history, voting has been changed this season where the judges will decide which celebrity up for elimination stays in the competition and which celebrity’s journey comes to an end.

The live votes will occur each week only during the live broadcast in the EDT/CDT time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window).

The couples are (with their dance choice) the following:
Country artist Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko (Tango)
“The Bachelorette” Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten (Rumba)
Model and photographer Sailor Brinkley-Cook and Val Chmerkovskiy (Tango)
