Dancing with the Stars returned with a new episode on Tuesday, Sept. 23, following last week’s star-studded premiere. Tonight’s theme was One-Hit Wonders Night, and all 14 couples danced to unforgettable hits from “What Is Love” by Haddaway to “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls.
Longtime judge Carrie Ann Inaba rejoined the judging panel alongside Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough after missing the premiere last week due to being sick. One-Hit Wonders Night kicked off with an opening number, choreographed by pro Emma Slater, by the troupe to “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” by C&C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams.
With all contestants safe during last week’s premiere, two couples faced elimination, reducing the celebrity lineup to 12. Jordan Chiles, Jen Affleck, Robert Irwin and Whitney Leavitt received the night’s highest scores — all earning at least one eight — while the lowest-scoring contestants, Corey Feldman and Andy Richter, received fives.
