‘Dancing With The Stars’ Switch It Up: New Surprise Partner Pairings

Dancing With The Stars will be very interesting tonight … Each contestant has been forced to switch partners and is going to be dancing with a new choreographer this week. It’s very risky as many viewers are attached to certain teams, rather than just specific celebrity contestants or certain choreographers. There’s no telling how this will go or how it could affect the voting. Here’s the list of the new pairings below, according to Latin Post:

Nene Leakes who is usually with Tony Dovolani will be paired with Derek Hough.

Candace Cameron who is usually with Mark Ballas will be paired with Tony Dovolani.

Charlie White who is usually with Sharna Burgess will be paired with Peta Murgatroyd.

Drew Carey who is usually with Cheryl Burke will be paired with Witney Carson.

Meryl Davis who is usually with Maksim Chmerkovskiy will be paired with Maks’ brother Val.

Danica McKellar who is usually with Val Chmerkovskiy will be paired with Val’s brother Maks.

Cody Simpson who is usually with Witney Carson will be paired with Sharna Burgess.

Amy Purdy who is usually with Derek Hough will be paired with Mark Ballas.

James Maslow who is usually with Peta Murgatroyd will be paired with Cheryl Burke.


Apparently, the couples who are struggling are Meryl and Val, Cody and Sharna, Danica and Maks, and Amy and Mark.

On top of the switch up, DWTS alum Julianne Hough will act as a guest judge for the second time tonight.
