Tonight was the “Switch Up” episode of the season for Dancing With the Stars with Maksim Chmerkovskiy returning to the ballroom as a guest judge. Many of the contestants received harsh criticism from the judges with their new pro partners and there were several mixed reviews. Those who were praised included Jodie Sweetin, Nyle DiMarco and Ginger Zee. In the past, there have been “Switch Up” shows where no one was eliminated. So, was that the case tonight? No one was eliminated tonight.
In recent shows, Doug Flutie and Jodie Sweetin have found themselves at the bottom of the votes, just escaping elimination.
