For the past two weeks, season 27 of Dancing With the Stars has been airing twice per week. The contestants, fresh into the competition, have had to perform two new dances each week, but now, the format has changed. With the Fall lineup for ABC continuing to pile up and the 2018 American Music Awards airing tonight, DWTS is not on TV on Tuesday nights anymore. There’s a chance that the finale of the season could air on a Tuesday, but, for now, the schedule will follow Monday nights exclusively.

Performances and the live results, along with eliminations, will air on Monday nights, from 8 – 10 p.m. ET/PT, on the ABC network.

Last night, the contestants performed to the theme of “Most Memorable Night”. And, the contestant who was eliminated with Nancy McKeon, who has been partnered with pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy. The rundown of the performances that took place last night, to bring you up to speed, were the following:

Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten – Contemporary – “How to Save a Life” by Ray Chew Live

Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess – Contemporary – “A Million Dreams” from “The Greatest Showman”
