‘Dancing With the Stars’ Week 4 Episode Preview
The synopsis for the new episode reads, “Thirteen celebrity and pro-dancer couples compete for the fourth week of the competition.”
Highlights for the episode will include AJ McLean and his partner Cheryl Burke dancing to the Backstreet Boys song “Larger Than Life” and judge Derek Hough performing on the DWTS ballroom stage for the first time since 2017 (accompanied by his girlfriend Hayley Erbert).
Kaitlyn Bristowe will be dancing the Viennese Waltz and dedicating her performance to her boyfriend, Jason Tartick. Ahead of the week 4 episode, Bristowe shared a sweet note to Tartick on Instagram. In a post, she wrote, “Cheers to you Mr Jason Tartick. Tonight my dance is for you. My rock, my lobster, my rock lobster. You are such a joy to be around. You’re always lifting me up instead of holding me down, stealing my heart instead of stealing my crown. Ok those are Kacey Musgraves lyrics but I meant it. You are always there to build me up and champion my dreams. Tonight my dance is for you. I love you.”
So far this season, NBA star Charles Oakley and Tiger King star Carole Baskin were eliminated. This year, DWTS has once again given the judges the final say in who goes home each week. Once the scores and votes are added up to determine the bottom 2 couples, the judges vote on who to save based on their performance so far in the competition and potential to improve moving forward.
New episodes of Dancing With the Stars season 29 air on Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.
