There has been much buzz surrounding DWTS this past week after judge Carrie Ann Inaba’s dance critique of Jenna Johnson and Harry Shum Jr.’s Week 5 routine. After making a social media comment aimed at Inaba, pro Val Chmerkovskiy was given a one-week suspension, and Jenna Dewan will dance with eliminated pro Alan Bersten tonight. Chmerkovskiy is expected to return for Week 7.
The judges’ scores and fan votes will be combined to determine which couple has the lowest score and will be eliminated tonight.
