Halloween Night performances and guest judge
Halloween Night featured various styles, including Tango, Argentine Tango, Paso Doble, Contemporary, Jazz, and Viennese Waltz.
Each couple performed to songs aligned with the spooky theme.
Among the judges, the vote was managed by Cheryl Burke, guest judge with the regular panel of Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli.
Cheryl Burke, who was a professional on DWTS for 17 seasons, came back for a short time to give her very own and based-on-her-experience kind of feedback.
It was co-host Alfonso Ribeiro who informed the audience that, due to an injury, Elaine Hendrix was not available to dance in the ballroom.
She was taken to the hospital for evaluation, but remained in the competition, with her rehearsal footage being used for scoring purposes.
