HOW IT WORKS:During the live shows, judges will give a score
based on several factors, including technical execution. But the
judges' scores alone do not decide a couple's fate.
Phone lines,
text votes (AT&T customers only)and online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that
viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone and text lines will stay
open for 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will
remain open until noon (Eastern Time) the next day.
In the
Dancing with the Stars Results Show*, the couple with the lowest
combined score from judges and viewer votes will be eliminated from the
competition**.
The scoring is divided evenly between the
judges and the viewers at home, ensuring unpredictable outcomes at the
end of every show. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate
dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.
*The Dancing with the Stars Results Show will premiere Tuesday, March 17 at 9/8c.**Week
2 - On Tuesday night, the two couples with the lowest combined score
from judges and viewer votes will compete in a Dance Off. Their
original set of judges scores will be tossed out and they will perform
the same routine again for a new set of judges scores. The new set of
scores will be combined with their viewer votes from Monday night and
the couple with the lowest combined total will be eliminated.
Viewers can vote via phone, text message or online for their favorites ONLY on the night they perform.
