Tuesday’s Dancing: What You Didn’t See
Tight-Knit Group: As the dancers continue to get eliminated, the group appears to be getting closer. Throughout the night, celebs and professional dancers were always reaching out to each other and giving hugs and pats on the back. Before the dance-off, Michael Irvin, his partner Anna Demidova, Louie Vito and his partner Chelsie Hightower exchanged big hugs with each other. What? No fights? “I thought about it, but this is a family show,” Vito joked.
A Ghoulish Night: Every Tuesday before the show goes live, the dance floor turns into a dance party for the guests of the show. Since Halloween is days away and it was the premiere of Michael Jackson’s This Is It, guests learned the steps to “Thriller” and performed it all the way through. Derek Hough, a fan of Jackson and who also performed the famous routine last week for the show’s tribute to the King of Pop, watched on from behind the stage.
Cheek-to-Cheek: After the show, judge Carrie Ann Inaba and host Tom Bergeron got a little cheeky. While Bergeron was being interviewed, Inaba walked by and slapped his derrière. Without missing a beat, Bergeron asked, “What about the other one?” Inaba was happy to oblige. “We are family,” she joked.
Iron Man: Mark Dacascos has not forgotten about his day job as host of Iron Chef America. After Tuesday’s show, Dacascos flew to New York to tape his show and his dance partner Lacey Schwimmer planned on meeting up with him on Wednesday. “While he’s working, I’ll be shopping,” she says.
Three Witches: The witches of ABC’s Eastwick were in the studio audience watching elimination night. Actresses Sara Rue, Lindsay Price and Rebecca Romijn were spotted laughing throughout the night. They’re all big fans of Dancing with the Stars, but Rue had a plan if Dacascos got eliminated. “I was told by my fiancé that if the guy from [Iron Chef] went home, to pick up my chair and throw it on the dance floor. Those were my instructions. I’m glad it didn’t happen,” Rue says.

The flu strikes again....
First it was Derek and Mark, now it has struck Lacey. Mark Decascos tweeted that he'll be dancing with Anna Trebunskaya on Monday. Lacey is too sick to continue this week.

When will these stars learn that a simple flu shot could help? Just because you are young & in great shape doesn't mean you won't get the flu! I have the same complaint with lots of sport stars as well.... :angel:

Flu Bug Strikes Dancing with the Stars Again
The latest flu victim on Dancing with the Stars is Lacey Schwimmer, who was hit hard by the virus on Thursday while traveling in New York with her dance partner, Iron Chef America’s Mark Dacascos.
From her sickbed Sunday night, Schwimmer tells PEOPLE she’s “thrilled” fellow pro Anna Trebunskaya was available to fill in at the last minute. “I have total faith in Anna. I know she and Mark will have perfect chemistry and hopefully I’ll feel well enough to cheer them on backstage.”
Meanwhile, Schwimmer says she hopes fans “remember to vote so Mark and I can dance next week!”
Trebunskaya received a call Friday night to sub in for what she initially thought would be one day of rehearsals. But when Schwimmer’s condition worsened, Trebunskaya was asked to perform with Dacascos on Monday night’s live show.
“I was supposed to help him out and train on Saturday,” Trebunskaya says. “But Lacey got really sick and when she got back from New York. [Filling in] has definitely been a challenge.”
That’s because Dacascos had to learn two routines — the samba and the paso doble, which is this week’s group dance — in two days.
“We rehearsed 12 hours Saturday and again Sunday,” says Trebunskaya, who was paired earlier this season with ultimate fighter Chuck Liddell. The two were eliminated in week four of the competition.
Schwimmer is not the first DWTS professional to come down with the flu. Derek Hough and Mark Ballas were both ill this season.
