Why 'DWTS' Is Taking a Break Before 500th Episode Special


A new episode of 'Dancing With the Stars' won't air on Tuesday, November 5, due to the U.S. presidential election

The pause gives the remaining couples — Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, and Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach — a brief break in their battle for the mirrorball trophy. Some familiar faces are expected to return for the celebration, but Carrie Ann Inaba played coy when asked whether she and her fellow judges will put on their dancing shoes. The competition will be undoubtedly fierce when the final six couples return to the ballroom next week.. Nearly every pair received a 10 from at least one judge during the Halloween Nightmares episode, which aired on October 29.
