It was all about the most viral hits during Week 2 of “Dancing With the Stars.”
After last week’s premiere and double elimination, hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough welcomed fans back to the ballroom for another week of literal twists and turns.
During the Sept. 22 episode, the remaining 14 couples hit the dance floor with routines that were inspired by viral hits and social media moments that have made headlines.
As they performed, they were judged by Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough, while viewers voted for their favorites online and via text.
First up was Jenna Dewan, who delivered a “fast, fierce and fantastic” routine, according to Derek Hough. Tyler Cameron took of his shirt and showed off his abs, while Julia Stiles worked on her confidence.
Read all about what went down during the Sept. 22 episode of “DWTS,” including the dances and scores of each couple.
