It’s a big week on Dancing with the Stars , with the remaining six couples performing both America’s Choice and Trio dances on Monday, followed by the season’s first live results show on Tuesday.
With the Season 20 finale just two weeks away, the competition between the celebrity dancers and their pro-dance partners is really heating up. According to ABC, “America’s Choice Night” begins at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, May 4, with the songs and wardrobe of all six couples chosen by fan votes.

In addition to the America’s Choice performances, WetPaint reports that fans will get to watch each contestant perform a Trio dance with their partner and one eliminated pro-dancer or member of the DWTS troupe. See a list of America’s Choice dances and the Trios below.
For the first time this season, the live results show will air on a separate night (May 5). A double elimination is in store for the remaining six couples, so Monday night’s performances are very important. The scores will be a combination of the judges scores from Week 7 (Eras Night), this Monday’s performances, and public votes.

After the double elimination, the four remaining couples will move on to the Semi-Finals, one week prior to the biggest night of the season — the Dancing with the Stars finale.
Which couple will be awarded the coveted Mirror Ball trophy on the finale? After the Week 8 double elimination, it may get a little easier to predict, but after Willow and Mark’s shocking elimination last week, fans may be surprised when the winner is announced.
