How The Season 25 ‘DWTS’ Teams Are Preparing For Week 3
Two teams have already said their goodbyes on Season 25 of “Dancing With the Stars,” and as the competition heads into its third week, teams are working extra hard to make sure they won’t also need to say an early farewell to the competition.
Heading into the new week, the remaining 11 teams, who bid goodbye to both Barbara Corcoran and Keo Motsepe and Debbie Gibson and Alan Bersten in week 2, are preparing routines for a “Guilty Pleasures” themed night. For the various routines, teams will be dancing to songs they consider to be their guilty pleasure. At the end of the night, one more team will be eliminated when their judge’s scores and viewer votes from week 2’s Latin night are tallied.
Here’s how the teams spent the weekend rehearsing:
Team Fish Upon A Star
After staying near the top of the leader board, it appears Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold have been hard at work trying to make sure they stay there. The duo didn’t share too much in terms of updates this weekend, save for a single post by the “Hamilton” star, where he was sitting in a rehearsal studio staring ahead with an intent look on his face.
Team STARK
Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas not only took to the studio to practice their moves for their jive, but the two also made sure to take a break and share their musical talents with fans as well. Both shared a video on Instagram which showed them jamming to their guilty pleasure song, “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go,” with Lindsey playing the violin as Mark accompanied her on an acoustic guitar.
The two still made sure to take time out to practice their jive however, with the violinist joking that it had taken a toll on her because of the routine’s physical demands.
Team A Team
It was also a busy week of prep for “Pretty Little Liars” star Sasha Pieterse and Gleb Savchenko, with the pair each taking to Instagram to share images as they practiced their routine, which seemed to be influenced by a bake-off.
Sasha also seemed to indicate that during rehearsals, Gleb took things too far, joking that she was never going to allow him to come to her house again.
Team Hot Property
Drew Scott and Emma Slater made sure to put in the practice time this weekend, with the “Property Brothers” star sharing an image of them in hold during one rehearsal, sharing excitement over the fans getting to see it on the show.
He also took to Instagram a second time to hint that he and Emma had slacked off for a little bit at one point, but then remembered that the cameras were there catching their every move.
Team ViVA
Victoria Arlen and Val Chmerkovskiy both took to Instagram to share an image of themselves laying on the floor after rehearsing. While Val opted for a black and white shot and expressed gratitude to the show, Victoria hinted that there had been a lot of work put into the routine, and that laying down was necessary because of it.
Team Hoops And Heels
Rehearsal also proved to be a good time for Sharna Burgess and Derek Fisher to have a little fun with one another, as they jokingly pushed one another out of the way in a video, where they seemed to be fighting for time in front of the camera.
Team Mom And Pops
After falling behind their respective spouses for two weeks in a row, Nick Lachey and Peta Murgatroyd worked hard on their routine over the weekend, and seemed to be excited by what they came up with, with Nick asking fans to venture a guess at what their guilty pleasure number would be.
Team Smackdown
After landing on the bottom of the leaderboard for the first time after Latin Night, Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev have been hard at work perfecting their Viennese Waltz.
However, the routine will still likely have a cheeky and sultry element to it as well, as Artem shared a post on Instagram that shows Nikki seductively pulling his tie from his shirt.
Despite scoring the first nine of the season and landing at the top spot on the leader board after Latin night, Team Franney Pack kept their rehearsals off social media, which means Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson will likely once again surprise fans with their routine. Also not sharing updates were the fellow top performing Team Babies and Ballroom, a.k.a. Vanessa Lachey and Maks Chmerkovskiy, as well as the lower-scoring Team Getcha Popcron, a.k.a. Terrell Owens and Cheryl Burke.
“Dancing With the Stars” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
