Dancing with the Stars Season 34 is on to Week 9, featuring a who's-who cast worth tuning in for. If it's your first time watching the show, the gist is this: celebrities (actors, athletes, reality stars) are paired up with professional dancers. Together, they compete with a new dance each week for a shot at winning the Mirrorball Trophy. This year, the Dancing With the Stars cast includes conservationist Robert Irwin, The Traitors star Dylan Efron, Olympian Jordan Chiles and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt.

This season is once again hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough and judged by Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli. Are you ready to tune in? You can catch DWTS live on ABC and Disney+. Episodes 1-7 are now available to stream on Hulu/Disney+ if you need to catch up. Tonight's episode is Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, featuring guest judge Flavor Flav! Here’s everything you about how to watch Dancing with the Stars.

During Week 8 of DWTS, Danielle Fishel and her partner Pasha Pashkov were eliminated. The pair danced a contemporary to Aerosmith's “Dream On.” And while they got solid feedback from judges, the fan vote wasn't enough to save them in the bottom two.

Andy Richter and Emma Slater joined them in the bottom two (a trend this season), but were ultimately spared from elimination by the fan vote.
