DWTS’ Lacey Schwimmer Out with Flu
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News
Another week calls for another substitution.
Although Season 8 of Dancing with the Stars was riddled with celebrity injuries, Season 9 has been hit on the professional side. Two weeks ago, Derek Hough was temporarily replaced by Maksim Chmerkovskiy when he was hit with the flu. Now, Lacey Schwimmer is using up one of her sick days.
On tonight’s broadcast, Anna Trebunskaya will play the part of Mark Dacascos’ partner. Anna originally stepped in this weekend to help the Iron Chef America star rehearse, but her role later increased when Schwimmer’s condition worsened. Unfortunately, this last-minute shuffling only gave the pair two days to learn two dances (the samba and a group paso doble.)
So how is Lacey feeling right now? Well - according to a tweet from earlier today, not great. “Guys I’m super sad to be sick today. Ugh,” she wrote.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial
After 9 weeks of competition, it all came down to this: Dancing with the Stars’ Season 7 Finale.
Tonight, the remaining three contenders each had to tackle two dances - a freestyle number and a group samba performance (a.k.a. the Samba Smackdown).

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 9 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News
Last night’s episode of Dancing with the Stars was dramatic on many fronts. With the finals hanging in the balance, the competition was already intense. Then Brooke performed…and the whole game changed.
After weeks and weeks of being near or at the top, Burke did something unthinkable right off the bat: she scored a 21 for the Jive. That was the lowest score she had ever received during the whole season. Although she nicely rebounded with her second number (she got a 28 for her Salsa), the door was already left open for Brooke’s fellow challengers.
Fortunately for Lance Bass, there couldn’t have been a better night for him to peak. Yesterday, Lance and Lacey got their first 10 ever…three of them. They were also the only couple to break the 50 point mark. (Their total was 57.) Will the inconsistent competitor be able to keep up this momentum in the finals? (Assuming the voters even put him there?)

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 9
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars
Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, the four contestants were each given a private Master Class session with Len Goodman. With next week’s finals on the line, the celebrities were happy to accept any advice that they could get.
For this week’s semifinal round, the dancers first had to perform a style they hadn’t individually tried yet. The second half of the show was then devoted to new styles introduced this season (the Salsa and the Jitterbug).
Who proved they were worthy of a Top Three finish…and who needed more of the head judge’s help? Read on!

Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, the five remaining celebrities did their best to prove they were worthy of a spot in next week’s semifinals. In addition to two individual numbers (no group performances this time), each amateur was challenged with a 15-second solo within their Latin routine.
Who earned their way into the Final Four…and who was simply the odd man (or woman) out? Read on!

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 7
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars
On this week’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, the producers had one more surprise in store for both the competitors and the audience.
In addition to their solo numbers, the six pairs had to perform in the first team dance. After being split into two groups of three (captains Warren Sapp and Susan Lucci were responsible for the assignments), the teams were then charged with working together on an ensemble performance. Unlike last Monday’s previous group hip hop number, these two performances - a Cha Cha Cha and a Paso Doble - were actually being scored. (Those scores would then be added to the individual totals.)
Who showed us they could work in unison…and who still needed work on their solos? Read on!

DWTS’ Lacey Schwimmer Also Diagnosed with Endometriosis
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News
Just days after Julianne Hough announced her leave of absence, we’re learning that another DWTS professional has been diagnosed with endometriosis.
According to The Insider, Lacey Schwimmer just discovered that she too had this medical condition. Strangely enough, Julianne was the reason Lacey found out.
Once the 20-year-old realized she had symptoms similar to the ones Hough had, she went in for an evaluation. Her doctor informed her yesterday of the news. Fortunately for Lacey (and Lance), her situation will not require surgery. Because the condition was diagnosed early, medication is the only thing necessary at this time. Meanwhile, Julianne has already undergone surgery and is reportedly “at home resting comfortably.”
Endometriosis is the development of uterine-lining tissue outside the uterus on the surfaces of organs in the pelvis or abdomen where they are not supposed to grow. It is a common medical condition found in 5-10% of women of reproductive age around the world.
