Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 8) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Dancing with the Stars (season 8) Dancing with the Stars season eight Promotional Advertisement made by BLT & Associates Country of origin United States Network American Broadcasting Company Original run March 9, 2009 – May 19, 2009 No. of episodes TBD Celebrity winner TBD Professional winner TBD Previous season 7 The eighth season of Dancing with the Stars premiered on Monday, March 9, 2009, as part of American Broadcasting Company's spring line-up. The show will generally follow the format of previous seasons, with 13 couples, although there have been some changes, including three new dances (Argentine Tango, Lindy Hop and East Coast Swing), and a dance-off between the bottom two couples in order to determine who will be eliminated. The show will continue to be hosted by Tom Bergeron as well as Samantha Harris. Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba will continue to be judges this season. Originally, the season was advertised as the first U.S. season where a husband and wife would compete against each other: rodeo champion Ty Murray and singer-songwriter Jewel Kilcher. The two had married the previous year after a ten-year courtship. However, just prior to the series, Jewel fractured both her tibias and was unable to perform. She was replaced on the show by Playboy model Holly Madison. Murray chose to continue on the show, and Jewel appeared during the season as a special musical guest. Nancy O'Dell, co-host of Access Hollywood, was also originally announced to be on the show, but was forced to withdraw from the competition due to a torn meniscus, which will require surgery. She was replaced by Melissa Rycroft, a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who won The Bachelor's 13th season, but was dumped by Jason Mesnick in the "After the Final Rose" post-season special in favor of the show's runner-up. She only had two days to practice her first dance. This season, the show will be extended to 11 weeks. This is known by the fact that when advertising for the new season of The Bachelorette, ABC said that it would premiere on May 18, the night of the last DWTS performance show.[1] Contents [hide] 1 Couples 2 Scoring Chart 3 Dance-Off Chart 4 Call-out order 5 Songs 5.1 Week 1 5.2 Week 2 5.3 Week 3 6 Dance Schedule 7 Dance Chart 8 Musical Guests 9 Macy's Stars of Dance 10 References 11 External links [edit] Couples Celebrity Occupation Professional partner Status Belinda Carlisle Singer Jonathan Roberts Eliminated 1st on March 17, 2009 David Alan Grier Actor & Comedian Kym Johnson Participating Shawn Johnson Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast Mark Ballas Participating Lil' Kim Grammy Award Winning Rapper Derek Hough Participating Holly Madison The Girls Next Door Star Dmitry Chaplin Participating Gilles Marini Actor Cheryl Burke Participating Ty Murray Rodeo Champion Chelsie Hightower Participating Steve-O Jackass Star Lacey Schwimmer Participating Denise Richards Actress Maksim Chmerkovskiy Participating Melissa Rycroft The Bachelor Contestant Tony Dovolani Participating Lawrence Taylor Retired New York Giants Linebacker Edyta Śliwińska Participating Chuck Wicks Country Singer Julianne Hough Participating Steve Wozniak Apple Inc.
