After Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev were eliminated in the past episode of "Dancing With the Stars" season 19, the five remaining couples will be battling it out to avoid the chopping block and go straight to the hit dance reality show's semi-finals.
The remaining couples, composed of Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd, Janel Parrish and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas, Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson, and Bethany Mota and Derek Hough, will have to double up their efforts in week 10 in order to remain in the show.
For the episode titled "Plugged/Unplugged," the couples will have to perform twice using the same song. The first round will show how the couples interpret the plugged rendition of their chosen song, while the second round will have to show how they interpret the same song in its unplugged version.

Meanwhile, "DWTS" resident judge Carrie Ann Inaba recently shared on her blog that several fans of Bethany Mota sent her hateful comments after she gave a low score to Bethany and Derek's performance last Monday.
"OK, I'm getting a lot of hate about my score for Bethany and Derek," Inaba wrote. "I score it as I see folks. As I've said many times, I think she's incredible. She's one of the front-runners in my mind. She's got a drive that I believe will take her far on the road to the Mirrorball Trophy. She's determined and when she dances. She really digs into the dances and brings the world to life. Like a chameleon, she is dynamic and intriguing to watch."
Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman, and former "DWTS" pro Julianne Hough will pick the semi-finalists of the dance reality competition.
