Coming off a dynamic, Emmy-nominated 34th season, the cast is full of reality stars, Olympians and (ABC) television stars a plenty. For both nights, the celebrities will dance to a No. 1 song from the year they were born, and yes, someone will be eliminated.

The couple with the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes is eliminated at the end of each DWTS episode. Live voting takes place during the East Coast airing of each show and ends shortly after the final performance is completed; that means if you’re a West Coast viewer and want to vote for your favorite couple, you must do so between 5 p.m. PT to roughly 7:45 p.m. PT, as voting ends after the final performance.
