Season 20 winner Rumer Willis dances with pro Val Chmerkovskiy.
Dancing With the Stars is back, with an eclectic group of contestants that includes controversial celebrity chef Paula Deen, Steve Irwin’s daughter Bindi, and one of the heroes of the French train attack. Before tuning into the new season on Sept. 14, check out some highlights from Season 20.
5. Riker Lynch channels Captain Jack
Sparrow
During the show’s Disney
Week, the R5 singer (and eventual 2nd place finisher) doubled down
on the drama of his paso doble by dancing in full
pirate costume.
4. Robert Herjavec kisses partner Kym Johnson
The Shark Tank panelist and dancer Kym Johnson said they were in the moment
when they kissed passionately during a routine and denied there was anything more
to it. But the duo later confirmed that they were, indeed, dating (and still are).
3. Awwwww, Noah and Jamie
are in love
Army
veteran and motivational speaker Noah Galloway got a huge surprise when his girlfriend, U.S. Army Reservist Jamie Boyd, got out of Basic Training early to come watch him dance live; later Galloway gave her an even bigger surprise: a marriage proposal.
2. Rumer and Val earn the season’s first perfect
score
Rumer Willis and pro dancer
Val Chmerkovskiy scored big with a sensual rumba that wowed the judges, the
audience, and her cheering mom, Demi Moore. The duo continued to dazzle through
the season and ultimately
took home the Mirror Ball Trophy.
1. Bruno
Toniolli totally disses Charlotte McKinney
The judge isn’t know for
pulling punches, but the sexist digs he threw at the model/actress (known for a risqué
Carl’s Jr. Super Bowl commercial) after a lackluster performance didn’t please the audience or the other judges. McKinney had quite a few things to say the following day about his comments.
Noah Galloway dances an inspirational freestyle
The double-amputee only expected to last a few weeks in the competition, and instead he made it to the finals. This emotional performance captured his difficult journey — and his resilience.
In the middle of the season the show ran its 10th anniversary special, featuring a host of former contestants and dancers performing. Our personal favorite? This paso doble performed by seven former NFL players and contestants to the tune of the Monday Night Football theme song.
