This year some veteran pros are back, and Len Goodman is out. This means the scores can go up to 30 with Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Julianne Hough coming back. The couple with the lowest combined judges scores and votes will be eliminated next Monday.

Victor and Karina - Salsa - 15 - Victor Espinoza was the jockey atop American Pharaoh. And guess who he's dancing with?? Karina Smirnoff! Girl is back... and a wee bit taller than her partner.

Tamar and Val - Quickstep - 23 -Tamar is part of the Braxton Family and co-host of The Real. She is partnered with the reigning champion, Val Chmerkovskiy.

Chaka Khan and Keo Motspe - Cha Cha - 13 - In case you're completely clueless, Chaka Khan is a singer... 70 million albums sold, 10 Grammys. Yeah, her. She may have a little less dancing ability than singing ability but she's having a blast.

Hayes Grier and Emma Slater - Cha Cha - 21 - Social media sensation amassing 8 million followers. I didn't know him, either. Looks like there's going to be a problem with their age difference. Because 26 is old?

Andy Grammer and Allison Holker - Foxtrot - 21 - Andy is best known for his song "Honey I'm Good". He performed it live during last season's performance and is dancing with SYTYCD alumni Allison Holker.

Paula Deen and Louis Van Amstel - Quickstep - 15 - Paula Deen is most known for her loud southern accent and her cooking (and maybe a scandal). They meet and immediately practice in her house... which is huge. Wow!

Spouses Carlos PenaVega (Big Time Rush) and Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids) are competing against each other. Alexa is dancing with Mark Balas while Carlos is dancing with Witney Carson.
Carlos and Witney - Jive - 23
Alexa and Mark - Jive - 22

Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Tony Dovolani - Salsa - 12 - Kim is best known for Real Housewives of Atlanta, Football wife, and being a mom of 6. Kim is so nervous, can she pull of more performing for the cameras?

Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough - Jive - 24 - Bindi is best known as Steve Irwin's daughter. She is keeping his legacy alive by staying close to nature. We are ready to see a whole new side to Bindi.

Gary Busey and Anna - Cha Cha - 15 - Gary is an actor known for many roles but most known for being a little eclectic. He is dancing with Anna Trebunskaya... if she can reel him in.

Alex Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold - Foxtrot - 22 - Best known for being the National Guard specialist who recently helped thwart a terrorist attack on a Paris bound train. He is dancing with SYTYCD alum and recently wed Lindsay Arnold.

Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess - Cha Cha - 24 - Nick is best known as being in Backstreet Boys for 23 years. His goal is to stop hiding behind the other guys in the band and overcome his insecurities.

Maybe it will be a Bindi vs Nick finale? Who's in?
