Last week on “Dancing with the Stars” fans learned which celebrities and pro dancers were dancing together. This week the first couple will go home after a second dance.

In a new voting format this year fans can vote via abc.com and by texting. Voting is open only during the live east coast/central time zones which eliminates half the country including fans in California where many of the stars call home.

This season after the bottom two has been revealed, the judges will be able to save one of the bottom two couples.
