It is the women's turn on "Dancing with the Stars" Season 35.
Instead of all the celebrities and their partners performing, the two-night premiere will have things divided between the men and women. Male celebrities performed on the first night of the two-night season premiere. After receiving the lowest judges' scores and votes, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Conner Leavitt and his partner Adele Zaikman were eliminated.
Now, the female celebrities will dance to a No. 1 song from the year they were born. At the end of the night, another couple will be eliminated.
This season's cast has 16 celebrities, including "Bachelorette" star Tyler Cameron, famous chef Giada De Laurentiis, Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn, "Love Island" star Maura
Higgins, actress Julia Stiles and internet personality Connor Wood. Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough are back as the panel of judges.
