Not a fan of the changes, the celebs should just be in the back room hanging out like in previous seasons, feels too much of a clutter on the ballroom floor. The only good thing is getting the scores right away & no more Q&A with Brooke now time goes by faster. Wonder if they will still include BTS footage/special musical guests since the show is only 1 day a week now. That was always my favorite part of the results show.

As for the dances, every one was decent, & Valerie Harper & Bill Nye were the ones I already expected not to be great, though they could improve as well & have some fan base rooting for them because of who they are. My stand out favorites are Christina, Amber, & Brant.

The first elimination is determined by combining the judges' scores from the first two weeks with the public votes from premiere night.

It could be their best move yet.

Edyta Sliwinska and Alec Mazo, the former Dancing with the Stars professionals, are expecting their first child early next year, the couple confirm to PEOPLE.

“I’m due in January and we are having a boy,” Sliwinska, 32, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We’ve been together for 13 years; married for six. We were both so ready for it and we’ve been planning on this for the past couple of years.”

The couple, who were married in 2007, competed on the professional Latin ballroom circuit for years before joining DWTS for its first season in 2005.

Russian-born Mazo, 35, competed on four seasons, winning the first season with partner Kelly Monaco. Polish-born Sliwinska was on for 10 seasons. She made it furthest in season six, finishing second with Jason Taylor. After the show’s 10th season in 2010, Sliwinska wrote on Facebook that it was “time to think about my future. I’m pursuing my education and looking forward to other projects that perhaps you will hear about, but my main goal is to finish my degree and start building a family.”

“There it is, my little secret. Less than 2 lbs little,” the mom-to-be captioned a selfie showing off her tiny baby bump which she posted on Instagram on Thursday.
