^3 The show was unable to schedule full performance and results shows for the first two weeks due to conflicts with the World Series.
\n^4 These female dancers were barred from performing their routines. See below for more information.
\nPerformance nights<\/p>\n
Due to network conflicts with the World Series, the show was unable to schedule a separate results show for the first two weeks. As a result, no public voting was held on those occasions; after the couples’ performances, the judges alone selected four dancers to perform solos, and subsequently eliminated two.<\/p>\n
The standard format of a performance show followed by voting, with a results show the following night, resumed for the third week of competition.

^6 Ashleigh Di Lello was paired with Russell Ferguson, but dislocated her shoulder during rehearsal of their Bollywood number and was barred from performing by doctors. As a result, she did not perform a solo and Ferguson danced their two numbers with the choreographers’ assistants, Alysha Shroff. Voting for Di Lello was still opened; viewers were urged to consider her previous performances and rehearsal footage in making their choice in voting for her.
