'Dancing with the Stars' Season 19 News: Alfonso and Witney Injured, Week 7 Dance Styles Revealed

By Virnelli Mercader, Christian Post Contributor

Week 6 of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 19 saw "Mean Girls" heartthrob Jonathan Bennett and dance partner Allison Holker eliminated, leaving eight pairs of celebrities and their pro partners who are still in the running for the Mirror Ball Trophy.

Injuries are always a given with every season of DWTS, and for season 19, Alfonso Ribeiro and his partner, Witney Carson, both sustained injuries last week. Carson injured her back during dress rehearsals on Monday, while Ribeiro suffered from a groin injury. However, they managed to dance and still got the highest score of the night.

On Oct. 27, the final eight couples will be doing two dances for "Halloween Night"—an individual routine, and a team dance. Head judge Len Goodman, co-host Erin Andrews and pro Karina Smirnoff will also be back for week 7 of "DWTS.'
