‘DWTS’ Season 31 Week 8: Who made it to the semifinals?

DWTS Season 31 Week 8 was heating up as the coupes vied for the spot to make it to the semi-finals. Along with their individual dances, they also performed in a dance relay along with one other couple to earn five extra bonus points that would be added to their score. In addition, we got to listen to popular artists from the time. This includes Vanilla Ice, Kid N’ Play, En Vogue, and Salt-N-Pepa. Let’s go over what happened in our recap.

In addition to the performances, the hosts also paid tribute to Aaron Carter. The singer passed away two days before the episode aired and he had been on Season 9 of DWTS. His brother, Backstreet Boys band member Nick Carter, also competed on the show.

The competition is heating up on DWTS Season 31 Week 8.

The relays paired up the eight couples to perform dances against one another for extra points. For the Samba relay between Trevor and Emma, and Vinny and Koko, they performed to “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It) by En Vogue. Trevor won five extra points to his score.
