The show is based on the [[United Kingdom]] [[BBC]] [[Television]] series ''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]'' and is part of [[BBC Worldwide]]'s international ''[[Dancing with the Stars]]'' franchise. Its seventh season is scheduled to begin around September 2008 as part of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s fall line-up. ==Description== The show pairs a celebrity with a professional [[ballroom dance]]r. The professional dancer is responsible for teaching the celebrity how to perform specific dances, which the pair perform live on the show each week. The dancers are scored by a panel of three professional dance judges. Additionally, viewers of the program may vote by phone, text message, or online methods. The team which receives the lowest total score (a combination of the judges' scores and viewer votes) each week is eliminated from the competition. ''Dancing with the Stars'' is hosted by [[Emmy Award]]-winning game show host and TV personality, [[Tom Bergeron]], and [[E!]] reporter [[Samantha Harris]] (who joined the show in season 2, replacing [[Lisa Canning]]). For the first three weeks of the competition of season 5, season 2 celebrity champion [[Drew Lachey]] co-hosted with Bergeron while Harris was on maternity leave. The panel of judges consists of [[Len Goodman]] (head judge), [[Carrie Ann Inaba]], and [[Bruno Tonioli]]. [[Harold Wheeler]] is the musical director. The announcements for the show's titles ("Live from Hollywood, This is "''Dancing With the Stars''") and introductions for the dances and judges' scores were recorded in the United Kingdom by [[Alan Dedicoat]]. ''Dancing with the Stars'' is broadcast live from [[CBS Television City]] in [[Los Angeles]] in Studio 46. The first three seasons were not aired in the UK. [[BBC One]] aired Season 4 on Sunday afternoons from Sunday, [[July 15]][[2007]].

[[Cheryl Burke]] and [[Tony Dovolani]] have been on the show since their Season 2 debut as professionals. ===Scoring and voting procedure=== Starting in Season 3, the procedure for eliminating couples changed. Previously, only the overall ranking between competitors by the judges and the public was relevant. Starting in Season 3, the differential is now relevant. The scoring begins with the judges' marks. Each judge gives a 1 to 10 score, allowing for a highest score of 30, and a lowest score of three (though the lowest individual score ever given was a 2- Season 2, Master P, Paso Doble, and the lowest combined score was an 8). With multiple performances, the scores would all be added at the end of the program. The scores for all competitors are added together and each contestant's "judge share" is determined by dividing their score by the sum of all the scores combined and recorded as a percentage. This percentage is then added to the percentage of North American votes received by each contestant. The bottom two couples are identified in the results show, and the couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated.<ref>[http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/index?pn=vote* Dancing With The Stars Voting Summary, abc.go.com]</ref> Public voting is conducted via a toll-free number, the ABC web site, and, most recently, text messages. Voters can place up to the number of couples performing that night to a minium of 5 votes per medium during and immediately after each performance show. ===Withdrawals=== [[Sara Evans]] in the third season was the first and only celebrity to withdraw from the competition, while in progress. She cited her divorce as the reason for leaving the competition. As a result, her professional partner, Tony Dovolani also became the first professional dancer to withdraw from the competition. Another withdrawal occurred during the run-up to Season 4, on [[February 28]] when [[Vincent Pastore]] withdrew from the competition after only one week of training. Pastore said he did not realize how much work was needed during a ten-week period, and that he was not up to the physical demands of the show. He was replaced on [[March 2]] by actor [[John Ratzenberger]] who was partnered with [[Edyta Sliwinska]].<ref>[http://www.abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/DancingStars/story?id=2912176 ABC News: John Ratzenberger Joins Cast of 'Dancing With the Stars'<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ===Relationships=== Over the seasons there have only been two confirmed relationships between a professional dancer and their celebrity partner.
