"Dancing With The Stars" moves into its eighth week of competition on Monday, May 8. It's an extremely important week for the five couples who remain. By the end of Monday night's show, the final four will remain and one celebrity will go home.
Before "DWTS" host Tom Bergeron announces the name of the couple who will leave the show on Monday night, all five couples will perform two rounds of dancing. According to ABC, the pros will choose the song and dance style for the first dance. The second round of dances are Trio Dances — the judges will choose a partner for each couple.
Find out who the judges' picked for each couple below.

In addition to two rounds of dancing and a heart-breaking elimination, fans will get a special treat on Monday night. ABC will air a preview of the upcoming "Dancing with the Stars: Live! Hot Summer Nights" tour. The show feature pros from this season and troupe dances who will perform in more than 40 cities across the U.S. starting June 16.

Who will go home on 'DWTS' week 8?
Four celebrities will move on to next week's semi-finals round after this week's performances.
That means one celeb will go home just two weeks before the season finale.
Last week, there was speculation that Bonner Bolton or David Ross would be one of two celebrities eliminated on Week 7. Instead, Nancy Kerrigan and Nick Viall were sent home.
This week's elimination will be based on a combination of judges' scores from Week 7 and votes from fans.
Let's take a look at last week's leaderboard to see who has the best chance of sticking around for another week.
- Normani - 43
- Simone - 39
- Rashad - 39
- David - 32
- Bonner - 31
David and Bonner were at the bottom of the leaderboard. Fans can expect one of them to go home. Normani, Simone, and Rashad seem to be the top contenders for the "Dancing with the Stars" Mirrorball trophy this season.
Who do you think will go home on Monday night?
