LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 33 Episode 3, originally scheduled for Tuesday, October 1, has been unexpectedly postponed. Viewers of the ABC show will have to wait an additional week for the remaining 11 celebrities and their partners to take the stage, as no new episode premiered tonight.

In its place, viewers saw 'Simulcast: CBS News Vice Presidential Debate'. However, next week, they can look forward to a series of thrilling performances featuring a twist on doubles. Host Alfonso Ribeiro announced that next week will feature two new episodes and a double elimination. Anna Delvey and her pro partner Ezra Sosa faced elimination after they performed a cha-cha to Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso' and scored 18 out of 30 points. The 'Hooray for Hollywood' night was filled with Rumba, Jive, Foxtrot, Paso Doble, Quickstep, Waltz, Salsa, and Tango.
