It’s down to four teams in the race for the Dancing With the Stars season 27 Mirrorball Trophy after two more pairs were sent home during Monday’s shocking semi-finals.
Juan Pablo Di Pace and Joe Amabile were eliminated after Monday’s semi-final live show, in which pairs were tasked with performing one dance dedicated to someone in their life and a second dance chosen by the judges that they had performed in the past.
