After a smooth sailing "Yacht Rock Night" that ended in the shocking boot of Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart, Dancing with the Stars returns to the ballroom in celebration of the eternal diva – Mariah Carey.
The competition returns to the ballroom on October 6 with "Mariah Carey Night," which will feature all remaining 12 couples performing to bops by the singer.

While some of the singer's most pivotal hits may be missing ("We Belong Together?" "Always Be My Baby?" "Dreamlover?"), the line-up of dances and songs is quite stacked. Each couple will be performing one unlearned dance, and that includes…
- Conner Wood and Rylee Arnold: Rumba to "Touch My Body"
- Jackson Olson and Emma Slater: Waltz to "Without You"
- Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson: Samba to "Obsessed"
- Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson: Tango to "It's Like That"
- Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach: Rumba to "Anytime You Need a Friend"
- Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess: Foxtrot to "#Beautiful"
- Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas: Waltz to "If It's Over"
- Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong: Jazz to "Emotions"
- Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa: Viennese waltz to "Vision of Love"
- Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy: Rumba to "My All"
- Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik: Jazz to "Fantasy"
- Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov: Rumba to "Hero"
And expectations are already high for some of these dances, with some fans online clamoring for some true classics being cut from the list, while others expressed their excitement for more ballads and slower performances.

They might get a perfect score, he might vomit on live tv. Total coin flip. I cannot wait!" and a third saying: "Weird theme but excited for Tatyana, Amber, Ezra, Harry, and Julia!"
Who is the DWTS guest judge for Mariah Carey Night?
No guest judge has been announced thus far, with regular judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough slated to return as always. It's unclear if Mariah herself will be in the ballroom as a judge, although she could send a video message.
