Australia’s glitterball trophy is back up for grabs as a new crop of celebrities takes to the floor for the first time in this week’s Dancing with the Stars. Airing Sunday at 7:00 PM on the Seven Network, the second episode of the season will see six more personalities make their ballroom debut, each hoping to avoid an early exit.
This week, it’s all about first impressions. Comedian Felicity Ward, journalist Karina Carvalho, actor Kyle Shilling, media personality Mia Fevola, TV host Osher Gunsberg, and satirist Shaun Micallef will each perform their first competitive routine. Paired with professional dancers, they’ll tackle everything from the cha-cha to the waltz, aiming to win over both the judging panel and the voting public at home.
The format remains unchanged: the judges’ scores are combined with audience votes cast via phone and SMS, and the duo with the lowest combined total is sent packing. It’s a high-pressure environment where a single misstep can mean the end of the line.
For the contestants, it’s a trial by fire. For the audience, it’s a chance to see how well these familiar faces handle the heat when they’re out of their comfort zones. This season’s lineup is a mix of television veterans and fresh faces, setting up an unpredictable competition where anyone could emerge as a frontrunner—or an early casualty.
“Dancing with the Stars” airs Sunday, June 22 at 7:00 PM on the Seven Network.
