Season seventeen of Dancing with the Stars premiered on September 16, 2013, on the ABC network.

On November 26, actress Amber Riley and Derek Hough were crowned the champions, while actor Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff finished in second place, and Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke finished in third.

This is the first season since season one to not have a Tuesday results show. The sky box where host Brooke Burke Charvet interviewed dancers after their performances was also eliminated. Instead, the couples were accommodated in a new seating area near the judges' table, which had also been shifted to the opposite side of the ballroom. A make-up room and rehearsal room were added where Charvet could chat with the couples before and after their performances.

This season also introduced a new format of voting. Each week, the judges would give each couple a score. Since there was no results show, those scores would be added to the public votes from the previous week, and the couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes would be eliminated from the competition at the end of that week's episode.

Cast

Couples

This season featured twelve celebrity contestants. The cast and their professional partners were announced on September 4, 2013, on Good Morning America. Tyne Stecklein, Emma Slater, and Sasha Farber joined the cast of professional dancers, while Gleb Savchenko and Lindsay Arnold joined Henry Byalikov and Witney Carson in the dance troupe.

Host and judges

Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke Charvet returned as co-hosts, and Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli returned as judges. The Harold Wheeler orchestra and singers also returned to provide the music throughout what would end up being their last season. This was also Brooke Burke-Charvet's last season as co-host.

Week 6: Switch-Up Challenge

Due to a technical error the previous week in which incorrect voting numbers were displayed for the couples, the votes were subsequently thrown out and no couple was eliminated. Instead, the judges' scores and viewer votes carried over to the following week.

In the Switch-Up Challenge, all eight couples were divided into two groups of four. In marathon-style, they all danced to four songs they had not previously rehearsed and were scored on their ability to interpret the music, transition from one song to another, and stay on time. Couples are listed in the order they performed.

Week 7: Team Dance Night

Each couple performed one unlearned dance and a Halloween-themed team freestyle. The teams were chosen by the highest scoring couples: Amber & Derek (Team "Foxing Awesome") and Elizabeth & Val (Team "Spooky BomBom"). Couples are listed in the order they performed.

Individual judges scores and votes in the charts below (given in parentheses) are listed from left to right: Carrie Ann Inaba, Cher, Bruno Tonioli.

All of the dance routines were performed to songs by Cher. In addition, after the individual routines were performed, the highest-scorers, Amber & Derek, received immunity and avoided elimination for this week. The remaining six couples competed in pairs in a dance-off challenge, with the winners receiving an additional three points that were added to their scores. Couples are listed in the order they performed.

Week 9: Trio Night

Each couple performed one unlearned ballroom dance and one trio dance. Each couple chose one professional who was either previously eliminated or participated in the dance troupe. Couples are listed in the order they performed.

Week 10: Plugged/Unplugged Night

The unplugged versions of Corbin & Karina's rumba and Amber & Derek's Viennese waltz were performed by Kerli. Noah Guthrie performed the unplugged version of Bill E. & Emma's Argentine tango.

Week 11: Finals
