The old saying goes that slow and steady wins the race. But Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson probably should have picked up the pace on “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.” Though her scores had ticked up since the beginning of the kids’ dance competition, it wasn’t enough to keep her out of the bottom of the leaderboard on Halloween Night, and this time her fans in the studio audience didn’t come to her rescue. Watch her final routine above.
Honey Boo Boo and her pro partner Tristan Ianiero performed a jazz routine to the Oscar-nominated title song from the sci-fi comedy classic “Ghostbusters” complete with uniforms and proton packs — and they even got slimed at the end. Unfortunately, that sliming turned out to be a preview of what was to come. The judges were encouraging in their critiques of her enthusiastic performance quality and gave her scores that...

The “Dancing with the Stars” two-night Halloween event started with the “Juniors” on Sunday night. The kids’ fright fest brought out breakthrough performances from a couple of rising contestants, while another early favorite “descended” on the leaderboard and we cried boo-hoo over the elimination at the end of the night. So who do you think gave the best performances, who gave the worst performances, and did the judges and studio audience get it right with the season’s fifth elimination?
As you might have guessed above, it was Alana Thompson — aka Honey Boo Boo from the reality series “Toddlers and Tiaras” and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” — who was eliminated when Halloween Night was over. Her scores had improved slightly since week one, and she seemed to have the support of the studio audience, so it looked like she had a ghost of a chance to advance pretty far in the competition.

Was Alana Thompson better than ever on “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors”? That’s what the judges thought on Disney Night. The reality star better known as Honey Boo Boo advanced through the competition for yet another week, but this time she achieved her best score yet, crossing the 20 threshold after spending the first two weeks of the season with scores stuck in the teens. Did you agree with her marks? Watch her performance above, and vote in our poll below to let us know if you thought she was the best of the night.
For Disney Night, Honey Boo Boo and her pro partner Tristan Ianiero performed a foxtrot to “Something There” from “Beauty and the Beast.” It was quite a change of pace from their first two fast-paced Latin routines, a salsa and a cha cha. Their mentor Artem Chigvintsev even tried to teach her some etiquette to...

There’s usually a “Dancing with the Stars” contestant every season who coasts on fan support despite lower judges’ scores. Alana Thompson might turn out to be that contestant in the inaugural season of “DWTS: Juniors.” The artist formerly known as Honey Boo Boo got the bottom score on Sunday night when the celebs danced to songs from the years they were born, but she survived elimination after studio audience votes were factored in. Did she deserve that reprieve? Watch her performance above and decide for yourself.
Thompson and her pro partner Tristan Ianiero danced to a hit song from her birth year, “Don’t Cha” by Pussycat Dolls (2005). Judge Adam Rippon said, “You come out here, and you own it,” though he also pointed out a moment during the routine “when you were walking around like you were at the mall.” Val Chmerkovskiy was “proud” of the performance and...

Just in case the word “Juniors” wasn’t a big enough clue, Dancing With the Stars‘ pint-sized spinoff offered another reminder on Sunday’s episode that these contestants are young.
In Week 2 of the ABC series, the Mirrorball hopefuls performed to songs that were released in the years they were born — years that range from the very recent 2003 to the very very recent 2008. I bet you didn’t know you’d end your weekend by feeling old, huh?
Several of the Juniors competitors who impressed the judges last week cemented their status as frontrunners on Sunday; Mandla Morris and Ariana Greenblatt were particularly strong,...

Will Honey Boo Boo go bye-bye on ‘Dancing with the Stars: Juniors’? See where she stands in our odds
Alana Thompson came into the debut season of “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” as one of its best known celebs since she was already a reality star. She’s better known as Honey Boo Boo from the TLC series “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” which was spun off from the network’s “Toddlers and Tiaras.” But that didn’t help her too much with the judges, and now our users think she’ll be eliminated in week two of the competition on Sunday night, October 14.
Our predictions are based on the combined forecasts of Gold Derby users who have entered their picks in our predictions center, and they give Thompson leading odds of 19/5 of being ousted from the competition. In the premiere episode she performed a salsa with her pint-sized pro partner Tristan Ianiero, and judges Val Chmerkovskiy, Mandy Moore and Adam Rippon loved her spirit, but Chmerkovskiy thought she...

You know how everyone makes fun of the younger “Dancing with the Stars” contestants for picking a year in, like, the last seven years — including the current year — for Most Memorable Year because they haven’t lived yet? Well, neither have the kiddies on “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.”
Oh, don’t worry, they’re not doing Most Memorable Year there, which would’ve been Lol, but they are doing Songs From the Year I Was Born in Week 2. So that’s just music from this century. Not just that, but the remaining 10 contestants range from 9 years old (Spelling Bee champ Akash Vukoti) to 14 years old (Mackenzie Ziegler), so we’re getting tunes from a five-year span from 2004 to 2009. Some of these kids weren’t even alive for their rivals’ songs! We are old; they are not. Sigh.

She's not just dancing with the stars, she's wrestling with them, too! At the Georgia State Fair, reality star Alana Thompson, aka Honey Boo Boo, got roped into the drama in the ring while watching a wrestling match. When pros James Storm and Robbie E. faced off, things took an unexpected turn. While James had his opponent pinned in the corner of the ring, he shouted out to the 13-year-old former TLC star to come over and get in a whack of her own. James and the crowd start chanting for Honey Boo Boo to hit the other wrestler, and it wasn't long before the friends she was with joined in. Though she seemed a little, well, unsure about getting involved, eventually she stomped up to the ring and smacked the wrestler right across the face. Watch the moment happen in the video above and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
