MOUNT VERNON, Va. (AP) – The hockey playing Battaglia brothers win a million dollars on “The Amazing Race.” Bates and Anthony Battaglia say the experiences they had were — well — amazing. They add their victory is sweeter because they competed as brothers. The final leg took the last three teams to the Washington DC area. The finish line was the Mount Vernon, Virginia, estate of George Washington. Newlyweds Katie and Max Bichler came in second. They say the competition helped them to grow closer as a couple.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – The six remaining couples will do two routines on “Dancing With the Stars” tonight. They’ll start with a traditional ballroom dance they haven’t done before. Then, each couple will dance with one of the eliminated pros or a troupe member. Viewers will be asked to vote on Twitter for a new dance style for each couple to perform next week. They can choose from Afro-Jazz, Disco, Flamenco, Hip-hop, Lindyhop or Charleston. Tomorrow night, Jason DeRulo will perform.
Alicia Keys and Season 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina will perform on the “American Idol” results show on Thursday. Keys will sing “Tears Always Win,” and Alaina will sing “Barefoot and Buckwild.” The top three contestants — Kree Harrison, Candice Glover and Angie Miller — will perform three songs each on Wednesday’s show. One is a song chosen by the judges, one is a song they choose themselves and one is chosen by mentor Jimmy Iovine.
