On last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS - The Results Show, host Tom Bergeron revealed a surprising announcement regarding the show's voting procedure that will surely have an impact on the rest of the season. 

In recent years, the show has received criticism for the fact that talented celebrity dancers were eliminated before less gifted contestants, solely based on popularity. As a result, "Dancing With the Stars" has decided to change the rules to avoid this situation. For the next three weeks, the bottom two stars, as voted by fans, will have one final dance-off to prove their skills to the judges. After those performances, the judges will decide which star will be going home.

It was also announced that the theme of next week's show will be 'Rock 'n' Roll. Contestants, including famed R & B singer Gladys Knight, said that they were excited to have the opportunity to 'rock out' on the ballroom dance floor.
