Dancing with the Stars returned for a second season on ABC in January 2006, bigger and bolder than before. With ten celebrity-professional pairings competing for the coveted mirrorball trophy – up from six the previous year – viewers had even more dazzling dance routines to enjoy. The show itself also got a makeover, stretching out to a full 90 minutes each week, followed by an hour-long results reveal the next night.
