DWTS 18: Jonathan Bennett & Allison Holker

Jonathan D. Bennett, 33, is an American actor best known for his role in the the 2004 “Mean Girls” in which he was Lindsay Lohan’s love interest and a brief one-year stint on the soap opera “All My Children” (2001-2002).  This year he became the host of MTV’s “Copy Cat.”

“Copy Cat” is a new reality series in which there are a series of “cat fights” but it won’t be cats or women only fighting. In this case, the audience hears the contestants first before they see them. The contestants will be paying tribute to their favorite performers, or that’s what the promo says. The show premiered in June of this year.

For their first dance together will be the quick paced jive.

Season 19 begins with a two-hour  two-day season premiere tonight, Monday, Sept. 15 (8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET) . Tuesday, “Dancing with the Stars: The Results” will reveal which couple will be eliminated and include a performance by Smokey Robinson.

Robinson will perform a duet of “My Girl” with Aloe Blacc from his album “Smokey and Friends.” A special dance number will be performed by the new pros: Allison Holker, Keo Motsepe and Artem Chigvintsev.

ABC.com will be offering five live streams from key positions at the show venue, allowing fans to choose views of the Red Room, judges, sky box, a wide angle of the dance floor and a hosted feed that will highlight relevant social media conversations.
