My name is loni love. I'm an emmy-winning talk show host.
The first time I saw "dirty dancing," I was still in high school.
I must've saw it at least five or six times 'cause I loved it so much.
I could just remember seeing all that bumping and grinding, and I went, "yes!"
I am super excited to be here
because I want women of all shapes and all sizes
to let them know, "hey, you may not be the size of baby,
but you can dirty dance."
if I can do it, you can do it.
It's definitely gonna be uncomfortable, right?
You wrestle, so you know about moves.
I know about being half-naked with women. Not so much men.
My name is brie bella. I am one of the bella twins.
My sister and I wrestled all over the world,
and then we were inducted into the wwe hall of fame.
Brie mode!
For a majority of my life, I've been a badass chick.
Everything I've done in my career and in my life,
it's never been about that softer, feminine side.
There is this sexy side inside me
and I just have never had a chance to bring it out.

I know, right? Isn't that cool?
I didn't think it was real.
My name is corbin bleu, and I am an entertainer,
a singer, a dancer, actor.
I was chad danforth in all the "high school musical" movies.
It's all costumes and makeup.
There are so many mirrors, I feel like,
between johnny's passion for dance
and my passion for dance.
But growing up being mixed race
as a big fan of musicals,
I never saw someone like myself up on that screen
in those lead roles.
Being able to play johnny is an honor.
Patrick swayze is johnny.
There is no one else that really can truly fill those shoes,
but I'm gonna do my best to pay homage to him.
And I'm also gonna bring corbin to the table.
Corbin bleu is in the building!
- Tyler! - What's up, man?

My comedy sister!
When "dirty dancing" first came out, I was young.
I was a good christian girl.
I would get real embarrassed watching the movie.
Like, any time it would be, like, a real sexy scene,
I would, like, tense up and be like,
"oh, my god. I hope nobody's watching me watch this right now.
Oh, hi, everyone. 'kay."

- A pleasure. Antonio. - Brie bella. Nice to meet you.
- Oh, you've been on my fantasy football team many times. - Oh, wow.
- So you won? - Yes!
When I recently watched the movie "dirty dancing" with my kids,
I was surprised that I got emotional on a dance movie.
Growing up in detroit, it was a sign of weakness to be vulnerable.
You didn't want no one to see that side of you.
I was getting teary eyed, and I was like, "my allergies acting up."
this is pretty cool.
I wanted so badly to grow up and be johnny.
He was badass.
♪ won't you help me cure this overload ♪
he went his own lane, being a dancer of all things.
He had a passion, and I respect him for that.
- Loni love! - Is that cat? Oh!
Of course, baby was my favorite character.
When I was younger, I was expected to date guys,
but what I really wanted to do was date my best friend
who was the head cheerleader.
To see her be able to fall in love
with somebody from the other side of the tracks
helped me to be able to express myself.
As an out and proud gay woman,
it's so exciting to be here. This is where it all took place.
This is where "dirty dancing" happened.
- It's twitch! - Hey, hey!
Welcome to kellerman's!
Who comes down the stairs? My brother twitch!
- Welcome, welcome. - Yeah.

This is "the real dirty dancing."

35 years ago, they filmed this iconic movie right where you are standing,
and we are so excited to go back in time and relive it all.
And this time, you are the cast.
- Let's do it! Let's do it! - Wow, let's do it.
You are literally stepping into the shoes of baby and johnny
and recreating some of the most iconic scenes in dance cinema.
Yes. Wow.
Over here, that's baby's cabin.
Mom, dad, I'm going up to the main house to look around.
- And then over here is the gazebo. - One, two, three, four!
Stomp those grapes!
Twitch: And behind me is the lodge.
But this isn't a simple trip down memory lane.
This is a competition.
Ooh.
And you will be taking part in a series of performances
inspired by the film's most iconic moments.
Each performance, you'll receive a song from the movie.
And you will have 24 hours to put together a routine before you're judged.
At the end of the competition, only two couples will remain.
Both of those couples will do the final dance from "dirty dancing"
including the iconic lift.
- Wow. Wow. - Fresh.
- Right? - Mm-hmm.
That's right. I'm looking at four babys and four johnnys,
but only the best baby and johnny can win.
Howie: I wanna win this.
I gotta wear those tight pants. I gotta just be johnny.
Of course, I wanna win.

was right here in the staff quarters,
and they danced right away.
So before I can pair you up, it's your turn.
What you talking about?
We don't even have lessons yet. I thought we were gonna get lessons first.
Baby didn't get a lesson first.
She just got pulled out to the floor and had to make it happen.
- Oh, shoot. - What movie is that? Let's remix it.
Let's get a lesson first.
Hey, we don't call it "the real dirty dancing" for nothing.
I'm trying to think. Have I danced with any guy besides my husband?
This is gonna be a little scary.
I'm used to 70,000 watching me play football,
but my heart rate was so high.
Give me some music. Let's go.
Oh, so you're acting shy?
Howie, come on. Dance with cat. Let's go.
Let's go!
Ha! Come on, loni! Come on, loni!
Oh!
Let's go! Come on outta there, brie!
Tyler, you better work the hips!
Let's go! Let's go!
Anjelah: Oh, my god. Like, awkward.
Dance like nobody's watching. Isn't that what they say?
I like it.
Most of the time, there's a little bit of boundaries that are set.
With this, it was just intimacy right away.
- Twitch: I love it. - Loni: I was bumping and grinding on everybody.
The boys, the girls. I was probably doing the wall too.
Twitch: And still to come...
Come here, lover boy.
...The cast recreate iconic movie moments.
- Oh! - Hey.
- Hey! - Hey, johnny.
But as the dancing gets dirtier...
The intimacy, it's gonna really worry me.
...So does the competition.
I gotta get baby.
This is my baby right now,
so y'all keep your hands off of her.
It could be anybody's game.
It's been a long time since I've been fought over by a man.
Hey!
♪ I'm a love man

is one of the steamiest scenes in the movie.

♪ I'm a love man

Here we go. Come on.

Twitch: Rock them hips.
Hey!
Hey.
Okay.
That's what I'm talking about.
Who knew you could all get so dirty?
Hey, right?
So now I'm ready to pair you up.
Y'all ready for your partners?
- Yes. - Okay.

Ow! So he can handle all this woman, 'cause I'm a whole lot of woman.
- I'm gonna get all this. This is my woman. - Y'all not ready!
All right, corbin, your partner is cat.
We're about to cook up some fine dishes on this dance floor.
- I got the moves. - You've got some energy.
We just have to put them in some places the we need to put them in.
Now, antonio, your partner is...
- Brie. - Whoa.
- ( cheering ) - ( overlapping chatter )
- she deserves a top dog, right? - Yeah.
Come with me, right?
And last but not least, anjelah and howie.
That's right! Yeah!
- I get to dance with a backstreet boy. - Aw.
I'm a little bit excited about that.
Like, my teenager self is like, "oh, my god. We're living right now."
so now you have 24 hours to put together a standout routine.
24 hours?
We can't even rest for a minute? Get to know each other?
No, twitch means business.
Twitch: To win, you need to bring your sexiest steps,
your dirtiest dance moves,
and show everyone that you are baby and johnny.
So y'all go ahead and start rehearsing.
- Let's go. - Okay, let's go.
It is going, okay?
Like this, okay?
We just got partnered up, and we're all happy with our partners,
and we're all friends for now.
The competition for second place is gonna be tough, guys.
We already got first in the books.
Oh, yes, one of the favorites. One of the favorites.
- Heck yeah. - In the beginning of the movie.
Something I've always dreamed about is learning how to dance.
Kind of come in, like...
But food has really been my whole life.
You probably know me as the first female iron chef.
I have 18 restaurants.
I've cooked in kitchens all over the world.
It's been my career for the last 25 years.
I wanna show my six sons
that it's never too late to come out of your comfort zone,
you can be whoever you wanna be,
and to show them that mom's still got it.
- Our first dance together... - Yeah.
- Is about... - Both: Trust.
Yeah, we're coming together. You're married. I'm married.
I haven't been this close to a man in, like, 35 years.
Well, I'm honored to be the first in 35 years.
So keep your head looking at that direction...
- Yeah? - ...Before you turn.
I was very nervous, that's for sure.
It's gonna take a beat just to get sexy and sensual.
- I'm just gonna tell you right now... - Yeah, of course.
...You're, like, free to kind of, like,
- bring your hands-- - this?
- Do all that kind of stuff and move it around. - Yeah.
You have to make the audience believe
that you two are really having a connection.
And the only way to do that
is to actually establish some sort of a connection.
Both: Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one.
Cat and corbin, team focus.
They know what it is to come into a space,
command the energy, and get the job done.
They just really have to learn how to feel each other out.
Oh, whoa. Don't drop me, please. Don't drop me.
- I promise you, I will never drop you. - Okay, good.
- Right here, we're gonna box. Boom, boom. - Okay.
My mom's always pushing me to take risks and go for it.
She was the one who told me to go do "the bachelorette."
she was my best friend.
She was always my biggest support system.
She was a superhero.
But about a year and a half ago, she had a brain aneurism,
and then she was gone.
That was one of the hardest days of my life.
She always loved me dancing.
She was always for the fun, always down to dance,
and honestly, when we would go out together,
she'd be right there dancing with me.
I'm doing this show for my mom.
I'm doing this to make her proud.
I know this is something that she would've pushed me to do.
All right, so to win, to be the best,
we gotta embody johnny, we gotta embody baby.
- Yeah. - So what are you gotta do to be baby?
At this point, baby was still learning how to dance,
- so johnny is the confident one. - Yep.
So, you know, a lot is on you.
I have no dance experience whatsoever.
Zilch. Nothing, okay?
- Ooh, ooh! Oh, tyler! - ( overlapping chatter )
but I want this dance to be sexy and sensual.
- And roll with me. Roll with me. - Whoa.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Okay, wait, wait, how much fun are we having here?
- What, what? What? Wait. - Mmm.
Twitch: Loni and tyler equals a lot of joy, a lot of fun,
but this is a competition, and if they have too much fun,
they're gonna be dancing their way right off this show.
You got a lot of, like, great connection moments,
but we definitely gotta get some steps in there too.
It's gonna be a little bit of a crunch, but we're gonna get it done.
I was a bit nervous. I'm not gonna lie.
Much love, y'all. Seriously.
We're never gonna get enough steps in in time.
Oh, lord, we got a long ways to go here.
- We wasting time right now. - I know. We're gonna get it right.
You got that, guys?
Twitch: Remember the first time baby saw johnny?
You just put your pickle on everybody's plate, college boy,
and leave the hard stuff to me.
Now it's our guys' turn.
You think you can keep that straight, johnny?
What the hell you say to me?
No, I'm just-- I had to.
- And later... - Yes!
Who will bring the heat to the dance floor...
They were hot together.
...As our cast must judge one another?
The stakes are high. Very high.
Loni: One of the reasons why I wanted to do this show
was to honor patrick swayze.
He was such a great human being.
Patrick was, like, every girl's crush.
He was a figure for so many of us in that generation in the '80s,
but he died way too young from pancreatic cancer.
Howie: I remember growing up watching him
and hoping one day to be able to fill his shoes,
and doing something like this
is keeping the memory of patrick swayze living on.
Antonio: I think the lessons to be learned
is that you have to cherish every single moment,
every single day, cherish every human being,
because you never know when it's truly their last day.
This competition isn't just about being the best dancer.
The celebrities are paying tribute to patrick swayze
and jennifer grey as actors too.
This is the moment baby first saw johnny,
and we're about to put the guys into the shoes of johnny
and test their acting skills.
And keep your fingers out of the water,
your hair out of the soup, and show the daughters a good time.
- You got that, guys? - Hey, hold it! Hold it.
Listen, wise-ass, you got your own rules.
Dance with the daughters, teach them the mambo,
the cha-cha, but that's where it ends.
No funny business, no conversations, and keep your hands off!
So you think you can keep that straight, johnny?
What you can and can't lay your hands on?
You just put your pickle on everybody's plate, college boy,
and leave the hard stuff to me.
Whoa.
It's showtime.
Tyler, you're up.
I've done a little bit of acting,
but we had corbin bleu there--
highly sought out professional actor,
so I had to make sure I brought it.

I have 116 touchdowns,

I had a 16-year career.
Now I'm here dancing my buns off.
Five, six, seven.
Both: One, two.
Antonio: What am I doing dancing, right?
"you don't dance."
that's what's been implemented in my mind
for 20 something years of sports.
As I'm going through the routine,
there's times where I have to be very gentle.
You got to be affectionate at times.
You have to be vulnerable at times.
It's a little bit more difficult for me.
Both: One, two, and one.
I'm an athlete, so I love winning.
Anyone who says they don't, they're lying.
But the intimacy, the closeness of bodies,
you know, all those things is really gonna worry me.
And...
Twitch: Antonio and brie, they have a lot of work to do
to learn how to open up themselves to be sexy, to be sensual,
and also try to figure out how to be on a new team.
Y'all get in frame real quick.
Kind of just hold each other there. Boom.
Look at each other.
Okay, now connect deeply on deep breath.
Again.
You are now two athletes taking on the game together.
You're a team right now. This is what we need, you know what I'm talking about?

I've always been very tomboy,
so sexy is kind of out of my comfort zone.
I grew up learning conservative christian values

I hope to be able to embrace my sexy side

- Okay. - Should we try it?
- Oh, shoot. Okay. - Howie: Doing the lift,
I know anjelah was probably a little nervous.
I don't blame her.
The other guys in the cast got muscles like ham hocks on their arms.
I'm definitely probably the weaker one out of the four of us.
- Whoa. - Oh, a little too high.
We went pretty late trying to really get it down,
but we have never successfully done the lift.
What if we don't hit it when we're on the dance floor?
I really hope that I don't fall.
Um, I feel like I needed a little more lift.

- What's up, everybody? - What's up?
- Y'all clean up nice. - Thank you!
You too, sweetie.
- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Yes!
Now, y'all, earlier on, you improvised on this dance floor,
but now you have routines to perform.
We're looking for that fun. We're looking for that sexiness.
We're looking for that connection.
Now you're dancing as a couple but competing individually.
Stakes are high. Very high.
The winning baby and the winning johnny
will get to pick their partner
for the remainder of this competition.
- Right. - Ow, ow!
Now you might be asking yourself,
how are we gonna decide the winners?
It's actually in your hands.
Oh, wow.
After every couple has danced,
ladies, you'll decide who's the best johnny,
and, fellas, you'll decide who's the best baby.
I wanna win this because I like the feeling.
Okay, ready to set this thing off,
give it up corbin and cat, come on.
- Come on, corbin! - Yay!
This my first dance in front of anybody.
I've been waiting breathlessly for this moment.
- Oh. - Ooh, okay.

Anjelah: Corbin is a fantastic dancer.
He's just so good.
Cat, she really brought the essence of what baby was.
Twitch: So how did that feel?
I have never danced. I'm 54 years old, have six kids,
and to be sexy and to bring this in a different light,
it's just, it's really-- as a mother...
- Absolutely. Yes, yes. - Sorry. I'm getting so emotional.
- That's what dance does. It brings out emotion. - 100%. 100%, yes. Exactly.
Give it up for them one more time.
Give it up. Give it up.
All right, next up, loni and tyler.
I haven't danced since 1996, so this is gonna be hilarious.
- I was born in '93. - So that tell you what you about to see.
Let's get it! Come on out here, let's go!
- You ready? - Let's-- I'm ready.
Let's go!
I know my mom would've loved to have seen this.
She always pushed me to do better and bigger things.
I'm gonna leave it all out there tonight.
I'm here to make mama proud.

( overlapping shouting )
oh, my god.
- Whoa! - Yeah!
Tyler: I'm stoked. We hit everything we needed to hit,
and we ended with a bang.
My mom would've definitely been proud.
She'll be watching over. She'll be excited for me.
Good job. So proud of y'all.
- That was amazing. How did that feel? - Yes!
I felt at home with baby right here, you know?
- This was home. - I love it. I love it.
Tyler did a really good job
playing up that patrick swayze johnny swagger.
Tyler shows us all up and shows us how strong the competition is.
Watching everybody else, I had to take my pulse.
At one point I was like, "oh, my god.
My heart's gonna beat out of my chest."
the next couple is anjelah and howie.
Let's do it. Let's do it.
- Okay. - Let's go!
Howie: The nerves kicked in.
I felt like I was out of my element.
I was out of my comfort zone.
I was probably more nervous than my first concert with the backstreet boys.
Just keep my shoulders down, my head up,
my frame locked, stay on my toes.
What if I forget the steps?
The next couple to set it off on this floor...
- Anjelah and howie. - Wow.
- Come on. - Let's do it.
Anjelah: We have never successfully pulled off the lift.
I wanted to just get it, like, out of my body.

( muttering )
howie: The lift didn't come off as we planned it.
I will admit that I didn't get her right up to the top there.
Anjelah: We were, like, doing great,
but then forget it.
Then it was game over.
How are you feeling?
That was just a dry run. Let's do it again.
- Exactly. Exactly. - I knew my strength
wouldn't get her through the ceiling, so...
Loni: I mean, they made a few mistakes,
but they were hot together.
Last to set it off, antonio and brie.
- Whoo! - Let's go!
I have never had to be, like, really sexy.
And seeing the other women really feeling it,
I need to pull that out of me.

- yeah! - Yes!
- Wow. - Yeah!
We all here for you, baby. We all here for you.
Brie, you are no longer a wrestler.
You are a dancer.
What's something that you love that you did in that performance?
Antonio: Uh, we finished.
Brie: You know, I had to do some sexy stuff,
and I feel like I pulled it off.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is what we're about to do.
Ladies, you're gonna get together
- and decide who is tonight's best johnny. - Okay.
And, fellas, you'll get together and decide tonight's best baby.
Very, very important decision y'all are making right now.
- How you doing? - Good, good, good.
- It's gonna be a tough one to make. - Sure.
I think cat fits baby.
Like, she was still learning and getting through it,
but yet she was growing so fast.
That's what it looks like in the movie.
And she, like, brought it. Was like a blossoming flower.
She's totally coming out.
Anjelah, she's the best dancer I think right now, without a doubt.
- Absolutely. - It felt like I was watching
two people just, like, from a corner in a club just doing their thing.
She's an amazing partner, honestly.
Tyler: So what about brie?
Her acrobatics from wwe came through.
She seemed the most timid before it started
and then she just came alive.
- Tyler: Blossomed. - Yeah.
But if we're talking about that baby mold,
loni has confidence and swagger to her.
She's fun, and she's like, "I'm about to give it to you.
- All right, ladies. - All right, we gotta make a decision.
- This is tough. - This is really tough. I'm torn.
This is beyond tough.
You know, looking at each of the men,
if I could put them all together, that would be the perfect johnny.
Corbin definitely has the same butt as johnny.
- I was staring at that butt the whole time. - Yeah, he's got that--
but then I'm, like, is the swag missing?
- Like, that johnny swag? - Anjelah: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought antonio did such a good job leading you,
and for neither one of you having a dance background,
I thought he led you so well.
Howie's movements, he has great moves.
I mean, he has a swagger and this passion that is--
like, it's hot.
Like, it's very palpable.
Loni: Tyler made me look good.
- I felt the passion coming from him. - I did too.
I came into this thinking I knew who I was going to pick. Now I'm torn.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
So now it's time to find out.
Fellas, in your opinion, who was the best baby tonight?
Well, ladies, you guys all brought your unique character to baby
and we fell in love with all of you guys.
- Aww. - But we had to pick one tonight,
and so we feel the best baby...
- ...Is cat. - Oh.
( cheering )
twitch: Nice! Cat, come on up here.
Cat really did show the essence of what baby was.
She was, like, looking into his eyes
and going with the flow.
She had fun, and she was free,
and she was sexy at the same time.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Absolutely. - She just fit baby the best.
How you feel?
I just feel, again, so grateful to corbin
because he taught me so much, and I feel beyond grateful.
Well, we're so proud of you. Let's give it up one more time for her. Absolutely.
- Cat! Yeah! - All right, ladies,
the next moment of truth.
In your opinion tonight,
who was the best johnny?
We were all torn,
but tonight the best johnny was...
- Tyler. - 'ey!
Wow. Wow.
Anjelah: Tyler blew me away.
He was so charismatic, so fun.
I am a competitor, and I like actually having competition.
It's on.
Tyler, how you feeling, man?
Aw, man, it's stiff competition,
and I look up to all of you guys,
so I feel honored to be here and to be next to you.
- I mean, you're incredible. - Thank you.
- You're a real superwoman. - And you're a gentleman too.
Twitch: So y'all listen, congratulations.
- Hot performances tonight. - Hot, hot.
As you can see, I'm still sweating. Still sweating.
What I need you to do now is go on back to your cabin, get some rest,
because everything could change tomorrow.
- All right. - Congratulations, y'all.
Our cast have picked the best baby and best johnny tonight.
