ABC's " Dancing With The Stars" is coming down to its final episodes for season 33, seeing only five pairs after week 8.

Last night's episode was the franchise's 500th episode. Couples paid tribute to past memorable dances while adding their unique twists for season 33. There was also an "Instant Dance Challenge," where couples were given their dance style and song five minutes before performing it live.

Out of the couples left fighting for the Mirror Ball trophy, one Florida man is still standing. Or more so dancing.
