Team Buttercup is on a break this week, as I join Mark Ballas on Team Butterball! I’m missin’ Louis a whole lot, but let me tell you—Mark has made this switch-up week so much fun. Until it’s time for y’all to tune in and vote, take a sneak peek behind the scenes!

DWTS BTS Collage 11. We made sure we got a good family shot while my boys were in town visitin’ us!

2. My sons, Bobby & Jamie, actually surprised me with their trip to L.A.! They showed up to support their mama, and it meant the world to me havin’ them in the audience while I danced.

3. I am so lucky to have landed a great partner like Louis.

4. Louis is the newest addition to our family. He fits right in, doesn’t he?

1. Louis and I danced the Cha Cha last week to Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”. It was such a fun number, and I really let loose.

2. I absolutely adored our costumes this week. They made me feel really sassy!

3. Alfonso Ribeiro did such a wonderful job hostin’ this week, but we sure missed Tom! Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family right now.

4. I just love that I have had the opportunity to make so many new friends!

Paula Deen - As a young girl growing up in Albany, Georgia, Paula Deen never dreamed she would become an American icon. As a young mother, Paula was living the American dream — married to her high school sweetheart and raising two adorable boys — when tragedy struck. Her parents died, her marriage failed and she began a prolonged battle with agoraphobia. With her boys in their teens and her family near homelessness, Paula took her last $200, reached deep inside her soul and started The Bag Lady, a home-based catering company that marked the start of Deen's professional cooking career. With sons Jamie and Bobby delivering lunch-and-love-in-a-bag, beginning in June 1989, Paula turned her life around by sharing what she knew best, traditional Southern cooking.
