- ^1 Each couple would perform two dances. The first was scored normally. The second, the relay dance, was different. Four couples each performed a 30-second routine to a specific dance (Salsa or Viennese Waltz for the men, Cha-Cha-Cha or Foxtrot for the women) back-to-back. The judges then ranked each of the four couples. The couple who came in first got 10 points for the relay dance, second place got 8 points, third place got 6 points, and fourth place got 4 points. Therefore, a team could have earned a maximum of 40 points in Week 1.
- ^2 Each couple performed two dances. The first was scored normally. The second, the marathon dance, was different. All nine couples performed a Mambo at the same time. One by one, the judges asked a couple to leave the floor.

Therefore, a team could have earned a maximum of 40 points in Week 6.

The couple who came in first got 10 points, second place got 8 points, third place got 6 points, and fourth place got 4 points. Therefore, a team could have earned a maxinum of 40 points this week. Joanna & Derek came in first place with 34⁄40 for both two dances. The tie for last place with 19⁄40 was between Michael & Anna, Macy & Jonathan, and Ashley & Edyta. Macy & Jonathan and Ashly & Edyta were the first couples to be eliminated.

- Tom DeLay was reported with having a possible stress fracture in his foot on September 15, 2009, just one week before the competition.[3] The injury did not keep him out of the competition. However, on the October 5th episode of the show, Tom Bergeron stated that the slight stress fracture had become a full stress fracture, and DeLay later reported that he had stress fractures in both feet, but that he was not going to continue the competition because of his doctor's advice.[4] On the October 6 results episode, DeLay formally announced that he would not continue as a contestant. He then accepted Bergeron's invitation to dance the Texas/Country Two-Step on the season finale, health permitting. Despite his withdrawal, Debi Mazar was still eliminated because she had the lowest number of votes, when normally when a contestant withdrew no one was eliminated that particular week and then the judges scores and votes would be combined for the next week.
- Mýa had to go to the hospital for stitches for a deep cut on September 20, 2009, after a glass shattered in her hand. This injury did not affect her performance.[5]
- After the September 22 show, Debi Mazar was rushed to the hospital with a torn muscle in her neck and chest.[6]
- During rehearsal on September 28, Lacey Schwimmer "severely strained" her hip flexors and abductors. Her injuries required 3 weeks of physical therapy. She continued to dance on the show during her treatments.[7]
- After the October 19 show, Kelly Osbourne was rushed to the hospital with a foot injury sustained during her Paso Doble routine.[8]
- Beginning with this season, the producers are imposing a maximum 5 hour limit on rehearsals as an attempt to reduce injuries, which have been on the rise in recent seasons. Also, contestants must take 30 minute breaks after every 2 hours and they must take one day off a week. However, in an interview with TV Guide, Maksim Chmerkovskiy said "nobody really follows it."
- Prior to the October 19 show, Derek Hough was sidelined by a bout of flu. Maksim Chmerkovskiy stepped in to teach and dance with Derek’s partner Joanna Krupa.
- Prior to the November 2 show, Lacey Schwimmer was also sidelined by illness. Anna Trebunskaya stepped in to teach and dance with Lacey’s partner Mark Dacascos.
- Prior to the November 9 show, during Week 8 rehearsals, both Karina Smirnoff and Aaron Carter came down with the flu. Although this did not affect their ability to perform, they were eliminated that week.
- On an interview on the finale, Mýa said that she was dancing on a sprained ankle for 5 weeks
