The ABC dance competition is bringing back its “Most Memorable Year” theme, with each of the 10 remaining celebrities performing to a song that encompasses an unforgettable or incredible experience in their lives. Look for Suzanne Somers to dance to the theme of her hit sitcom, Three’s Company, and “Bachelor” Chris Soules to pay tribute to his fiancée, Whitney Bischoff.

Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec will turn back the clock more than four decades — to 1970, to be exact. He explains to ABC Radio, “It’s the year my dad grabbed my mum and me and we crossed the border in communist country, Yugoslavia, got on a boat and came to North America, with one suitcase.”

Double amputee war vet Noah Galloway will undoubtedly bring even more emotion to the ballroom. His partner, Sharna Burgess, confesses, “I might cry during this one, so just be ready to see me looking like Alice Cooper after a big night when we get to the judges’ table.”

Riker Lynch, the Glee actor and R5 musician, will reflect on 2014, when, he says, his band “took off to the next level.” He says, “We did a world tour, our songs played on radio. We played festivals with Fall Out Boy and Paramore and Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran. Just really, really awesome stuff.”

One couple will be eliminated on Monday night’s show, which begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Here’s a rundown of the songs to which the couples will dance on Monday night:

  • Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess: “American Soldier” by Toby Keith
