After about an hour and 52 minutes of filler, host Tom Bergeron began by announcing the third-place couple, which was, to the surprise of no one, Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel. The crowd booed lustily, but Kelly took it gracefully.
An estimated 19.2 million people watched Donny Osmond win "Dancing With the Stars" — the smallest audience for the show's finale since the first season.
So it comes down to this: Donny Osmond, Kelly Osbourne and Mya. The showman, the Cinderella, and the … person who is a much better dancer than either the showman or the Cinderella.
The important task Tuesday night was to set the three couples who would compete in next week's finals. The first two couples to find out they would be there were Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson and Mya and Dmitry Chaplin — the first pleases the crowd most while the latter pleases the judges most. This left Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough and Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel to fight over the last spot. Kelly had lower judges' scores on Monday night, meaning that only audience voting could keep her in the competition.
Down to four couples, "Dancing With The Stars" finds itself with two natural dancers in Joanna Krupa and Mya, one sentimental favorite in Donny Osmond, and one Cinderella story in Kelly Osbourne. Monday night, those four competed for the three spots available in the finals. And, because episodes are still two full hours long with only four couples, each couple would do three individual dances — something that's never happened in the show's history.
Mya is three points away from perfect as "Dancing With the Stars" prepares to crown a new champion.
Shortly after receiving the honor of the encore dance for their weird robot-inspired paso doble, Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough became the first couple put through to the semifinals. To no one's surprise, Mya and Dmitry Chaplin were next to be declared safe, followed by Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson. That left only Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel and Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff.
After two weeks of double eliminations that have seen so-so dancers dropping like flies, "Dancing With The Stars" is down to five couples. Monday was the first night where every couple performed two complete individual dances — one ballroom dance, and one Latin dance styled in the manner of a particular era. The Latin round was a little stronger and a lot weirder than the ballroom round, but in the end, the longtime frontrunner was back at the head of the pack.
He shed tears on the show and once fought for his spot with a dance-off, but Aaron Carter has performed his last dance on "Dancing With the Stars."
This was to be another double elimination, just like last week's: the lowest scorer would be sent straight home, and the next two would have a dance-off, with the judges choosing the victor.
Monday night kicked off with the second week of double eliminations on "Dancing With The Stars." This week required every team to learn two dances: one alone, and one for a team confrontation between Team Paso Doble and Team Tango. Not only that, but Tom Bergeron announced early that there was another illness in the ballroom.
Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos have been booted from the ballroom.
The hosts reminded the audience early that, as always, the couple with the lowest combination of judges' scores and audience votes would go home. In addition to that, however, those with the second- and third-lowest totals would be part of a dance-off that would be decided by the judges, and whoever lost would also go home.
The second half of the "Dancing With The Stars" season is starting with nine celebrities still in the running, but they'll vanish in a hurry with two straight double eliminations (meaning that almost half the group will go this week or next). Monday night, the remaining couples danced their individual dances — either the jitterbug or the waltz — and then participated in a group mambo.
Michael Irvin pulled off another late comeback to survive on "Dancing with the Stars."
Solid performances on Monday night set the stage for a surprising elimination, since no one was bad, exactly. The first two celebrities to find that they were being left “in jeopardy” were Joanna Krupa, who stumbled on Monday, and Aaron Carter, who has been struggling for weeks. They were joined by Natalie Coughlin, making a not-unexpected trip to the near-bottom after a rare low score on Monday, as well as Melissa Joan Hart, meaning that every performer in jeopardy of going home was one who had strongly impressed the judges at least once.
There are still 10 couples left on “Dancing With the Stars,” but Tom Bergeron promised at the beginning that we are, indeed, halfway through the season with Monday’s Argentine tango and paso doble performances.
The first couple in the bottom two this week was Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff — a duo who had looked like early frontrunners, only to be plagued by Aaron's frenetic but ineffective style. The show then clarified that all the women were safe, meaning, as appeared likely last night, that it would be a man going home Tuesday night for sure. It was then narrowed down to Chuck Liddell, Donny Osmond, and Louie Vito and their partners for the other final two spot (meaning, among other things, that Michael Irvin was spared).
Natalie Coughlin won't be going for the gold on "Dancing with the Stars."
It's always dangerous when “Dancing With The Stars” plays with its format. Monday night’s episode brought new dances never before done on the show: the Lambada, the country two-step, the Charleston, and the bolero. It's safe to say that some worked better than others
Tom DeLay looked rough dancing a week ago and even worse on Monday night. With stress fractures in both feet, it seemed that the former politician was out of options. While he made it through Monday night's show, he announced Tuesday night that he was ready to take the advice of his doctors and withdraw from the competition. Sadly for Tom, he went home the week before he would have been doing his home state Texas two-step, so host Tom Bergeron told him he could come back and do it in the season finale if his feet recover by then.
Chuck Liddell (ly-DELL) has been knocked out — of "Dancing With the Stars," that is.
Do you agree with the judges? It’s your turn to give the couples your scores.
Billed as "the sexiest night of the season," Monday night's episode of "Dancing With the Stars" featured two Latin dances: the samba and the rumba.
Monday night's scores had been so close, and so many of the performances reasonably capable, that it seemed like almost anyone might be heading home on Tuesday night.
