Who’s out next on ‘Dancing With the Stars’? It’s a double elimination!

Loading ...Melissa Gilbert had a tough birthday. She was ousted from “Dancing With the Stars.”
But she has to be happy she made it as far as she did. Her average judge scores lagged far behind the other five remaining dancers.
“It’s been a real blessing and a joy,” she said, hugging her dance partner Maksim Chvermovskiy. “Maks has been amazing and an incredible teacher and incredible friend… I’m amazed I made it this far.”
The “Little House on the Prairie” star ended on a high note Monday, garnering her highest score to date with 27 for her Samba after a solid Foxtrot with a 24.
She was joined on the chopping block with Roshon Fegan, the Disney teen star, who was almost cut a week ago. This despite the fact he garnered two 10s on his first dance, an energetic Foxtrot.
This leaves four more dancers, all who have taken home consistently high scores week in, week out. Katherine Jenkins, the British singer, has averaged the highest scores to date with 27.2 after 10 dances. Actor William Levy is not far behind, averaging 26.5 after 10 dances, including his first perfect score with his Foxtrot Monday night. TV host Maria Menounos is a close third, averaging 26.2, then NFL player Donald Driver, with 26.0.

I liked Melissa Gilbert and thought she did a great job but I’m not surprised she was eliminated. The remaining dancers are the best and it is going to be really tough picking a winner. I like them all but I’m leaning toward either Donald or Katherine to win.

I was satisfied with the results. Roshon is so young and so eager I love
his attitude, he is talented I believe he’ll have a bright future in show business.
I can see great chemistry between Cheryl and William, they make dancing
well… sexy !

Good morning. As usual, waited for a thread on DWTS last night…why, cuz I have no life (lo).
Ummmm, who was surprised by the elimination. Putting a great dancer in the bottom only helps in eliminating the two less great dancers. Of course, Reshon and Melissa were going home.

Aw Pitchy, of course you have a life. The rest of us wouldn’t have one if you didn’t contribute your much appreciated humor to these threads.

I voted all season for Melissa and Max, William & Cheryl,& Donald&Peta. I think they are all great. I am so proud of Melissa for what she did with having a broken back and on a walker last year to dancing great with Max. She also probably has at least 15 years on the others.But I do believe that it was time for her to go. I am sending all my love (votes) to William and Donald. I don’t like Mark or Derrick so I can’t vote for the ladies. Just my thoughts.

I guess this week also shut up the people who claimed that Len always scores Derek higher than the rest . . .
Who are those stars!

I really hope William Levy wins this season of Dancing with the Stars! I think he is a good dancer and not to mention cute. I don’t watch Dancing with the Stars during the week because I have school and I work late at Dish so I catch up on the weekends. I am so happy I got my Hopper DVR because it catches all the primetime shows for me and now even lets you skip through all the commercials during primetime TV, its called Auto Hop! It’s freaking great to not have to watch boring commercials and get right back to the action.
