Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 5 Loser

DWTS, Priscilla Presley

Yesterday on Dancing with the Stars: Season 6, the celebrities did their best to find the Latin in them.  While it was another great night for Kristi Yamaguchi and Jason Taylor, sadly those two contestants were the only ones to get scores above 25.  (Last week, four couples got above that figure.)

Last night’s styles proved to be quite difficult for several of the amateurs.  The slow Rumba exposed some dancers’ faults (Priscilla, Cristian) while the fast Samba tested the abilities and/or timing of others (Shannon, Marlee).  By night’s end, Miss Presley - a former contender for the title - had earned the lowest score (21) while Marissa was steadily improving her overall average (21.2).

Last week, most of the dancers were floating on air after their impressive turns at either the Paso Doble or the Viennese Waltz.  By Tuesday, three of them had 10s, Marissa had confidence and Adam had a return ticket home.

Today, the celebrities of welcomed Latin night with either the sizzling Samba or the romantic Rumba.  Did someone finally reach the elusive 30…and was anyone able to make Carrie Ann cry again?  Read on!

DWTS, Adam Carolla

Last night on Dancing with the Stars: Season 6, we saw a large group of stars reach new personal highs with their dances.  Although it wasn’t a surprise to see Kristi Yamaguchi come so close to a perfect score (she received the first two 10’s of the season), it was a bit of a shocker to see Jason Taylor surge past former leader Mario.  (The football player also scored two 10’s.)

While they may not have been scoring 29’s, other celebrities made waves for themselves as well.  ‘s paso doble earned the actor his best marks ever (26), Shannon overcame partner issues to rack up her highest total (28) and Marissa dug herself out of a hole with a committed performance (24).

For its second results show, went back to the solo elimination system.  Misery may love company, but only one couple will end up getting the boot from this point on.

If the choice was based on Monday’s scores alone,  (19) would have been the one to go. The Broadway performer was the only person - and that includes Adam Carolla - who failed to surpass 20 points yesterday.  But viewers taking all three past dances into account would have probably put either Adam or Steve on the block.  Those two men averaged only 18.3 points per performance.

Two down, ten to go.  Last week on the , the celebrities were tasked with mastering either the Quickstep or the Mambo.  Those results helped in eliminating magician Penn Jillette and tennis star Monica Seles the following day.

This week, the amateurs took on either the fiery Tango or the fast-paced Jive.  Which performers eased into their dance like a fish to water and which ones simply got in over their heads?  Read on!

Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 2 Losers

Without a token model to cast off this time around, the viewers of ultimately based their first set of votes on sheer ability.

For the show’s first double-elimination, there were little surprises to be had.  After Monday’s numbers were combined with last week’s scores, magician Penn Jillette and tennis star Monica Seles both found themselves one foot out the door.  (Their grand totals of 33 and 30, respectively, were the lowest of the competition.)  Tonight, the fans gently pushed them the rest of the way out.

At this stage last fall, Josie Maran and Albert Reed were the first two to be let go.  The real shockers didn’t start developing until several weeks in.  Could we eventually see a Sabrina Bryan-esque elimination this season?  If so - when do you think it will happen?  Place your bets now!

The division of the sexes formally ended on tonight’s .  All twelves couples gathered for their last chance to dazzle the viewers before Tuesday’s dreaded double-elimination.
