Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 5 Loser

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Features,

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).

The division of the sexes formally ended on tonight’s Dancing with the Stars: Season 6.  All twelves couples gathered for their last chance to dazzle the viewers before Tuesday’s dreaded double-elimination.

Last week, Adam Carolla and Monica Seles scraped the bottom of the scoring barrel (15 points each) while Mario and Kristi Yamaguchi (24 and 27 points, respectively) made it known they were the ones to look out for.  How did the celebrities fare with Monday’s dances?  Did they do anything in their second outing to change their standing in the competition?
