Ricki emerged as the leader after Monday night’s performances, but apparently viewers didn’t call/text enough votes to save her. It was a shame that she was eliminated because she really was a great dancer. She came a long way this season and went home empty handed. Sad face.
Judge Bruno Tonioli called Ricki’s performance "unforgettable" and Len Goodman said it was "one of the most memorable dances of this or any season," but she couldn't make it to the end. Again, sad face.

In night one of the two-part finale of the dancing series, each dancing duo did a freestyle routine and a choreographed routine. Both Rob and JR Martinez received perfect scores for their respective freestyle dances. JR’s perfect score doesn’t surprise me, I mean that guy is great, he’s a war vet turned soap opera star turned dance pro? I can’t get enough!
At the end of last night, the final scores for the three remaining couples are as follows: Rob Kardashian and partner Cheryl Burke (57 points out of 60), Ricki Lake and partner Derek Hough (54 points) and JR Martinez and partner Karina Smirnoff (54 points).

And apparently, she's not handling the rejection very well. It can't feel good to get beat out by a Kardashian.
When it was announced Solo would be going home, she told Tom Bergeron she was thankful she had the opportunity to be a part of the ABC talent show.
"This competition is one of the toughest competitions I've ever been a part of," Solo said.

"I am so proud; I really cannot take the credit," Nancy gushed after her elimination. "It's been the whole crew at Dancing with the Stars. It's been my whole family who took care of [my] twins so that I could dance."
Grace later joked about her elimination with Jimmy Kimmel, calling it "a huge miscarriage of justice." Casey Anthony reference!
"I was robbed, that's a felony—even in California!" Grace said, laughing.

Monday night's performance got Arquette pretty stellar reviews from the judges. Judge Len Goodman, the guy that compared Chaz Bono to a cute little penguin, told Arquette he "turned himself into a dancer." Carrie Ann Inaba called his improvement "phenomenal."
In fact, it was Nancy Grace who received the lowest score that night.

He also managed to pick on Derek Hough claiming that he always gets paired with good partners hence why he’s won three times. Hollyscoop spoke to Derek last night at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles event honoring outstanding members of the Los Angeles community and he told us that he doesn’t care about what people say and all he is worried about is winning.

So in an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, Chmerkovskiy slammed his dancing pro costar.
“Derek Hough has been very supportive of his personal career on the show,” Maksim said. "When you say judges have been generous, with all due respect, if I had Nicole Scherzinger followed by Jennifer Grey followed by Ricki Lake, I probably would not be very upset with the judges either."

On Monday's performance, Chaz and partner Lacey Schwimmer earned only 19 out of 30 points, the lowest score of the night. They danced to a Broadway-esque routine that didn’t sit so well with the judges.
After performing a set to Phanton of the Opera, Judge Bruno Tonioli told Bono:
"It was like a cute little penguin trying to be a menacing bird of prey."
Well, at least he said "cute".

After Maksim and his dance partner Hope Solo performed a rumba on last night’s episode, he went nuts when Len Goodman called their performance the “worst dance of the season.”
Maksim shot back that the Len’s comments were “disrespectful” and that “The judges have their favorites. They always have.”
“I’ve been in this business for 50 years,” Len argued.
To which Maksim responded, “Then maybe it’s time to go!” Oh snap! If that wasn’t staged by the producers, then that was some Jerry Springer quality TV insults.

On Monday night, the lowest scoring celebs were Kressley, Chaz Bono and Nancy Grace. They've all been struggling to hang in there each week, so Carson's booting is not really a surprise.
So the elimination show started off with a really risqué Madonna Like a Virgin segment. There was a bunch of gyrating. From there, the guest appearance of the night was Kelly Clarkson, who took the stage to promote her latest single, Mr. Know It All.
