‘Dancing with the Stars’ eliminates its first celebrity

This season of Dancing with the Stars has been deemed as the most popular bunch. After two weeks of dancing, viewers said good-bye to actress Shannen Doherty and her partner Mark Ballas on Tuesday’s (March 30) telecast.

After learning that she had been eliminated, Doherty said the following:

“Dancing isn’t really my thing,” she said after learning her fate. “I did it for my dad.”‘

“To see my dad’s face light up the way that it did and how proud he was of me just filled me with this kind of amazing emotion of thankfulness,” Doherty said Tuesday. “I call that a success.”

Ballas appeared on Tuesday night’s show on crutches  after hurting his knee in rehearsals Monday night.  Apparently, Ballas  pulled the muscle off the bone and would’ve have been out of the competition regardless.

Many thought that astronaut Buzz Aldrin would be the one to go since he was in last place following his performance on Monday night. Aldrin only pulled in a total of 26 points out of a possible 60.
