'Dancing With the Stars' Week 8 Elimination (VIDEO)
This week was the Final Five's last chance to impress the judges before next week's semifinals round on 'Dancing With the Stars' (Tue., 9PM ET on ABC). But with America helping to steer the decisions, only J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff likely had a restful night's sleep after the season's first double perfect scores.!!SPOILER ALERT!!
Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus again scored the lowest overall total from the judges, just as they had last week. But whereas last week the gap between Grace and David Arquette was only three points, this week there were seven points separating her from the next lowest scorers, Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke.
It was narrowed down to these two couples but, in the end, fan support couldn't overcome the huge deficit and Grace was eliminated. That leaves four dancers who've really come into their own -- some expected and some a bit of a surprise -- set to face off in the semi-finals. Kardashian, Ricki Lake and Hope Solo are going to have their work cut out for them, though, as Martinez is building in momentum and judge support.
