Brandy Dancing With the Stars

Brandy’s Dancing with the Stars elmination was nothing short of shocking last night.

Jimmy Kimmel was also shocked by Brandy’s Dancing with the Stars elmination, describing Bristol Palin’s move to the finals as “Hurricane Bristol.”

Jimmy Kimmel said “This was an outrage…true?” Adding that Brandy had a perfect score on one of her Dancing With the Stars semi-finals and that Brandy and Maks couldn’t have been expecting elimination.

Brandy is gracious, saying, “I hoped for the best and had no regrets,” noting that her confidence is back again.

Brandy Got Sent Packing While Bristol Survives on Dancing with the Stars

Judging by the last moments of the elimination episode on Tuesday night, things could get tense next week when the winner is nominated for this year’s series of the ABC dance competition Dancing with the Stars; Some audience members booed study in the final minutes of Tuesday’s results show when host Tom Bergeron announced that the pop singer Brandy was out and Palin, Bristol, Sarah’s daughter was the final round of competition next week. Actress Jennifer Grey stars Kyle Massey and Disney had already gotten the word that had been through the last week. Among racks, Grey dance partner Derek Hough was visibly surprised. Similarly, three of the series of professional judges and co-host Brooke Burke.

“This is such a shock!” Brooke said, throwing it to Bruno.

“I’m shocked,” judge Bruno Tonioli said. “I want to stress it’s very important for everybody to vote. It’s so close, every vote counts. I’m so disappointed!” Bruno emoted, asking Brandy if she’d come back and dance on next Monday’s performance show anyway.

“Will you come and do it for me, for us? Come on!”

Asked by Burke how she felt, Brandy responded:

“I don’t know how to feel right now. This hasn’t processed right now for me,” a surprised Brandy said.

Bergeron stepped up and hugged Brandy as she began to tear up.

Jennifer and Kyle had gone into Tuesday night’s results show with the most points from the three pros after performing two dances apiece on Monday. Jennifer got a perfect score of 60 for her two dances, while Kyle snagged 58 points. Brandy was right behind him at 57 points, and Bristol brought up the rear with 53 points from the judges, though that was her personal best on the show to date.

But that was business as usual for this edition of “Dancing.” Bristol, who went into the competition with no dance and no performance background, has consistently wound up at the bottom of the point heap. But, week after week, people — some who have watched the show and, if tweets, blog accounts and message boards are to be believed, some who have not — have been keeping her in the competition.

Who survives each week on this show is determined by a formula of judges’ points and people’s votes.

After the announcement, Bergeron asked Brandy’s dance partner Maks Chmerkovskiy: “This season struck me as the most surprising in that couples who would get their highest score on Monday night were often the ones who left on Tuesday night. What do you think has been different this season?”

Maks, with uncharacteristic restraint, responded that one thing he loves about the fact that his parents came to this country is “the fact that people vote and their voices count and I love the fact that the show represents that. And it represents the people’s choice.”

Tuesday morning, the Web site Jezebel linked to comments on conservative Web site HillBuzz, in which people discussed having figured out a way to game ABC’s email-voting feature, due to a technical glitch on the site.

“Here’s a hint: They don’t have to be VALID email addresses to register them with ABC.com, there is apparently no validation process,” said one commenter. “They just have to be formatted like a valid email address, and you must use a valid zip code and a birthdate that makes you old enough to vote. No, it doesn’t have to be a valid email address – I had one of my anonymous ones XXX@yahoo.com that I used, and then just did the sign-up process all over again with XXX1@yahoo.com and it worked.”

“Lord have mercy, I voted for 3 hours online! I got 300 in,” said another commenter.

After Tuesday’s results show, Hillbuzz posted a screen shot of Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough’s reaction to Bergeron’s announcement that Bristol, not Brandy, was the third dancer making it through to next week:

“Thank you all for helping Bristol Palin…just look at Jennifer Grey’s face… Says it all. Our Bristol is in the finale. The woman impersonating Jennifer Grey looked pissed. [Brandy] is eliminated and hopefully not allowed to drive herself home. How do we win this for Bristol?”

Dancing With the Stars Semi-finals

Jennifer Grey dominated Dancing With The Stars Monday night, scoring perfect 10s across the board on both of her dances.

It was a whole new Grey this week. Gone was the complaining about pains in her neck or anywhere else. Instead, she said, “I’m feeling so revved up about the next two weeks. Bring. It. On.” And she danced like she meant it. She’s at the top with a score of 60.

Kyle Massey charmed and shimmied his way through his two dances to take second place with 58. Said judge Len Goodman after his samba: “You’ve got a bionic bum!” And he dubbed him “Mr. Charisma.”

Brandy is right behind Kyle with a 57, after her Argentine tango earned her a perfect 30. Unfortunately for her, her first dance – a pirate-themed paso doble – only earned her 27.

And in last place: Bristol Palin with a 53. She has been in the bottom two six times this season. Her first dance, a paso doble,was highly-praised and earned her a 27. The second one didn’t go over as well and she scored a 26. Now the question is: Will Bristol Palin be in the finals?

Kurt Warner Dancing With the Stars Exit

Football legend Kurt Warner, who was eliminated from “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday night, told “Good Morning America” he was proud to be the last athlete standing this season.

“I was pleasantly surprised at how well we did,” Warner said of his performance with professional partner Anna Trebunskaya.

The former NFL quarterback and Superbowl MVP stepped outside his comfort zone when he traded the field for the dance floor.

“I played football for so long that it became natural, it became something I was good at,” Warner said. “['Dancing With the Stars'] was such a huge challenge. It was more difficult than I thought it would be.”

Warner agreed that many of the skills required of athletes probably translated to the dance floor.

“Commitment to your craft, willingness to work, footwork is always a big part of athletics. … Those things lended themselves to the dances,” he said.

Warner’s professional partner, Anna Trebunskaya, who has been paired with a host of athletes on the show, including Olympic skater Evan Lysacek and another football star Jerry Rice, said she was impressed by Warner’s performing abilities.

“The problem for athletes … they’re not really performers, don’t really know how to externalize how they’re feeling,” Trebunskaya said on “GMA.” “[Warner] went out there every single week, had a blast, and made everybody enjoy it.”

The judges praised Warner for coming out and having fun, but he received nothing but eights for the two dances in his final week, landing him second from the bottom, only ahead of Bristol Palin.

Fellow competitors Jennifer Grey and Brandy tied for first place, with Brandy winning the ballroom dance round and Grey taking home the crown for the instant dance.

Before his departure, Warner received a standing ovation and a chant of “MVP” from the audience. He exchanged hugs with his competitors and noted, “I learned a long time ago that life isn’t always about winning and losing competitions. It’s about relationships.”

Dancing With the Stars Week 1 Results

Bristol Palin, Brandy, David Hasselhoff, The Situation, Kyle Massey, and Kurt Warner went onto the stage to find out the results. The first person saved was Brandy, followed up by Bristol Palin.

Then we get a nice waiting period to find out who actually gets the boot off of Dancing With the Stars. Everyone thought that the elimination would be a shocker! Which, it already has been since Margaret Cho was saved.

The Situation has been saved by America! But not by much. David Hasselhoff did not get enough votes to stay in the show unfortunately. Somehow The Situation has more fans than the Hoff.
