Double-elimination night a shocker on 'Dancing with the Stars'

SHARE Double-elimination night a shocker on 'Dancing with the Stars'

After Monday night’s judges’ scores and audience votes, it was a bit of a shock Tuesday night to find Sabrina Bryan and Louis Van Amstel along with Helio Castroneves and Chelsie Hightower standing in the creepy red light awaiting their fate on the “Dancing with the Stars All-Stars” results show.

It was double-elimination night, and season 2 champ Drew Lachey was already sent packing 30 minutes earlier. Alas, luck ran out for season 5 champ Helio Castroneves as he was sent packing, too.

The big shock was learning that Bristol Palin will dance another day, even though she and partner Mark Ballas were at the bottom of the leader board Monday night.

We’ve seen it before; Palin’s fan base is one of the largest and strongest of any competitor in the history of the show. In 2010, Palin made it all the way to the finals even though her scores found her consistently near the bottom of the leader board for a majority of the season.

Next week, it’s all about celebs’ choices for their co-competitors. Should prove to be an interesting night of dancing.
