‘Dancing with the Stars’ 21 results: Were Carlos PenaVega, Alek Skarlatos, or anyone eliminated?

We feel like “Dancing with the Stars” really worked as hard as humanly possible to try to make people think that there could be an elimination tonight. They wanted that drama, and of course they wanted people watching as long as possible.

In the end, though, it was easy to tell that nobody was going home for one reason and one reason only: They need four people in the finale the way the show is structured now. Before the show went down to one episode a week, they didn’t have results on Monday. Now that they do, they need to go down to three performers on Monday, and then two during the finale on Tuesday. There is no other way to have this work properly.

As for who we think would’ve been going home, we’d say that Alek Skarlatos was in the most danger based on the history so far this season in scoring. We’re banking a little on Carlos PenaVega getting more fans who were voting for his wife previously, and Bindi Irwin and Nick Carter were the favorites.

Here was the surprising part of this results reveal to us: The claim that Nick or Bindi actually had the lowest combined total of public support and scores. Who was it? We’re starting to think that we were wrong about Nick’s impenetrable voting block, since we cannot imagine Bindi being in danger with some of the scores that she managed to put up over the course of the past couple of episodes, including tonight.
