Dancing with the Stars: Who was eliminated — Charo, Erika Jayne, Mr. T?

Who was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars tonight? There were a wide array of candidates, but in our mind, we felt going into the show that it was really down to just three choices — Charo, Erika Jayne, or Mr. T. These three had lower scores, and in terms of popularity, we especially didn’t know what either Charo or Erika was going to bring to the table. Erika is a Real Housewife, and we’ve seen over time that women from this show don’t tend to fare all that well. That being said, Erika has a lot of dance experience under her belt!

Ultimately, though, the obvious pick to go home tonight was Charo, and it’s something that she even predicted herself in the middle of the show when she feared that her blowup (which happened after her last performance) would cause her to lose support from viewers. It also didn’t help that there were some reports out there claiming that she was incredibly unhappy in the time that followed said performance.

As for Mr. T, the main reason we were confident in his ability to stick around was that America loves him. He’s not the greatest dancer in the world, but there isn’t really that expectation for him to be. We feel like the main thing people want with him is to have fun watching him on TV. They do, so there’s no way that he can disappoint.

Full Results – The first couple in jeopardy was Charo and Keo Motsepe, otherwise known as the least surprising news ever. The second couple was Nick Viall and Peta Murgatroyd, which made us wonder if we were just getting punked by ABC. Did William Shatner actually cause the former Bachelor an early exit? Well, no. Charo is gone. There wasn’t much drama here. There didn’t need to be. Charo annoyed a good chunk of America last week, and this was the end result.

As for Nick’s future, we’d say not to worry too much. Our sentiment is that this was a red herring to fool you in terms of where he stood on the hierarchy.
