‘Dancing with the Stars’ 19 results: Was Lolo Jones, Michael Waltrip, or Betsey Johnson eliminated first?

Nobody wants to be the first person eliminated from “Dancing with the Stars.” However, that fate fell on one person Tuesday night, and we found out if there was a huge shocker for the first time this season, or something a little bit more predictable.

Going into it, we would think that Lolo Jones was sent home, given that she had a first-time pro and her performance was also more or less a complete disaster. Also, she didn’t come off that well after the fact. Early on, though the people in jeopardy were Betsey Johnson, Michael Waltrip, and surprisingly Lea Thompson.

Ultimately, Lolo was in danger, as well. She and Betsey were in the bottom two, which was interesting given that Tony Dovolani could be sent home first yet again from the show. We feel for the guy sometimes, given he does not often have the best partners.

In the end, though, Lolo couldn’t overcome what happened last night. She was sent home, and we really feel bad for Keo because he looked like such a nice, supportive guy. This is mostly surprising to us because female Olympians do tend to do very well on this show, and have a large support base behind them. We do think that Lolo’s frustration after her low scores is what ultimately did her in more than her dancing. This is a show largely about having a good time, and her tone took away from that a little bit.
