Surprising Final Elimination on 'Dancing'

November 18, 2009 | Dancing With The Stars
Joanna Krupa eliminated on Dancing with the Stars

Despite their strong scores on Monday night, swimsuit model Joanna Krupa and professional partner Derek Hough were eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" before next week's season 9 finals.

"It's been such an amazing experience. Thank you to the judges," Krupa said after the elimination. She added, "I've grown as a person and thank you for giving me the opportunity. I had a great partner."

Krupa and Hough then danced their Viennese Waltz to "Hallelujah" while the credits rolled.

The show was jam-packed with other performances too. The audience got a sneak peek at a dance sequence from the upcoming musical "Nine," and Alicia Keys and Leona Lewis also took the stage to sing. Season 8 finalist Melissa Rycroft returned to the dance floor for a barefoot performance with former partner Tony Dovolani while the Bee Gees sang their 1970s anthem, "You Should Be Dancing."

Reality TV star Kelly Osbourne, singer Mya and performer Donny Osmond will compete in the finals on Monday.

I was extremely disappointed at the result of Tuesday’s outcome. Joanna and Derek never should have been disqualified. They received high ratings from the judges and were far
above Donny and Kelly in their performances. Donny and Kelly have done very well, but do not compare to
Joanna and Derek and Mya and Dimitri.
This show has lost the meaning of what it is meant to accomplish - choose the best dancing couple over a series of weeks. What it has turned into is a popularity contest, not who is the best dancing couple. I believe the majority of the voters are voting for whom they like, not who is the best dancer. The judges need to have more of a say at the end as to whom should receive the honor
of the best couple. I have danced all of my life and something has to change on how this show is run. The best dancing couple is not winning, for example last year’s winner. I believe that the producers should find a new way of voting or stop the show. Ther are also too many distractions. Thank you!

I was for Joanna to win the whole thing. Her being eliminated was not fair
Kelly should have gone Joanna is a far better dancer than Mya.

Joanna was awesome, but it’s Mya all the way!!! With her toughest competitor gone, she now has a better shot at the trophy. I just hope Donny’s and Kelly’s greater star status won’t stand in the way.

Joanna is by far the better dancer than Osmond or Kelly. Popularity will win again. Joanna was great and should be proud. She is also beautiful and looks like a beautiful person inside, too!

I voted for Joanna and very disappointed she has been eliminated. I really thought that she deserved to be in the final 3 (Donny Osmond did not danced as well —in my opinion)

I believe that Kelly should have left a long time ago. Her routines do not have the content and difficulty her fellow contestants have. I think praise is good but in comparison to the others, she simply doesn’t have it. However, she has given it her all.
Joanna really should be in the finals.

Im extremely unhappy. I really think JoAnna should have won the whole thing. She has no training and went was so good and looked like a professional. I think the Osmonds on both shows have a name and thats the only reason they got to the top 3. I hate the fact that they are always over the top in drama. And Joanna was so humble and Derik was such a great coach.
Will miss them

Kelly was not better than Joanna, that said an all girl final is not as much fun!! Mya is the best but Donny has the votes. Carry Ann has been giving Kelly better scores and Donny lower scores than the other judges.

The best person doesn’t always win, just look at when Shawn won!!

I think that someone like Kelly Osborne who ** never dance in her life*** should be in the final. Miya is a great dancer as well and so precise. it was about time that Kelly left. She danced very well and its because she had a excellent partner. SHE THINKS SHE WAS ALL IT….

I thougt this was a dancing contest - not a popularity contest. Joanna was a very good dancer - I think it was time for Kelly to exit. Very bad

I AM VERY HAPPY FOR KELLY. WHY SHOULDN’T SHE CONTINUE. SHE COULD DANCE JUST AS WELL AS THE OTHERS. SHE DOESN’T HAVE THE “I THINK I’M GREAT” ATTITUDE.

ALL THE WAY KELLY…………..

So unfair! Just because her name is not as popular as Donny ( he shouldn’t be there anyway!) his dancing was pretty bad! He should be out!!!! Not Joanna is one of the best dancer. Stupid people vote for this things!

Joanna is a better dancer than Kelly but basically I think the voters just don’t like Joanna and that’s what cost her to be eliminated.

I am so happy for Kelly. She has gotten really good and she is the most humble celebrity up there which I think is so nice. She doesn’t have an attitude or seem to think she is better than anybody like the others that are left. I really hope she wins all the way. Yeah Mya is good but she has had some form of dancing lessons in her life & Donny does not deserve to be in the finals, he is an entertainer not a ballroom dancer.

That’s not fair..I thought was Kelly Osbourn was going to be out, she is terrible. Jo Anna & Derek got highest scores. It look like Mya & Dimitri going to take it all the way! It would surprise to see Donny & Kim wins.

I am devastated at tonight’s results. Something needs to be done for the credibility of the show. It is supposed to be the “BEST” Dancer….not the most
“popular” one! This is very sad indeed.
The two best couples are Mya and Dimitri and Joanna and Derek. I am so sorry to both of you. The only reason I will watch next week is in order to vote for Mya and Dimitri. I love Donny to but….he wasn’t better than the aforementioned couples. Please get real and please change this so it doesn’t happen in the future. It is a beautiful show but a bit of a sham now!

Sincerely,

Sandy Jones
