Dancing with the Stars: Elimination night twofer

Once again, the WarmTV bloggers elected (begged) my mom to be our Dancing with the Stars correspondent. After each show, she calls me with her report...

It was a double-elimination night on "Dancing with the Stars" last night, which can be considered both good and bad. The bad is that fewer dancers means fewer episodes (I would presume), but the good part is putting strike power in the hands of the judges once in awhile. That helps keep the show more focused on the dancing and less about who is more popular or who has the largest fan base furiously dialing in votes from home. 

Here's the report from my mom:

"They did the usual recap of the dances from the night before. They had two guests last night. One was Taylor Swift, who sang a couple of songs. I didn't pay attention to the first song but the last one was her new hit, 'Love Story.' And then they had a group from Havana. I don't know who they were. They had their own dancers. It was very fast music and they were good.

"The fans eliminated Melissa Joan Hart and Mark. (Awww!) Then they had the dance off between Michael Irvin & Anna, doing the Samba, and Louis Vitio & Chelsie. I don't tremember what they said that dance was, but from the looks of it, I think it was the Jive. And that elimination was up to the judges. Bruno voted to keep Louis and Chelsie and Carrie Ann and Len voted to keep Michael.

"So Louis and Chelsea went home. It was time.

"Michael will probably go next week. I don't know ... there are still some other ones who could go. It's getting more serious now. I think Mya is doing the best, but that's my opinion. I don't know how much of a following she has, and it might not be enough for her to win. A lot of people might not know who she is. I had never heard of her. I don't know if Donny Osmond has enough of a following to keep him, but there are a lot of people who still love Donny Osmond. 

"It's double-elimination again next week. Personally, I like the dance-off because it allows the judges to eliminate the bad dancer instead of going by the popular vote all the time."
