Elisabetta Canalis became the second contestant voted off of Dancing with the Stars yesterday but she wasn’t surprised by the results.
“Maybe dance isn’t my thing. I’m not going to lie,” the Italian actress and best known in the US as George Clooney’s ex told People mag after being eliminated Tuesday night.
“This show was challenging for me because I had to learn how to ballroom dance.”
“I’ve never done it before. I hope to have learned something.”
Val Chmerkovskiy, Elisabetta’s dance partner said, “They are a lot of challenges for everybody. There were huge challenges for her. We’re a proud nation.”
Val pointed to our unfamiliarity with Elisabetta and Val who was new to DWTS as the reason for the couple’s early departure. “We’re a welcoming nation, but [Americans] have our idols and our own fan base. This show is about people and fans. We can’t compete with that.”
“Yesterday, we did [well],” he said. “But unfortunately they gave our score to five other couples. That killed all of our chances [of staying on the show].”
