Chynna Phillips & Tony Dovolani: “DWTS Is A Popularity Contest”

On the day of her elimination from Dancing with the Stars, but before she knew she would be voted off the show, singer Chynna Phillips said some clairvoyant words to the Huffington Post:

“It really does come down to the votes. And that’s kind of sad because it’s supposed to be a dance competition, but it’s actually a popularity contest, which makes me kind of sad. You know, you have to have a little bit of faith that there are people out there who are truly voting for their favorite dance, not their favorite person, because it is a dance competition and people are working really hard. It would be very sad if that was undermined, and it looks to me like that keeps getting undermined.”

Chynna’s DWTS partner, Tony Dovolani, couldn’t agree more. For once, he had a partner talented enough whom he could take all the way to the end –the duo had placed near the top of the leader board for the first three weeks of competition. This is what Tony said before the elimination results:

“It’s something that scares all of us [pros], especially the years when you might feel like you have a contender. In this particular case, I really feel like I have a chance to make it to the end. I’ve been on the show for 12 seasons, and Chynna has been a breath of fresh air for me. As much pull we have as teachers, in the end, it’s all about the celebrity…”

‘Dancing With The Stars’ Eliminates A Second Couple…

SPOILER ALERT: After three weeks of performances on Dancing with the Stars, a second couple was voted off April 5 on Tuesday night’s week 2 results show.

The couple who received the lowest combined votes and who were eliminated are Wendy Williams and Tony Dovolani.

Wendy and Tony danced the Foxtrot to Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Monday night. Wendy’s story involved her debut in media via the radio. She spoke of sleeping at rest stops and taking bird baths in between jobs when she first started. But all that struggle helped her learn who she is. Unfortunately, it didn’t help her on the dance floor. Here is what the judges had said about her performance”

Carrie Ann Inaba (5): “I respect a women who follows her dreams…But this week we took a step back and I am not sure why.”
Len Goodman (5): “Your story was about hard work and struggling to achieve your goals…And I know you must have worked extremely hard. But, we need to be honest. It was a struggle. It lacked fluidity. There was no movement…and I apologize!”
Bruno Tonioli (5): “The Foxtrot has to be long, smooth, fluid. It has to glide and at times it looked like you put down roots.”
Total Score: 15


Goodbye Wendy and Tony…
