Dancing With the Stars Eliminates One More

Former football terror Lawrence Taylor is heading back to the golf course and he seems fine with that. He was eliminated Tuesday from “Dancing With the Stars,” saying, “I want all my boys to know back in Miami: I’ll be on the practice range at 9; tee-off is 9:30.”

Taylor and professional partner Edyta Sliwinska were praised for their performance Monday, but the pair came into Tuesday’s results show in last place, with 21 out of 30 points from judges.

Tuesday’s results show also featured musical performances by Natasha Bedingfield and Celtic Woman, and it introduced a new competition: Six professional dancers vying for a spot on the next season of “Dancing With the Stars.”

Six celebrities remain ballroom contenders: “Bachelor” star Melissa Rycroft and actor Gilles Marini, Rapper Lil Kim, rodeo champ Ty Murray, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, country singer Chuck Wicks. I would have to say while he has improved greatly, I don’t think Ty Murray has much chance of winning.  That said having 5 pretty strong contenders to win is very exciting and could be one of best competitions to date. I can’t guess fan voting but I give Melissa Rycroft and Gilles Marini the edge as best dancers.
