Susan was voted off DWTS! (Soaps.com)
"Dancing With The Stars" changed this week fans, and the change may not be a good thing for our favorite dancer, Susan Lucci (Erica Kane). You can read about Susan's past performances here.
This week, the dance teams began dancing two numbers – one with their partner and one with a dancing team.
Susan and footballer Warren Sapp were chose as the team captains. Susan dubbed her team 'Team Cha Cha' because they were dancing – what else? – The Cha Cha! She chose to dance with Team Lance and Team Cody. Although the judges liked the dance and said it was definitely a Cha Cha, the took off points because the straight line portion of the dance was off. In the end, Team Cha Cha was given 20 points.
Susan dance with Tony was the Paso Doble and while the judges liked it, they didn't give Susan and Tony high marks. Len said the dance had style, passion and danger – all elements of a good Paso Doble.
Still, Susan and Tony only earned 24 points. Combined with the team score, that means Susan and Tony earned a total of 44 points. That may not be nearly enough because Team Brooke scored the first perfect score of the season (a 30) and Brooke's team dance earned her another 29 points! Wow!
All three members of Team Cha Cha were are the bottom of the pack, with Team Cody in the very last place according to the judges scores. Susan and Tony joined Cody and Edyta, who was filling in for an injured Julieanne, in the bottom two – and then Susan and Tony were voted out!
Bummer!
Susan and Tony received a standing ovation from the judges and the entire studio audience.
Susan said, "I have had the most incredible experience here. I want to thank all of you wonderful audience members and all the fans. Most importantly, I want to thank Tony Dovolani."
Susan, we'll miss you on "DWTS", but we're incredibly proud of how you did this season!
