Dancing with the Stars 6: Top 6 Results Recap
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
             
Dancing with the Stars - Def LeppardFor the first time this season of Dancing with the Stars, the teams were required to learn and perform two different routines in two different styles, and lots of dramatic events went down.

The big news from last night's Dancing with the Stars performance show was that Latin heartthrob Cristian de la Fuente was sent to the emergency room when he suffered what he thought was a pulled muscle.  To add insult to injury, the judges awarded him with the lowest scores of the evening, leaving him more dependent than ever on audience favor.

In other shakeups, Olympic figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi ended the evening in second place!  It was Jason Taylor who took top honors last night.

Cristian shared with Tom and the Dancing with the Stars audience that he ruptured a tendon in his arm, and it will require surgery to repair.  However, the doctor told him that he will be able to delay the surgery if he continues on in the competition.

Here were the standings after last night's performances:

Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska - 55
Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas - 54
Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani - 52
Mario and Karina Smirnoff - 51
Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough - 51
Cristian de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke - 46

The teams who are definitely going to be returning for another week, in the order in which they were announced, are Kristi and Mark, Mario and Karina, Cristian and Cheryl, and Jason and Edyta.

This means that Marissa and Tony, and Shannon and Derek were in the bottom two.  Shannon and Derek unfortunately did not receive enough audience votes to overtake Marissa, so tonight was their final night on Dancing with the Stars.

And the other stuff.  Sadly, there were no young tykes from the Ballroom Kids competition.  But that's okay because Def Leppard performed.  Not once, but twice!  First, they sang their classic anthem, "Pour Some Sugar on Me."  Then, they performed "Nine Lives" off their latest album, Songs From the Sparkle Lounge.

Joining Def Leppard with some other non-elimination-related filler were two segments from DanceCenter, the SportsCenter spoof hosted by Kenny Mayne, Len Goodman and Jerry Rice.  Highlights included Jerry Rice winking and saying, "Kristi Yama-hoochie" and Jason Taylor farting.
