Shannon Elizabeth became a decent dancer with the help of her delectable professional partner and co-canoodler, Derek Hough.  But her Achilles heel was her hip action, or lack thereof.  Her height and long, gangly appendages made it difficult for her to channel her inner Latin diva, and at no time was it more apparent than in her samba in week 5.  If you watch the clip with the sound turned off, you can't even tell that she's supposed to be dancing a Latin style.

Immediately after receiving the critique from the judges that she lacked any kind of movement in her hips, both she and Derek vented bitterly in the confessional room.  But watch the clip and you'll see that the judges were absolutely on the mark.
