Dancing with the Stars: Another celebrity eliminated

Dancing with the Stars: Another celebrity eliminated

The contestant David Alan Grier was eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars."

This fifty three year old comedian was bounced from the ballroom on Tuesday in spite of having improved his score by 2 points during the last-chance dance-off.

Alan Grier and his professional partner Kym Johnson earned 24 points out of 30 for their Viennese Waltz thereby beating Lawrence Taylor in the dance-off duel by 4 points. The judges praised about the pair's improvement. However the fans failed to keep the couple in the competition.

The viewer votes are combined with the scores of the judges for determining which couple is eliminated each week.

"From week one, Kym and I planned on being in the dance-off on week five, so my evil plan is coming together," added Grier before he got eliminated.

After learning his fate, he remarked the best part about appearing on the popular ABC show was getting to know his fellow contestants.

He continued, "There's so much support and camaraderie backstage that it's been awesome," "My biggest goal was to try and make Kym proud."

Thus the fans apparently spared the show's lowest scorer, reality star Steve-O, from elimination. He and professional partner Lacey Schwimmer grabbed just 18 points for their pantomime-inspired Viennese Waltz on Monday, but escaped Tuesday's dance-off.

The results of Tuesday show also featured appearances by a legend and a teen sensation. Etta James performed her signature classic, "At Last," and Disney star Demi Lovato sang her new single, "La La Land."

Apart from Steve-O , other competitors who still remained in the competition are rodeo champ Ty Murray, rapper Lil Kim, , former football star Lawrence Taylor, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson , country singer Chuck Wicks , "Bachelor" star Melissa Rycroft and actor Gilles Marini .
