Dancing with the Stars: Another celebrity eliminated

Dancing with the Stars: Another celebrity eliminated

Country singer Chuck Wicks  has left the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom.

Wicks and his professional dance partner and real-life girlfriend Julianne Hough were eliminated from the ABC dance-off on Tuesday.

Chuck Wicks had improved steadily throughout the season, thereby earning praise from the judges for his "hip action" and fun-loving attitude. On Monday the judges loved their cha-cha , with Carrie Ann Inaba insistence by saying, "You are definitely in the game." Wicks also made appearnce in a group dance, which ended with him and his fellow male dancers in black leotards and white tights.

This twenty nine year old  musician came into Tuesday's results show with a solid fifty one points out of sixty. However the fans failed to keep him afloat.

Actually the viewer votes are combined along with judges' scores in order to determine which couple is eliminated each week.

"To all the critics that thought we weren't going to last: We did it," added Wicks after learning his fate. He continued, "Now I'm going to go out on tour and enjoy doing what I love, and that's country music."

The week's low scorer, Melissa Rycroft , escaped elimination. She missed Monday's show because of a rib injury and earned only twenty one points out of 30 points from judges for a taped rehearsal performance.

Wicks added, "It shows you how many fans Melissa has," "I think the team dance did us in."

Tuesday's results show also included a performance by Robin Thicke and the continuation of the new professional dance competition. Four pro dancers are vying for viewer votes and a spot on the next season of "Dancing With the Stars."

Apart from Rycroft, other 4 remaining celebrity contestants include rodeo champ Ty Murray, Rapper Lil Kim,  Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson and actor Gilles Marini .
