Original Telecast: October 14th, 2013

Wow! This was the most surprising elimination in many seasons past. Christina Milian and her partner Mark Ballas were ousted off the dance floor tonight on week five on DANCING WITH THE STARS. The bigger shock was that Leah Remini & Tony Dovolani and Bill Engvall & Emma Slater made it through to week six. No one would have predicted Milian’s exit so soon in the competition. She, along with Ballas, tied for first place tonight with Corbin Bleu & Karina Smirnoff. Remini came in last with a paltry 22 while Engvall was second to last with a 24.

This is  key reminder of how important the audience is in the voting process. Ballas realized it many seasons ago when he and Sabrina Bryan were eliminated far too soon. Tonight, sadly, he feels the pain yet again.
