Next week, the stars will continue dancing without a certain brunette bombshell. Actress Shannon Elizabeth was eliminated from the competition on Tuesday evening, despite the fact that her scores were not the week’s lowest. After a dramatic injury in which he dropped his partner to the floor, actor Christian de la Fuente left the show in the middle of a live broadcast on Monday night. Forfeiting points, he clocked in at the bottom of the list Tuesday night. It was revealed that de la Fuente’s injury was so traumatic that he needs surgery, so fans believed it was the handsome Chilean who would be going home. Then, the judges revealed that Hairspray crooner Marisa Jaret Winokur and Elizabeth were in the bottom two. Finally, Elizabeth and professional partner Derek Hough were announced as the eliminated pair, ending a tumultuous stint on the popular dance series. Last week, Elizabeth was reduced to tears as the judges tore apart her dance moves. Elizabeth graciously exited the show, declaring that in Hough, she had found a friend for life.
