"Iron Chef" chairman Mark Dacascos and his partner Lacey Schwimmer and NFL star Michael Irvin and partner Anna Demidova were eliminated on Tuesday's "Dancing with the Stars" results show. Michael had the lowest point total after Monday's judges' scores were added to viewers' votes. Mark lost a dance-off competition against singer Aaron Carter.
"It's one of the greatest experiences of my life... It's really special," Mark said about his time on the show. He especially enjoyed getting to know his partner Lacey and the other celebrities.
"I think you did awesome last night... I love you. You're awesome," Lacey said to Mark.
"Last night was a great night and to see the audience here standing up... it's a way of saying they appreciate your hard work," Michael Irvin said. He called his time on the show "a wonderful experience."
It was Anna's first season as a professional dancer and she enjoyed it. "I want to say thank you to Michael for being a wonderful partner."
Mark Dacascos, who earned Monday's lowest judges' score, danced against singer Aaron Carter on Tuesday's show for a spot in next week's competition. Mark and Aaron had the second and third lowest combined scores after Monday's judges' points were added to viewers' votes. Monday Mark danced the samba with Anna Trebunskaya instead of his usual partner Lacey Schwimmer, who had the flu. All three judges applauded Mark for his efforts on the show but unanimously decided that Aaron deserved to continue the competition. Aaron and Karina Smirnoff earned a judges' score of 29 on Monday, including a 10 from Len Goodman, for their individual jive. After receiving points for their group dance, Aaron's Monday points totaled 53, the second highest score of the night. After the viewers' votes were calculated, Aaron was in the bottom three.
Aaron and Karina danced the jive in Tuesday's dance-off competition.
Bruno Tonioli, "I cannot believe that you are in this situation after last night's excellent jive and this was as good."
Carrie Ann Inaba, "I thought this was better than last night."
Len Goodman, "Aaron you're the comeback kid. When I think three weeks ago I was giving you sixes and last night I gave you my first 10... Again right on the money."
Mark and Lacey performed a cha-cha in their dance-off performance.
Len Goodman, "You're back to your best.. It was clean. It was sharp."
Bruno Tonioli, "You can turn more tricks than Heidi Fleiss."
Carrie Ann Inaba, "You are back."
Kelly Osbourne and partner Louis Van Amstel, Donny Osmond and partner Kym Johnson, Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough and Mya and partner Dmitry Chaplin will continue the competition next week along with Aaron and Karina.
To entertain Tuesday's audience, Colbie Caillat performed her song "Fallin' for You" and the Ballas Hough Band, fronted by professional dancers Mark Ballas and Derek Hough, debuted its latest single. Rod Stewart also sang "It's the Same Old Song."
Last week, actress Melissa Joan Hart and partner Mark Ballas and snowboarder Louie Vito and partner Chelsie Hightower were eliminated.
