DWTS Results - LT Can Finally Tee Off

It seems no one is happier to see Lawrence Taylor leave Dancing With the Stars than LT himself. Yes, now LT can get back to the golf course and start working on erasing dance terminology from his memory.

But for the rest of us who happily chasse our way to the TV every Monday and Tuesday night, week seven's result show was stuffed with ballroom goodness.

The show kicked off with an encore of Monday's group dance. All the stars and pros were back in their mod 60s togs (minus Chuck's shaggy blond wig). The dance was as fun the second time around, even with some minor changes, like Shawn's dance turned upside-down.

Next up was Natasha Bedingfield singing 'Soulmate' with Lacey and Dmitry performing a lovely dance that has since been swept from my mind by the following non-Macy's sponsored performance by Burn the Floor. That dance troupe may just be my favorite result show dance yet. Certainly my favorite of Season 8. Great music (History Repeating), gorgeous costumes, and amazing dancing.

And the dancing doesn't stop there. It turns out there will be at least one new pro in Season 9 and he or she will be chosen by America's votes!

Six wanna-be-DWTS-pros took to the floor in three separate dance routines. (Coupled up) Each dance segment introduced the competitors and showed some rehearsal footage before actually getting to the Liiiiiiive performance.

It's a tough call based on one dance and a few minutes of footage, but fans' votes will determine who will go on to the next round in their quest to go from plain old pro to DWTS-pro. See their bios and more info: DWTS pro-dancer competition.

That was about it for our chalk-full-of-dance results show, except for the filler piece with medical correspondents (the stars burn enough calories practicing each week to eat lots of junk food without gaining weight -- shocking!) and, of, course for the actual elimination.

At least it was a feel-good, no-hard-feelings elimination and that's kind of nice for a change.



Given his enormous smile of relief when his name was called under those evil red lights, I doubt LT will be showing up at the club house with sequined and fringed covers on his golf clubs, and he probably pitched his real dance shoes in Jimmy Kimmel's fire.
