DWTS Results - Goodbye Lil' Kim

It looks like quite a few viewers are rooting for the underdog.

I don't know whether Lil' Kim or Ty looked more stunned when the announcement was made, but the audience was audibly shocked by tonight's elimination.

Lil' Kim and Derek have been solid performers throughout the competition. They began in the high-middle of the pack and quickly rose to be one of the favorites, but it wasn't enough to get them into the semi-finals.

Over the past few weeks, I've been morphing into a Ty and Chelsie fan. It's fun to watch Ty's improvement and see the way Chelsie has brought him out of his shell. Ultimately, though, it's a dancing competition and Lil' Kim should have lasted at least one more week.

At least Lil' Kim and Derek lasted long enough to appear on Dance Center. I don't know quite what it is about the Dance Center segments, but I look forward to the cheesy, sparkly goodness of them each season.

The rest of the results show was a blur of Jamie Cullum and the remaining three potential DWTS pros competing in another round of dances -- this time while partnering former contestants Cody Linley, Lisa Rinna, and Maurice Greene.

It was good to see some old cast members return for a spin around the dance floor, but somehow I just can't seem to care about who becomes the next DWTS pro dancer. I'd be much more interested in viewer input for who next season's stars will be - though I doubt that would ever happen!
