Ian Ziering Expelled from Dancing
The judges embraced Ian Ziering this week, but the voters' arms weren't so open.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars Tuesday despite scoring his first 30 of the competition last night with his energetic Elvis-inspired jive and being called the most technically proficient dancer in the bunch.
"Hallelujah! That's the Ian I've been trying to pull out of you week after week," Carrie Ann Inaba told Ziering after he took to the ballroom in an Elvis Presley wig and white jumpsuit and jived to "All Shook Up" with partner and two-time defending champion Cheryl Burke, whose streak has come to an end.
"Cheryl, it means so much to be in this competition with you and to have gotten this far," Ziering said after learning he would be packing it in. "I've accomplished my goal. I've learned how to dance. I feel like a big winner just doing that."
Earlier on Monday, however, Ziering's tango rated a mere 28, although Len Goodman praised it as his best dance ever and awarded him a 10 for being "right on the money."
Ziering's exit leaves Laila Ali, Joey Fatone and Apolo Anton Ohno to hoof it out for the disco ball on next week's finale.
All three finalists were practically perfect in every way Monday, with Ali and Fatone earning perfect 60's for their two dances and Ohno missing a three-way tie by one point after putting Len Goodman off with a "too raunchy" cha-cha-cha.
"It was gyrations and raunch, and that's not enough," Goodman, the unofficial head of the ballroom police, informed the Olympic speed skater. Inaba, however, called it "the sexiest cha-cha I've ever seen." (She admitted, though, to feeling a little dirty watching it.)
Goodman loved Ohno's earlier quickstep, though, figuring the athlete must have "restless leg syndrome" to maintain such "fantastic" speedy footwork.
"The Apolo express is off on a magic ride, and you've taken America with you," Bruno Tonioli exclaimed, and Inaba thanked him for "setting the standard way high for the semifinals."
Ali also blew the judges away with a quickstep that, if you believe the rehearsal footage, was the product of several particularly stormy practice sessions.
"That's been going on since week one," said a smiling Ali of her sometimes tempestuous partnership with Maksim Chmerkovskiy. "Nothing is personal," Maks said. "It's just a very productive working environment."
The boxing champ also knocked 'em out with her cha-cha-cha, leaving no one surprised when she finished the night atop the leader board.
"With every step you hit the spot," Tonioli raved.
Off the ropes was Fatone, who rebounded with flying colors from a surprise showing in the bottom two last week.
A bit less razzle-dazzle in his foxtrot earned him 10's all around, with Tonioli calling the singer "Mr. Showbiz at his best" and Goodman saying it was a perfect example of "American smooth."
Fatone's exuberant take on the jive was a major judge and crowd-pleaser, as well.
"You've got something that everyone's got, but yours is much bigger—personality," Goodman said cheekily.
"You have more flash than Vegas and more tricks than Houdini," Tonioli added. "A suitable grand finale."
The real showdown takes place next Monday, when the final three perform one dance chosen by the judges and one freestyle routine—which means, be on the lookout for lifts, which have been taboo up until now. The winner of the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars will be named Tuesday.
