It is the morning after; Shannon Elizabeth from Dancing With The Stars was let go from the competition. It was sort of one of those shows where one minute it looked certain that one thing would happen and then something completely different changed the course.
I was thinking that Shannon would be the one to go until Christian de la Fuente was injured; and then, i thought…well, maybe it was exactly what they said at first…a pulled/strained muscle. Then when the show started up….the drama increased; and i second guessed myself. Ooops…they were building up the tension, insinuating that maybe the injury would put him out of the running.
Finally, it was revealed that Christian had spoken to the doctors after an MRI and he needs to have surgery on his arm as he has a ruptured tendon in his bicep. However, just when the audience thought…he was leaving…Christian announced that the doctor gave an ok to continue with the competition if he had been voted to stay.
Wow…i can’t imagine a doctor saying…it would be ok to continue to put that kind of strain on the arm if he was injured that badly. Truthfully, why would someone want to risk permanent damage? I mean, sure…Christian has worked hard to stay in the competition…but, please…this seems a bit serious.
In any case, there it is…Christian was voted to stay and that meant that the bottom two competitiors were Shannon/Derek and my long shot Marissa/Tony. I felt bad for Shannon she is mourning her loss. She said that she made a lifelong friendship with Derek. She seemed pretty sad…but, i also rejoiced that Marissa and Tony were given another week to display their wonderful teamwork. Gotta love this show, dont ya think?
