“Dancing With the Stars” served up a couple of huge surprises early tonight.
SPOILER ALERT: Kurt Warner and Bristol Palin, the two celebrities with the lowest judges’ scores Monday, were safe.
The performers in jeopardy were Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey and Audrina Patridge. Host Tom Bergeron said they were among the strongest contenders.
Massey learned he was safe. Judge Bruno Tonioli said he was surprised that Patridge was in jeopardy. Len Goodman said it was “ludicrous” that one of the two celebrities was going home.
And the celebrity sent packing tonight was … Patridge, a star of “The Hills.”
Carrie Ann Inaba shook her head in disbelief. “I just know I’ve had such fun,” Patridge said. She saluted professional partner Tony Dovolani and the judges. “It’s been such a fun journey,” Patridge added.
The ABC dance contest continued the rock week theme by enlisting Heart and Kylie Minogue to perform.
Next week, “Dancing” will mark its 200th episode and welcome back more than 50 celebrity dancers. Taylor Swift and Rod Stewart will perform. Former champs Kristi Yamaguchi and Apolo Anton Ohno will serve as competing dance captains to the current performers.
