And the couple heading home on Dancing with the Stars this week, finishing in seventh place, is… Andy and Sharna! Honestly, absolutely no one was surprised by this result – Andy said in a pre-show segment that it was like “the roller coaster pulled in and it’s time to get out.” When they were announced as in jeopardy, and Brooke repeated that twice for additional impact or emphasis, Sharna replied, “Yeah,” like, “No duh, Brooke, stop trying to milk it!”
Even though it was obviously Andy’s time to go – his dancing was just not particularly good – that doesn’t mean the parting was easy. Everyone seemed genuinely bummed and emotional at his elimination; Peta was wiping away tears. And it was a fitting final routine for the eliminated couple, all about reaching for unattainable gems (clearly a metaphor for the Mirrorball Trophy). We will miss his routines, though, they were always entertaining.
Coming in seventh place is a good result for both Andy and Sharna. Andy did better than most comedians do on the show. And as a new pro, coming in seventh is about as good as Sharna can hope for. Other pros that came in seventh in their debut season include both Mark and Corky Ballas (seasons 5 and 7, respectively), Fabian Sanchez (season 6), and Anna Demidova (season 9). Tristan is the only new pro in the last six seasons to have achieved a better result (fifth place with Nancy Grace, season 13).
The other couple in the Bottom Two was Ingo and Kym. It will be interesting to see who gets eliminated next week, Ingo or Sean. After seven weeks of competition, Ingo has scored two more judges’ points than Sean, meaning they’re neck and neck. They are the only two contestants left to have been in the bottom two. So, essentially, their performance next week will make or break them.
Can you believe the quarterfinals are upon us next week? Are you sad to see Andy and Sharna eliminated? Who do you think will be next to go? And which pros are you hoping to see in next week’s Trio Dances? We’re hoping for appearances by Anna Trebunskaya and Tristan!
