It\’s official. Shannon Elizabeth has been eliminated from the Dancing With the Stars competition on ABC.
The sometimes-poker player made a good showing with partner Derek, but the dancing duo was sent home in fifth place. Though she seemed to give 100% effort to the task, the judges were unimpressed with her lack of hip action and fluidity in the dances. And the audience may have been put off a bit by the couple\’s emotional/angry reaction two weeks ago to the judges\’ criticisms, something for which they apologized the following week.

Sad to see Shannon get so far and be eliminated. Sadder that I must now watch the remainder of the season to see who wins.
