Going home fifth in "Dancing with the Stars" are David Alan Grier and his partner Kym Johnson. The "In Living Color" actor received the lowest total combination of judges' score in the dance off and the audience vote.
The result night was begun with an encore of Lil' Kim and Derek Hough's Viennese Waltz and the scores from last night. Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke stood tall with 29 while Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer were in the bottom with 18. Two couples that went through first were Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas as well as Lil' Kim and Derek Hough.
It was intercepted by a performance of Etta James' "At Last" that serenaded Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy's dance. It was then the next two safe couples announcement. Through for another dance week were Gilles and Cheryl well as Steve-O and Lacey. Five more to go, Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough as well as Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani were safe.
Filler of the night was how the stars' life has changed throughout the competition. Also Macy's Stars of Dance that came all the way from Las Vegas performed. Demi Lovato the took the stage, singing "La La Land" while Benji Schwimmer and Torri Smith were dancing.
Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower were safe, and thus in the bottom two were Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska; and David Alan Grier and Kym Johnson. Both couples decided to reprise their dance from last night for the dance-off. Judges gave David and Kym 24 out of 30, compared to 22 from last night, and Lawrence and Edyta the exact score they received last night, 20 out of 30.
