Lil' Kim has always been on top of the game but after the Monday, May 4 performance, she was let go from "Dancing with the Stars". Receiving only 52 out of 60 from the judges, Kim and her partner Derek Hough were bound to be in the bottom list along with Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower. But audience apparently were rooting for the rodeo star.

"She's an amazing person, an amazing soul, an amazing spirit and an amazing dancer," Hough said of Kim. The star herself was high in spirit although eliminated. She said, "This is one of the greatest experiences I've ever experienced in my life. I think I brought different viewers."

The result was read on Tuesday, May 5 where Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani brought an encore of their perfect 30 Samba. There was also the jazzy performance from Jamie Cullum that serenaded the quickstep of Agnieszka Kazmierczak and Urs Gaisenhainer.
