Swimmer Natalie Coughlin did not make it to the next round of "Dancing with the Stars" after receiving the boot this week. She only got 22 out of 30 from the judges for the Paso Doble on Monday night performance and the audience vote did not help. "I love this so much. I guess I didn't show it... but I really did... and I'm sorry," she said upon exit.
The three judges were somewhat surprised by the elimination of Natalie and the fact that Aaron Carter was also in the bottom two. "I'm heartbroken. ...The viewers, they want to support underdogs, but justice must prevail," Len Goodman commented on who viewers cast their votes to.
Natalie's partner Alec Mazo told her that he is "very proud" of the athlete and thinks she would be "awesome" in her future endeavors.
Nine couples remain and they will choose between Jitterbug and Waltz next week. In the group dance, there would be a Mambo marathon. Taylor Swift is the guest performer.
On another news, Kelly Osbourne said that she has not broken her ankle while dancing on Monday. She wrote on her Twitter, "Thank you much for all the well wishes it really hurts but the good news is it's not broken it is just gonna be a bit painful for a while!!!"
