'DWTS' Makes Shocking Elimination After Tamar Braxton Drama
TV

Braxton made it in time for the group dance and was saved from elimination, thanks to viewers' votes and her dress rehearsal.

AceShowbiz - It was a night full of suspense and tears on "Dancing with the Stars" Monday, November 9 night with Tamar Braxton being rushed to the ER earlier that day. The R&B singer barely made it to the dance floor but was lucky enough to be saved from elimination.

Braxton had a pneumonia stemming from exhaustion. "Tamar is not here. You've noticed that. She was taken to the hospital earlier today midday through dress rehearsal," co-host Tom Bergeron said at the top of the broadcast. "Now, I underscored at the top, this is very much a live show. We don't have all the information right now. She might return in time to dance live here. We'll keep you posted as we learn more."

She indeed returned to the show in time for the group dance, and for someone who had just left the ER, she was pretty impressive. Braxton joined Nick Carter and their respective pro dancing partners for a Rumba. The group landed the score of 27 out of 30. Braxton managed to escape the elimination although missing her solo piece. The judges made their decision based on her dress rehearsal.

Alexa Vega sadly went home, leaving husband Carlos Pena Jr. to fight for the trophy alone. The actress actually had the perfect 30 out of 30 score for her contemporary piece "Make It Rain". She even stole audience's heart when talking about her bulimic past. Judge Bruno Tonioli said she danced like a "possessed" woman, Carrie Ann Inaba called her piece healing while Julianne Hough applauded her strength.

Her Charleston group routine with Bindi Irwin scored 30 out of 30, but it was not enough to propel her into the top 5. The final score is the combination of the judges' scores and the viewers' votes. Carlos cried when Alexa was eliminated, saying he wished it was him instead. She was also tearful, but told Bergeron, "I'm so happy that we ended on this note."
