One of our favorites landed in the bottom three on “Dancing With the Stars: the Results,” but did they escape elimination?


 
It was a close call for the seriously sassy Niecy Nash and her partner Louis van Amstel. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was again confused by their routine, and all of the judges wanted to see her tighten up on her technique.


 
But she wasn’t the only star in danger of being dismissed from the dance floor. Soap opera hunk Aiden Turner and reality TV star Kate Gosselin were also up for elimination.
 

 
With Kate’s wooden performances and drama filled practice sessions with partner Tony Dovalani, we just knew she’d be going home last night.  We were flabbergasted when she was the first person in the bottom three to be spared. How in the world do these two keep dodging the chopping block? Kate can’t have that many fans!

 
Next it was down to Aiden and Niecy. We’d have been sad to see either of them go, but you know we’re pulling for the “Clean House” comedian.  However, Aiden is very charming and just lots of fun to look at.

 

 
In the end, Aiden was booted from the ballroom, much to our surprise and relief. He wasn’t the worst dancer in the bottom three (we’re looking at you, Kate), but at least Niecy survived another week.
