Did Rob Kardashian Survive 'Dancing with the Stars' Elimination?

Two weeks ago, Rob Kardashian decided it was time to rededicate himself to practice with partner Cheryl Burke and start really putting in his all on Dancing with the Stars. But was his new attitude enough to save him from elimination?

Despite his hard work, the 24-year-old USC grad landed in the bottom two this week. But in the end, it was Chynna Phillips and Tony Dovolani who were shockingly booted from the ballroom.

Phillips and Dovolani were in first or second place every week of the competition until Monday night's "movie theme" dance, when Phillips failed to remember her Mission: Impossible routine and looked visibly shaken as Dovolani had to verbally remind her of the steps. They received a 21 for the performance, but seemed to remain one of the top contenders for the Mirror Ball trophy. Unfortunately, the audience votes did them in, putting their formerly "stunning" dances to an end.

"I'm disappointed, I'm sad, but I have to take responsibility. I messed up," Phillips said. "I have an amazing partner. I love you, Tony. You're amazing. He's been there for me 100 percent the entire way. I'm really grateful to have been on the show. Thank you for everyone who voted for me." 

"I really thought she was the one to beat!" Ricki Lake admitted after the show. "She had such beautiful lines and I'm so sad for her."

Before the elimination shocker, viewers were treated to a special visit from former Dancing with the Stars champ, Julianne Hough, who performed with her Footloose costar Kenny Wormald to a medley of the soundtrack's songs. And their crowd-pleasing performance culminated with country singer Blake Shelton's live performance of his new "Footloose" single.

 

Afterward, a teary-eyed Hough, 23, told the audience and her fellow dancers, "I'm emotional. This is like coming home." Later in the episode, Hough danced with her big brother Derek Hough, 26, who was safe from elimination thanks to his leader board-topping dance with Ricki Lake.

 

So what do you think? Was the right couple was booted from the ballroom?
