Reality television star Kim Kardashian was voted off.
Congratulations, Susan!
Soaps.com can't wait to see what you have in store for us next week!
Monday, September 29
Well, fans, Susan Lucci (Erica) has made it into her second week on the reality hit "Dancing with the Stars"! Of their thirteen dancing teams who began last week, there are eleven left!
Last week, comedian Jeffrey Ross and actor Ted McGinley; although Susan's scores weren't the strongest ever, her huge fan base - and a huge comeback on night two of dancing - helped push Susan into Week Two. You can read about Susan's first week here.
This week Susan and partner Tony took on the Rumba - and a very tough schedule! Susan is filming All My Children Wednesday through Friday, flying to Los Angeles for weekend practices and then filming "DWTS" Monday and Tuesday. Somewhere between the red eye flights, memorizing lines for the show and learning a new dance Susan has to sleep so you can imagine what her days are like!
Susan and Tony's Rumba! (Soaps.com)
Co-star and "DWTS" alum Cameron Mathison gave Susan some very good advice - to focus on whatever task was at hand so that she didn't get overwhelmed.
The Rumba was much better than Susan's Cha-Cha from last week but did seem to be a little bit slow. Judge Carrie Anne said Susan was elegant and loved seeing Tony's chest throughout the dance. Bruno said that Susan needed to go for it a little bit more and be a little bit more electric on the dance floor.
"The Rumba is a great dance for actors," said Judge Len, "because you have to act the part. It doesn't matter who you are with. That is what you did. You came out and acted the dance for us!"
Both Susan and Tony seemed very pleased with what the judges had to say. Tony congratulated Susan on her work ethic and her commitment to their dance.
The judges gave Susan and Tony 21 points, which wasn't the highest score of the night but wasn't the lowest, either.
We'll have to wait until tomorrow night to see if Susan will get to continue dancing into Week Three!
Right now it is up to America's vote - so let's get out the vote, fans, and keep Susan dancing for another week!
