In what appears to be an elimination round that definitely shocked not only the fans and followers of the show but the judges as well, the first contestants sent home for the Season 20 of Dancing With The Stars were pop artist Redfoo and his dancing partner, Emma Slater, according to E! Online.
Although the announcement of the dancers in danger of getting eliminated from the show already sparked negative reactions from the live audience, the revelation of the first week's casualty still earned moments of stunned silence as everyone has been raving over the couple's performance. Redfoo and Slater were accompanied by pairs Charlotte McKinney and Keo Motsepe, Suzanne Somers and Tony Dovolani, and Chris Soules and Witney Carson in the chopping block.
One of the things that made the eliminated couple an unlikely choice was the praises they received from the judges in their performance this week. However, some fans believe that the pair's performance last week, which earned them a meager 22 points out of 40, might have pulled them down in the eyes of the viewers. Therefore, their improvement this week, as reflected by the whooping 31 points they attained, could be a tad too late to save the duo from elimination.
"I'm happy I got the chance to dance," responded Redfoo when interviewed by host Tom Bergeron. The LMFAO singer also shared that he exerted his best efforts as well as praised his dancing partner.
Meanwhile, Erin Andrews remarked on the stunned expressions of the judges following the announcement of the eliminated pair.
"You've got to vote, guys," urged Bergeron, addressing the fans of the contestants and reminding them of the need to back their idols. "This is somebody who did a great job and because of viewer votes," he added as he appeared to be lost for words. "A tenth of a percent, a tenth of a percent," the host repeated as he, too, was in disbelief over the result.
Redfoo later took to social media his appreciation not only for his partner in the competition but also to his fans. The singer posted in his Twitter page, "#DWTS was more fun than I ever could have imagined! Thanks to a great partner & friend @emmaslaterdance & all the fans for the support!"
