Mark Dacascos and Anna-trebunskaya

Tuesday was the second double elimination show, with the lowest scorer sent straight home, and the next two would face a dance-off, with the judges deciding who goes home..

Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond and their partners were declared safe, then Tom announced that Mark Dacascos and Lacey Schwimmer. Mark of course was with stand in partner Anna had the lowest scores Monday night. They were joined by Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova, This meant that the final bottom place would be from either Joanna Krupa, Aaron Carter, and as we predicted on Monday Mya.But Mya escaped as Tom told Aaron he was in jeopardy a surprise, considering Aaron's two 10s on Mondays show.

Crunch time - Michael Irvin was the celebrity sent straight home without the chance to participate in the dance-off. It must be said that the NFL player had been surviving on luck and his viewer vote.

The dance-off was between the highest individual scorer on Monday, Aaron Carter, and the lowest scorer, Mark Dacascos, who hadn't been able to practice with his normal partner Lacey Schwimmer who was suffering a bout of illness, but in good news for Mark she was back for the dance-off.

Mark and Lacey turned in an adequate cha-cha-cha, but this was to be judged against Aaron's second jive in a row. Aaron goes directly into overdrive something that won the judges over on Monday and it was no different in the dance off so it was Mark heading to the taxi and home.

The show also featured the sounds of Colbie Caillat with a number accompanied by a routine from husband and wife pros Alec Mazo and Edyta Sliwinska. It again must be said Alec and Edyta dance perfectly together and are a pleasure to watch unlike Caillat.

The other guest singer was Rod Stewart, who is appearing on the UK version Strictly Come Dancing this week, his performance there will be accompanied by wife Penny Lancaster dancing a routine. Rod performed  "It's The Same Old Song," in a forgettable performance, the show's choice of guests with the exception of Shakira have pretty uninspiring.

In a twist dance pros Mark Ballas and Derek Hough turned singers with their band, The Ballas Hough Band, lads some advice stick with the dancing, to the show organisers lets not do tis again.

So five couples go into week 8
