"Dancing with the Stars" results night began with the post-mortem footage of all the performances from Monday night.

It was a close horse race in raw scores, but somebody has to go, and that somebody was a supermodel. That particular sub-set of contestants never does very well on the ABC reality competition.
The first three couples made safe were the best of last night: Mya, Donny Osmond, and Aaron Carter. All were amazing. Okay, Mya was amazing, Aaron was great and Donny was really, really good. No surprise as Mya and Dmitry Chaplin's Jive took Judge's pick this week.
The bottom two turned out to be Debi Mazar and Kathy Ireland.
When all the smoke and mirrors and guest performances were over, Kathy Ireland, who scored the same amount of points as Tom Delay, was sent home.
Interestingly, Kathy's biggest cheerleader was Dame Elizabeth Taylor, who apparently Twitters, a lot:
