Dancing With The Stars,' first elimination

Things to Do

Dancing with the Stars, Season 12' had its first elimination and it may have not been a surprise.

"Dancing with the Stars" featured singer Chris Brown, dressed in all-white suit adorned with LED lighting. Brown performed two songs - and a backflip - in the season's first elimination show. (Spoiler alert)

Football player Hines Ward was a judge favorite with his fleet-footed and playful quickstep performed with dance partner Kym Johnson.

Kirstie Alley and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy - a judges' favorite - ended their week 2 performance with a surprising kiss.

Wrestler Chris Jericho and partner Cheryl Burke turned in one of the judges' favorite performances with their quickstep.

Talk-show host Wendy Williams and her partner Tony Dovolani were in the bottom last week, but their jive kept them kicking for another week.

Rapper Romeo and his partner Chelsie Hightower were middle-of-the-road and deemed safe.

Disney's Chelsea Kane and partner Mark Ballas were loved last week. But their experimental jive choreography was regarded as flat.

Quickstep moves of reality star Kendra Wilkinson and her partner Louis van Amstel kept her in the competition.

Petra Nemcova and partner Dmitry Chaplin performed a-less-than spectacular jive.

Boxing champ Sugar Ray Leonard and his partner Anna Trebunskaya were in the bottom two.

In the end, radio personality "Psycho" Mike Catherwood and his partner's Lacey Schwimmer racy jive didn't jive. Catherwood was the first contestant dismissed from season 12 of "Dancing with the Stars," and now only 10 stars remain.
