 Penn Jillette: Magician dances with tennis champ
The first couple, Magician Penn Jillette and tennis champion Monica Seles were eliminated from the sixth season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars". They came in last position in Tuesday's result.
The 53 year old Penn Jillette had danced with his magical quickstep, but his footwork failed to impress the judges. Despite his dismissal, the magician told that he and his professional partner would continue to rehearse daily and planned to perform in the parking lot. He said, "There's no way my dance career ends now".
Before announcement of Monica's name, the nine-time Grand Slam champion told that being the first woman to leave the show "would be really hard". She added, "I'm not used to losing".
Judge Bruno Tonioli acknowledged that her tennis prowess didn't translate to the dance floor: "You're not a performer, and it's hard for you". Still, he called the 34-year-old athlete "a legend".
Penn Jillette, whose full name is Penn Fraser Jillette is an American illusionist, juggler and comedian known for his work with fellow illusionist Teller in the team known as Penn & Teller.
The show's first double-elimination round also featured a Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatic dance performance and two live songs by tween fave the Jonas Brothers. The pop-rock group played a cover of a-ha's 1985 hit "Take On Me," which was released before the trio of brothers was born, and the new song "When You Look Me in the Eyes".
The remaining competitors include radio host Adam Carolla, pro football player Jason Taylor, Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi, R&B singer Mario, and actors Steve Guttenberg, Shannon Elizabeth, Christian de la Fuente, Marlee Matlin, Priscilla Presley and Marissa Jaret Winokur.
Each will perform the tango or jive on next week's show.  |
