Dancing With The Stars Results May 18 2010 Elimination:Chad Ochocinco Out – Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke were kicked off Dancing With The Stars during last night’s elimination episode before the final, making them the 100th celebrity to be banished from the ballroom competition.
Ochocinco came into the results show in last place, with 52 points out of 60 for his two dances in front of judges Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba.
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek and broadcaster Erin Andrews are the surviving contestants set to compete in the show’s 10-season finale.
Cheryl characterized her relationship with Chad – which has been the subject of much speculation – as a “special friendship that will always mean the world to me” while Chad said that what the couple built during dance practice will “continue for a lifetime.”
He thanked Cheryl and the show’s cast, calling his experience on the show “awesome.”
“I enjoyed the journey,” he said. “I met some wonderful people, and I got some great criticism that’s only made me stronger, man. In my eyes, really, I’ve already won.”
Cheryl called her partner “the most amazing, soft, gentle man in the world.”
During the semi-finals results show, Sarah McLachlan sang a medley of her songs, while former contestants Joey Fatone and Melissa Rycroft did a tango in costumes picked by the public – and Miley Cyrus, in a leotard and thigh-high boots, performed her new single, “Can’t Be Tamed.”
Chad will join previously ousted contestants Pamela Anderson, Niecy Nash, Shannen Doherty, Aiden Turner, Kate Gosselin, Jake Pavelka and Buzz Aldrin for the season’s final episodes.
