ABC/Craig Sjodin(LOS ANGELES) — Comedic actor Chris Kattan was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars Monday night, the second week into season 24. It was a bittersweet moment for the actor after he revealed earlier that he broke his neck 14 years ago and has pins along his spine which restrict his movement. Kattan and his partner Witney Carson danced to “Hey Ya!” by OutKast, but tied for the lowest score of the night with Mr. T. He was sent home.
In jeopardy with Kattan was the fiery Charo, who delivered another sizzling performance but brought in a low score of 25, despite a positive critique from the judges. She was clearly displeased with the results and things took a comedic turn for the worse when the 66-year-old icon told Bruno Tonioli, “I’m going to get you!”
High scores went to Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei and NFL running back Rashad Jennings, who heated up the dance floor during their individual performances. Normani and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy dazzled during their cha cha, this after just she returned from three concerts in Japan. Jennings and Emma Slater glided across the floor to “Suffer” by Charlie Puth. Jennings seems like a natural.
Monday night’s standout moment:
While Mr. T’s Paso Doblé to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky III was fun, it was the steamy chemistry between Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess during their Viennese waltz that caused Julianne Hough to speculate that “something” might be unfolding between them.
