Who knew there were so many rodeo fans out there?!?
A night after Ty Murray clearly put on the worst Dancing with the Stars performance, the cowboy husband of Jewel managed to stave off elimination. Instead, that dishonor fell to rapping ex-con Lil' Kim and her partner, Derek Hough.
While Hough referred to her as an "amazing soul [and] amazing spirit" soon after the show, he also admitted that his initial reaction to being paired with Kim was nothing short of sheer terror.
"I was like, I think I'm going to get shanked in the middle of a dance. I'm serious. But the second she walked in there she was like a beam of energy, so sweet and so nice. As the weeks went by, I just love her more and more and more and I'm really excited to spend some time with her without teaching her and drilling her."
As for the Lil' one, she took the surprise elimination well.
"I think this is one of the greatest experiences I've ever experienced in my life," she said.

This is a prime example of what happens when we as fans,
get over confident, and stop voting. Lil Kim was a far better dancer than Ty Murrey, and
yet last night she was eliminated. The shock at the in the room as her name was called was was so apparent.
Did she deserve to go, No absolutely not.
But we as fans let her down not the other way around. I am tired of these peoples humanity being used against them when these contests are supposed to be about talent.
Lil Kim being described as an ex-con. Give me a break and give Lil Kim the respect she deserves. Even on Idol, people are digging up as much dirt as they can on the front runner, Adam Lambert, mostly as to his sexual preferences. What has that got to do with his abilities as an artist. Clay Aiken is gay. and one of the greatest showmen of all time, was not only gay, he was flaming. But all that was forgotten when he walked out on stage. He put on one of the best shows I have ever seen. Why can't we judge them as we are supposed to, on their talent?

To continue where I left off, For those of you who haven't figured out what celebrity I was reffering to, This amazing entertainer was the talented and flamboyant Liberace. One of if not the greatest show I have ever seen. Before seeing him, I had so many misconceptions, I had to entertain a client from out of town and they had requested Liberace, I remember thinking oh great a queer piano player. When Liberace walked out on stage it was magic and that magic went on through the entire show.I walked out of that showroom astounded by what I had just witnessed. To this day, I have never seen any show that can compare with his.I also developed a new respect for the homosexual community, I no longer use the derrogatory term queer. I won't go as far as to say I approve of their lifestyle, but it is not my place or any one elses to judge. We are all human, Why can't we all be humane?

I'll just say that Lil Kim was robbed last night on Dancing with the Stars. I wish her great luck wherever she goes ;she is a breath of fresh air to all who watch her perform. Blessings from Canada to Lil Kim and her partner Derek.

I like watching dancing with the stars but after i see Lil Kim got eliminated on tuesday show i tell myself i don't want to watch it anymore. This is the second time i see a dancer who is dancing very good and have the chance of making it to the final get eliminated over a dancer who is not dancing half as good as the person who got eliminated. A new system show be put in place where maybe the head judge can veto the decision. Ty Murray should have gone home on tuesday, good luck lil kim and fans you need to vote for your celebrity look what happen to lil kim and last season toni braxton. Vote don't take it for granted because the person is dancing good they will get to the next round. If i was Ty i will withdraw and let lil kim come back but that will never happen, but he should be eliminated next. I will like to see Janet Jackson compete in the next season.
