Dancing With the Stars Elimination: Margaret Cho

by at .  Updated at .

An hour of filler. The return of Michael Bolton. The ouster of Margaret Cho.

That's last night's Dancing With the Stars summed up in one line. Not too much drama, or too big a shocker. Just the pretenders slowly being cut from the field.

We were sad to see Cho go, if only because she was personally so invested in this, as she showed during her video montage. That's what the show is all about.

GIVE IT CHO BEST: Margaret sure did, and will be missed.

The other two pairs who were "IN JEOPARDY" (the show loves saying that) were Bristol Palin ("bumming hard") and Rick Fox (please). Who are the real bottom two?

Maybe it's best we don't know, but why is Rick out there? No way he could've been at the bottom, based on skills OR votes. Bristol Palin, on the other hand, likely was.

Margaret and Bristol did have the two lowest scores among this week's Dancing With the Stars performances, so you can't argue one of them deserved to go on merit.

Just ahead of them were The Situation (who must have earned a week's reprieve from sweating it out) and Florence Henderson. Rick had to have beaten them both.

Okay, moving on to the words we were ALL waiting to hear: "Here to support our show and do what he does best is Michael Bolton!" Oh yes, Bolton was back, baby!

Last week's booted contestant, whose ouster triggered a minor "Bruno vs. Bolton" controversy, gets high marks for coming back and leaving on a high note.

Literally and otherwise.

After Susan Boyle bailed at the last second, the show found a nice fix tapping Bolton to perform. Love him or hate him, it was a nice way to end a quasi-scandal.

What do you think of Cho's elimination? Did the voters get it right by ousting her? Who are you rooting for now on Dancing With the Stars? Vote!

We should have started dancing with one arm waaay before.

I am not the best dancer, and I have not been the best dancer from the beginning. I am happy we made it this far.
