Pull out a chair for Cher! Chaz and partner Lacey Schwimmer were declared safe in the first round of eliminations. The two leading couples – Ricki Lake and Derek Hough, J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff – will also dance again.
The night's bottom three couples were Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya, Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas.
In the surprising end, Cavallari and Ballas were sent packing.
"This is truly crazy," head judge Len Goodman said of the results, which prompted booing in the audience. "It's just madness."
"I'm a little surprised to be honest but I've had such a great time and it's been such an awesome experience," Cavallari, 24, said.
"I was really proud of Kristin," Ballas, 25, said. "She had great potential and she killed it last night. I'm honored to be her partner."
