Keyshawn Johnson Is ELIMINATED From "Dancing With the Stars"

 

Former NFL player Keyshawn Johnson was the first celebrity eliminated in season 17 of ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” tonight.

Based on their performances last week plus their audience votes, comedian Bill Engvall and Johnson were both in the bottom two, putting them in jeopardy of being eliminated.

Johnson had the second-lowest judges’ score of the night last week for his cha-cha. Bill Nye, who had the lowest judges’ score of that night, also for a cha-cha, was safe from elimination tonight.

Elimination is decided based on combined judges’ and viewer votes. The audience votes from last week and tonight were combined with the judges’ scores from tonight’s performance, and the star with the lowest overall total was sent home.

When he learned he was going home, Johnson said he was happy to have had the experience.
