SPOILER ALERT! On tonight’s Week 7 elimination episode of Dancing With the Stars, one couple was beamed from Planet Mirrorballus back to a world in which the wearing of shirts and pants at the same time is more prevalent and encouraged. Catch the fallen Star after the jump; in the meantime, relive Monday’s performance episode with today’s full TV Watch recap and my Week 7 Crazy Costume Watch photo gallery! 
Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood were eliminated in Week 7. Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, cutest showmantic couple ever, joined them in the bottom two. Meanwhile, Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke had quite a scare but were not necessarily in the bottom three.
Evan Lysacek got the first post-show Pam hug. I thought that seemed relevant.
Discuss the Week 7 results show here. Be sure to come back tomorrow morning for my full recap!

I was really sad to see Pam go home. I think Niecy and her eating/jiggly parts humor got stale 2 weeks ago. She really isn’t a dancer, and Pam improved a lot. Nicole is just so unlikeable, so I hope Evan or Erin win. But I think to keep someone on who doesn’t even try to be serious most weeks kind of makes the “Dancing” part a joke.
Agree with all of it! Erin deserves this. Maks really deserves this.
Pam really did surprise me with her dancing skill, but after her group dance last night, she was the person to go home tonight. Bye bye character dancer
As a 42 year old, I couldn’t have done that! She was put back-to-back with Nicole doing the same dance (again), then side-by-side with her and Cheryl. I just didn’t think Niecy’s performance was better, did you? It was nice to see so many people change their mind about Pam, though.
No, and Niecy screwed up the Team Madonna dance, which was the worse team dance anyway. I like Niecy, but how much longer is she going to be there? And is Chad really a better dancer than Pam or Erin? No.
Chad is not necessarily better, but a favorite among viewers. That is what the hosts ask you to do..”vote for your FAVORITE dancer”.
Niecy did not screw up..Erin did. and Chad is really a…Better dancer than the both of them….Neither one can dance!! CHAD ALL THE WAY
PLEASE LET NIECY GO HOME!!!! SHE IS WAY BELOW THE OTHER DANCERS IN QUALITY!!!! THIS IS NOT A COMEDY CLUB, AND I AM SICK OF HEARING HER TALK ABOUT EATING!!! SHE BROUGHT DOWN THE TEAM MADONNA SCORE!! VOTE HER OUT NEXT WEEK AND GET TO THE SERIOUS CONTENDERS FOR THE MB TROPHY!!!
STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS OR EVERYONE WILL THINK YOU ARE 13 YEARS OLD AND USING MOMMY’S COMPUTER!!!
YES!! STOP PLAYING ON MOMMY’S COMPUTER! IT’S PAST YOUR BEDTIME, YOUNG LADY!!
She did not bring down their score. The judges said that Niecy missed a step but got back to it and Erin missed the sync but looked hot (Len). The choreography was not all that great either. So it was not Niecy’s fault.
But she didn’t look good while doing it, and that’s all that an audience would normally see.
It was the choreography. It was terrible.
Agree abt choreography. Team Gaga’s choreography was so much better thanks to Derek Hough.
and cheryl burke
Look everybody knows that just because you’re a good dancer on the show don’t mean you going to win look what happened with mia n that other guy …which I’m still mad about …
Very sorry to see Pam go. I thought she was improving every week, and very entertaining.
I wish Niecy Nash or Chad OchoCinco would go…
CHAD. IS GOING NO WHERE
WHY ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE GOT TO GO HOME!
Cuz they’re the worst dancers
zach, shove it up your @SS hard..thanks
I’m glad Pam’s gone, can’t stand her.
Erin Andrews aka “Big Bird” should have gone home. She positively looked like an ostrich in the feathered costume Maks dressed her in show before last.
So wish Nicole would get the boot – she is really not likable. Can’t believe Erin and Maks were bottom 2 – they are by far the best combination of dancing ability and amusing personalities on the show. Glad to see Anna doing so well this year.
Likeable? This is not a popularity contest
You realize people vote on this?
It’s a popularity contest in probably the most quantifiable way possible.
It’s a contest in which you vote for your favorite, not necessarily best dancer, so likeability is a factor. Why do u think Donny beat Mya, Emmit beat Mario etc.
Not a big deal as long as Niecy goes next week. Erin, Evan, Nicole, and Chad was always supposed to be the final four.
Not really, Pam should have at least been 4. Chad has improved but still looks gawky in frame, and as a guy, he just stands there while Cheryl does all the work. Pam went out with the third highest average for individual dances this season.
I thought Pam did a good job so I’m sorry to see her go. I’m also sad that Erin and Maks were in the bottom two since I thought they were great last night. There’s something really wrong if Erin is eliminated before Nicey. Nicey seems like a fun person but she’s nowhere near as good as Erin on the dance floor.
It’s votes people! Not enought people voting for Erin!!
I am sorry to see Pam go. I think her listening to what everyone was saying was her down fall. Pam is a sexual being and she toned down to please. I am happy that Niecy is staying. Like I said before, this show is about fun and making the audience feel that. You may not like her talking about her size and shape but you have to admit she does put a smile on your face. I just wish that Chad had gone. It would have been something if all those Nicole complainers got their wish. I am really happy about Evan. He puts a smile on my face too.
Not only is Niecy’s personality fun, but she has great footwork, unlike Erin Andrews. Why do you think they always put Erin in long dresses?
What are you talking about, Mike? This week Niecy was the one wearing the long dress that covered up her feet. The judges have rightly criticized Erin for her upper-body problems, but she’s almost always precise in her footwork.
NO..In case You haven’t notice, which You haven’t!! erin has been wearing long pants and dresses..so Please stop trying to undermine what people saw..screw up
Sorry Zach, but Erin’s footwork sucks. That’s why her costumes have been on the long side with full skirts. Niecy did excellent footwork on the Argentine tango. She’s a superior dancer to Erin who moves like a cross between a frog and a giraffe.
Niecey needs to go. I love her as a comedienne, but her dancing is not up to par! Chad is another one. The judges were tougher on Pam than on either Chad or Niecey. Each of those two finally do something right and get praised forever. Pam got ripped apart. If Niecey and Chad do not go soon, I won’t know who wins because I won’t be watching anymore! Pam was very entertaining!
I loved Pamela’s performances. She got into character so well, that it is feasible that the Baywatch babe could net an Oscar nom in the future, given the right role. Sad to see Erin and Maks in the bottom two as they are the most entertaining couple ever on the show. I don’t watch Ochocinco, as he bores me so rooting for him to go next week.
cHAD, IS GOING NO WHERE…SO ALL OF YOU CAN STOP HATING. PAM, IS A SWEETHEART,BUT SHE WAS OUT OF SYNC WITH THE CHA CHA LASTNIGHT AND OTHER TIMES. ( AND IF ANY OF YOU ASK? YES, I AM A TEENAGER ON MY MOTHER’S COMPUTER) THANK YOU!! LOL
GET OFF MY COMPUTER!! IT’S TIME FOR BED!!
Pam didn’t improve. Her footwork wasn’t fluid enough. Niecy and Chad’s footwork keeps getting better. Even though Niecy can be irritating, this is about dancing; well, at least it should be. The right person went home.
Im glad Pam went home, I just wish Mark hadnt of had such a bad partner this season. Maybe he would still be there.
Pam might have come off like she was going backwards while the others were improving, but a lot of it has to do with the assigned dance. She got the waltz, which is boring and difficult to make look fluid whether you do it on week 1 or week 7. I know they never will, but to make this competition fairer they should have everyone do the same dance type each week so we can really judge their relative skills and improvement trajectories.
The chemistry between chad and cheryl is mind blowing. I love the way that he dances, he really can shake his hips..better than evan..Evan is good with the ballroom dances and Chad is improving, but he is very good in the latin dances
Bummer that Pam is gone. She was a class act the whole way thru & seemed to be having fun. All my votes are going to Evan now.
