Pamela Anderson Off "Dancing with the Stars"
After numerous attempts to redeem herself, former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson lost the viewers' support and was eliminated after her weak waltz performance on Tuesday night's episode of "Dancing with the Stars."
Anderson consistently struggled with her technique and footwork, but it was her convincing characterizations that helped her scrape by week after week. Her waltz on Monday night's episode received only a meager 24 points and proved to be insufficient for her to advance.
"This has been one of the best experiences of my life. That says a lot. I've had a lot of good experiences," Anderson said following her elimination.

The results portion of the episode opened up with Pussy Cat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger and ESPN reporter Erin Andrews. Scherzinger was declared safe, but Andrews landed in the bottom two with Anderson. Andrews went away with 27 points after her quickstep on Monday night, which the judges said was her best performance to date. But the viewers didn't agree and were unable to provide enough support for her stay on top.
"You should both be here next week," lamented head judge Len Goodman.
Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek, who scored this season's first perfect score of 30 points, was safe from elimination. Determined to receive the same score as Lysacek, Chad Ochocino was relieved and remains in contention. Although the vibrant and boisterous Niecy Nash carried the night's lowest combined score, the voters decided to keep her around for another week
The judges gave the encore dance to Team Gaga, the winners of Monday night's team cha-cha challenge. It was another stellar and entertaining performance from the team that included Scherzinger and Ochocino. Injured Anderson was replaced with professional Chelsie Hightower, who played the part well.
Tuesday night's results episode also included performances from Train and feature dancers from the Cirque du Soleil "Viva Elvis" show.
The fate of each contestant will once again fall in the hands of the viewers as next Monday we will see which couple dances their way to the top.
