DWTS Watch: A Double Dose of Elimination
Oct. 28 2009, Published 12:01 p.m. ET
In a rare double-elimination week on Dancing with the Stars, it was Melissa Joan Hart and Louie Vito saying their farewells to the dancefloor on Tuesday night after the Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star and the snowboarder came up short on the sixth week of competition.
On the elimination show, Melissa, who surprisingly had the lowest amount of votes, was cut first. That left the celebrities who also landed in the bottom three, Louie and football legend Michael Irvin to duke it out in a dance-off to determine who would stay and who would go.
In the end, judges Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba voted to keep Michael while Len Goodman was the sole vote to keep Louie, meaning the football player will dance again next week.

Melissa and partner Mark Ballas scored a total of 24 Monday night with a 20 in the waltz and 4 in the group mambo. A flu bug affected Melissa’s performance this week and she didn’t feel she was at her best.
But she told OK! afterward, “It’s all right.” Her only regret is “I promised my three-year-old son I was going to be dancing to the song "Bare Necessities" from Disney's The Jungle Book next week, and that’s not going to happen, so that’s a bummer. But I get to go back home to them!,” said Melissa, who lives in Connecticut with husband Mark Wilkerson and their two boys.
