Suzanne Somers narrowly escapes elimination on Dancing with the Stars

Actress Suzanne Somers was close to elimination Monday night, just one week into the competition.

Somers and dancing partner Tony Dovolani were in the bottom two with the lowest combined score from the judges and the public after last week’s season premiere.

Last Monday, Somers and Dovolani danced the Cha Cha and went 70’s retro with jazzercise outfits to the sounds of “Let’s Get Physical” by Olivia Newton John. The duo scored 25 out of 40 points putting them near the bottom with Entertainer Redfoo and his partner Emma Slater who were eliminated.

Somers and Dovolani danced the Jive Monday night, improving their overall performance with a score of 28. The judges gave them rave reviews. On top of the Leader Board in week two are Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin and dancer Derek Hough.
