The first celebrity was booted from the ballroom on Season 20 of “Dancing with the Stars” on Monday night.
(Spoiler alert! This story contains the results of Monday’s “DWTS” elimination show).
Redfoo and his pro partner Emma Slater were sent packing, taking their dancing shoes and sequins with them.

Suzanne Somers, Charlotte McKinney and Chris Soules were also placed in jeopardy. The model and former “Bachelor” were quickly saved, so it came down to Suzanne and Redfoo.
Tom Bergeron reminded Suzanne and Redfoo that they were “not necessarily the bottom two. One of you did have the lowest total of viewer votes and judges’ scores last week and will be eliminated now.”

Shock filled the ballroom when Tom and co-host Erin Andrews announced the results after seeing Redfoo and Emma show they had improved immensely from last week.
On the premiere episode, the couple ended the night at the bottom of the leaderboard. Tonight, they improved with their jive to The Knack’s “My Sharona,” earning a score of 31 out of 40, ahead of contestants Chris, Suzanne, Charlotte, Michael Sam, Noah Galloway and Patti LaBelle.
Judge Bruno Tonioli said, “You went from running on empty to running on plenty in the competition…You were ignited. Great.”
Julianne Hough praised, “I don’t think it lacked that much in technique. Sometimes we need a little fire to get us going.”
