" Earlier this month, Chicago native Marlee Matlin came home to dance and raise money for the organization that helped give the skills to become a star.

No More Marlee Matlin on Dancing With the Stars!

Well, I kinda saw this one coming. If you've been keeping up with the blog or watching the show you knew already that Marlee Matlin's performances on Dancing with the Stars were getting worse and last week Marlee Matlin was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars. Not sure if the dances were getting harder or if she was just getting tired of the hard work required that was made even more difficult by her deafness. Either way, her performance last Monday was pretty bad, the judges didn't like it at all, and apparently America didn't either. With a resounding Good Bye she was voted off and now no more Marlee Matlin on Dancing With the Stars.

The competition continues however with favorite Kristi Yamaguchi, pre-season surprise Shannon Elizabeth, and Marissa from Broadway. Kristi Yamaguchi (not Christy Yamaguchi by the way) is still the favorite to win and is doing stellar work. I think this week we'll see another guy get the boot and as much as the ladies like him, I predicting it will be Christian. We'll see.

Take care and thanks for keeping up with Marlee Matlin on Dancing With the Stars here. Remember to watch the rest of the season on ABC Monday nights!

Peace!
