Just as Kelly Taylor came a long way over the years on Beverly Hills 90210, her portrayer came a long way this season on Dancing with the Stars.
Alas, the transformation of Jennie Garth from a shy beauty to a confident performer on the show wasn’t enough to save her and partner Derek Hough: they were voted out last night.
“I feel like I’ve come so far in this,” the actress. “And I’m so proud of myself — not that I’m gloating. But it was wonderful what Derek was able to do with me.”
Hough said he thought they’d be exiting, pointing to the momentum Marie Osmond has been building over the last few weeks.
“We had an inkling that this was our week to go,” he said after is became official. “You can’t stop the juggernaut [Osmond], so we knew this was probably our time. But Jennie had two encore dances. She got a perfect score. She made it into the semifinals. You couldn’t ask for a better run.”
A highlight of the results show last night was a return to the dance floor of crowd favorites – and new love birds – Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas.
