Adrian Peterson's Elimination from 'DWTS' Sparks Fan Celebration
Former NFL star Adrian Peterson, a controversial casting on Dancing With the Stars due to his legal past involving reckless assault on his son, was eliminated from the show after failing to earn enough votes. Peterson and his partner performed a Dumbo-themed Viennese waltz, receiving positive scores from the judges. However, combining judges' scores with viewer voting results placed them in the bottom three. Peterson's departure was welcomed by many viewers on social media. The rest of the show featured dances themed to various Disney movies, with Xochitl Gomez, Ariana Madix, Charity Lawson, and Jason Mraz as the top scorers of the night. Next week's show will pay tribute to former head judge Len Goodman.
