After surviving both elimination and a back injury, classical singer Katherine Jenkins and her partner Mark Ballas are ready to hit the dance floor on next week's finale of DANCING WITH THE STARS.

Not since Sherri Shepherd's early departure this season has DANCING (and its audience) announced such a shocking boot. Jenkins will keep on with her Welsh Wiggle, cavorting with a pleasant blankness; Driver will continue to foam at the mouth for a perfect 30; Levy will continue to cause housewives and their daughters (or sons) to wish they were pin-up girls, and thus, worthy of his attention. But Menounos will no longer cackel a la Fran Drescher or caper across the DANCING stage. BroadwayWorld's prediction of her claiming that mirrorball trophy, that perfect piece of mantle decor, is proven unfounded.
