Dancing With The Stars Eliminates Petra & Dmitri While Next Week American Idol's Pia Toscano Sings for Her Boyfriend Mark Ballas

Well, the theme this week for Dancing with the Stars was Patriotic Americana. Or something like that.

I think both Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin are former communists from the former Soviet Union.

So, I guess it makes sense that that they'd get the boot because neither is American.

No.

That really does not make sense.

Both Petra and Dmitry are very likable.

I thought their quick-step to the Elvis classic "Viva Las Vegas" was very American.

Petra and Dmitri seemed to take getting the boot very well.

At the end of the DWTS's results show Tom Bergeron announced, "Thanks to our friends at FOX and American Idol, it's the network return of the sensational Pia Toscano. She'll be singing and it features what promises to be an amazing dance by her close friend, Mark Ballas."

How did Mark Ballas and Pia become such close friends, one can not help but wonder? Are American Idol and Dancing With The Stars filmed on the same studio lot?
