“Dancing With The Stars” Week 2 saw the elimination of celebrity contestant Chaka Khan and her partner Keo Motsepe in “Hometown Glory Week: Part 1” on Monday. The pair's elimination had nothing to do with their Week 2 dance routine, as they were given the boot because of their last week's combined judges and audience score.

And Gary Busey and his pro partner Anna Trebunskaya are in danger zone this week. Tuesday’s episode will also witness one more elimination, TV Line reported.

Meanwhile, Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough managed to keep their top slot on the leader board, with a score of 25 out of 30 points for their tango routine. The teen sprung a surprise with the AC/DC routine. But, the dance did not quite live up to their Week 1 routine, though it was definitely energetic and exciting.

One of the best dances of the night was Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold’s jazz routine. The two danced to “ Don't Stop Believin”, which mesmerised the audience. Alex’s grace and strength were visible in the ball room as he matched Lindsay’s steps. They scored a neat 23 points, TV Guide reported.

And the most improved dancing duo of the night was Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her partner Tony Dovolani. They did a quickstep routine, and the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star even managed to smile and dance with light feet. She got a score of 19 points.

Nick Carter and his pro partner Sharna Burgess did a jive. The former Backstreet Boys star stumbled on the dance floor, but he recovered quickly and pulled off the routine. But, unfortunately for him, the judges were not at all impressed. He managed to score 21 out of 30 points.

Victor Espinoza and pro Karina Smirnoff did a jive routine. Victor looked uncomfortable throughout the dance as he tried to balance a sombrero on his crotch, rendering the judges speechless. Carrie Ann Inaba wished she could score Victor on enthusiasm alone. “It was unlike any jive I've ever seen before,” Bruno said. The pair scored 17 out of 30 points.

“Dancing With the Stars” Season 21 airs at 8 p.m. on Monday and at 9 p.m. on Tuesday on ABC in the U.S.
