It came down to Kristi Yamaguchi and Jason Taylor as Cristian de la Fuente was voted off "Dancing with the Stars" tonight in the first round of the elimination. The hunky actor was holding back tears with all his might, but the disappointment was all over his face.
The very sad moment followed a gorgeous guest appearance by Usher, who proved he can dance AND sing most beautifully.
It's only 15 minutes into the excruciating two-hour finale.

I thought the competition was rigged. So you wanted a female winner. Kristi has years of ballet, dance and competition and so you bring her into an arena with beginners and then degrade them because they don't perform according the trios standards. The beginners worked really hard and I thought they did well and had great personalities, too. Don't do this again. This was not a fair competition.
