'Dancing With the Stars' results: Who goes home this week?

It's another results night for Dancing With the Stars. Here are the high points:

-- The reprisal of the night is Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas' Charleston, which was fun, but a little overscored yesterday, I think.

-- Shakira performs a couple of times.

-- First wave of results: Mya and Dmitry Chaplin are safe, as are Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas. The first couple in jeopardy is Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff.

-- The pros give us a preview of what a group dance should look like, since the stars will be doing this next week. OK, it probably won't look exactly like this, especially since their group dance is going to be the hustle.

-- More results: Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel are safe, and so are Natalie Coughlin and Alec Mazo and Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough. After the break, still more: Mark Dacascos and Lacey Schwimmer are safe, as are Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova.

-- In one of the cutest montages of the season, the stars' kids run around and talk about how they feel about their parents being on the show. In one of the least exciting, DWTS is stressful OMG!

-- Results: Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson are safe. So are Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower, which leaves Chuck Liddell and Anna Trebunskaya in the bottom two with Aaron and Karina. The couple ousted from the competition is: Chuck and Anna.

I'm OK with that. He's a lot more likeable than I expected, but the dancing? Not his strong point.

What do you think?

I'm going to have to disagree with you on the Charleston by Mark and Melissa. I'm generally not a big fan of Melissa in other weeks, and I doubt I will be going forward, but this was one clearly amazing dance they performed!

Perhaps it was primarily Mark's perfect choice of music and choreography (and less so with her dancing skills), but that dance was one of the most entertaining, clever, and in-character performances I've seen on the show.

I'm definitely okay with Chuck going. Aaron being in the bottom I'm mixed on. I've been very unimpressed with all of his dances so far (with the Muppet quickstep as an exception), but I'm a bit surprised he is bottom two...

SKK: I didn't think it was overscored by a lot, just a teensy bit ... :)

I think Donny is so overrated and it is time for him to go too. He is as much of a ham as Aaron and the judges really let him have it but not Donny. Ok he is an Osmond we get it but is his dancing really that good/ "I don't think so". He is trying to pull all that show biz stuff out and it is better left for Vegas it is not what we want to see it is Dancing with the Stars not the Donny & Marie Show. Time for Donny to head back to Vegas

We were surprised that it was Aaron and not Louie or Michael in the bottom two, but I can say good-bye to Chuck with no regrets. Clearly, the women are stronger overall this season.

I am not big on the contestants this year but I would like to see Kelly Osbourne win.
