Mario Misses the Mark on DWTS

Yup, the youngest competitor of Season 6 of Dancing with the Stars, Mario, was eliminated in Week 8. Mario and Karina Smirnoff were right on the verge of the Semi-Finals, but the pair plateaued, and it was their time to go.

That also means Marissa Jaret Winokur is moving on along with Kristi Yamaguchi, Jason Taylor, and Cristian de la Fuente. I can’t believe Marissa’s huge turnaround from the beginning of the series. Even with all her improvements, I have to take a chauvinistic stance and say that Marissa simply can’t win due to her physicality. She can dance, but lacks that natural elegance of a championship dancer.

Here’s a short clip from this week’s mambo illustrating this point. Do her back and front kicks look stunted to you?
