Joanna Krupa was robbed.
Dumped from the competition because her name wasn’t Osmond or Osbourne, the supermodel should have been in the final two, squaring off with Mya. Instead, she’s like so many others in this contest, voted off because she doesn’t have a big enough profile. (Stacy Keibler, are you listening?)
Krupa was elegant, sexy, sassy and smart.
She lost to Donny Osmond — who was horrible Monday night — and Kelly Osbourne — who admitted she just made things up. Even playing field? Hardly.
Still, that means Mya is in it to win it. But she, too, could be bulldozed by the recognition factor. Kelly is clearly not going to win but Donny has enough of a profile to pull him ahead of the far-superior Mya.
Next week, as my grandma would say, “We’ll see.”
Some other things to note from Tuesday’s show:
1. “Wardrobe malfunction” has become a good way of excusing bad moves.
2. My what big teeth you have, Barry Gibb.
3. Melissa — the dumped “Bachelorette” — looked great. She should be back dancing. But why no shoes?
4. Cheryl Burke is always, always good.
5. The Michael Jackson tribute done by the professionals is Emmy worthy. Look for it to be nominated next year.
6. Why are there so many foreign professionals? Does the U.S. lack good professional dancers? Or are they all on “So You Think You Can Dance”?
7. Bruno needs a muzzle.
8. Samantha Harris could leave the show and no one would care.
9. Julianne Hough should be back on the show. (And, BTW, did you know she broke up with Chuck Wicks? Ah, how short these DWTS romances are.)
10. There’s a secret weapon behind Donny Osmond who hails from Siouxland. Tim Gallagher has the story and you’ll get it later this week in The Journal. Be looking for it.

Meanwhile, Vote MYA!

As the finals near, it’s pretty clear this is Mya’s competition to lose.
Donny Osmond fell apart Monday night. Kelly Osbourne was just grateful to make the semis and Joanna Krupa still has doubts that could derail her.
In the night of a thousand dances (or at least it seemed like that many) Mya was consistently good, as usual.
Still, the show’s producers made every attempt to wring tears out of each of the dancers’ stories. Joanna grew up a poor Polish girl, Mya had to deal with a broken family and Kelly and Donny had to contend with, well, the Osbournes and the Osmonds.
Marie Osmond showed up (with Mary Hart in tow) but LaToya was M.I.A.
Look for Donny or Kelly to exit. It all depends on how many fans each has…or how many Osmonds there are.
Next week, Whitney Houston will perform, which could make this a real free-for-all.
Bobby Brown. Where are you Bobby Brown?

Aaron Carter felt the cooling winds of the “Dancing with the Stars” voters Tuesday night and was booted. He didn’t cry, either, which showed some growth.
Sabrina Bryan turned up for her redo dance and, surprise, surprise, she found the “Eye of the Tiger” with old flame Mark Ballas (didn’t I call that earlier?). They wore some ghastly tiger outfits and had a few moves that bordered on rude.
But the dance Chelsea and Tony did to Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” was stirring. She moved like a scarf; he floated across the stage. It was pretty magical — and Boyle was, too.
Earlier, Michael Buble sang up a storm but why does Tom Bergeron feel compelled to sell the network’s web site every time a song is sung? Is the ABC Music Lounge the network’s way of competing with iTunes?
And, BTW, did you notice Maks and Karina — formerly engaged — back together?
Jane Seymour was in the house and Kelly Osbourne survived another week.
That means Ozzy and Sharon will be back next week.

The final four: One model, one singer, one Osbourne and one Osmond.
Oh, oh, O, O

We’re down to five finalists. That means the heat is on.
Sizing up the competition:
Mya: Solid dancer; good throughout the season; guaranteed a spot in the finals.
Joanna Krupa: She’s got Derek Hough, the secret weapon. He choreographs well and showcases her to good effect, even when she’s not all that. Their futuristic number Monday night was an Emmy-possible piece of work. Give her an edge.
Aaron Carter: Best of the rest, he has shown growth throughout the season. He’s still a little jerk and now he’s trying to cob some of Donny Osmond’s mugging. Yuck.
That leaves two family faves — Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond.
Both are vulnerable.
Kelly keeps getting rehab-like props, even though she was a little clumsy Monday. Donny really hit the bottom with his Adam Ant impression. It was dreadful, topped only by his bad costume.
That puts those two at risk.
Aaron could still be dumped but his departure would be predicated on his dink-atude, not his ability.
Donny has too many fans to lose at this point, so I’m betting Kelly if it’s not Aaron.

Final two: Mya and Joanna.
Winner: Mya.
Wednesday night? Susan Boyle sings on the show. Oh, dear. Will she dance, too?
And why, oh why, is La Toya still hanging around?

“Show business icon Donny Osmond.”
What in the world does that mean? When Tom Bergeron introduced Osmond with that rather lofty title Monday night, I wondered if “Flashforward” had caused me to miss something.
I think it’s just a writer’s way of saying, “We don’t have anyone who’s working on anything these days.”
That said, the ICON didn’t do badly, but neither did most of the participants. Monday night, it looked like the Iron Chef guy and Michael Irvin would be cut. Kelly Osbourne wasn’t as great as the judges said, but she seems to have enough fans to keep her in a few more weeks.
Mark Dacascos, the Iron Chef guy, wasn’t dreadful but he didn’t have much rehearsal with his fill-in partner, causing him to come up short. Irvin played the “coach” card and Aaron Carter tried to soften his reputation as the show’s dink.
Still, all of the dancers were pretty fun to watch in their group numbers. They had plenty of drama and some fairly sweet moves.
Derek Hough could be headed for a second Disco Ball trophy, considering his partner Joanna Krupa knows how to take risks. Mya pulled back a bit, hurting her chances for a hands-down win and the judges were so outrageous someone should tell them they’re not the show’s stars, no matter how lame the “real” stars are.
Len Goodman, the cranky judge, had the night’s best line: “I was tempted to dust off me 10 paddle.” If you think about it, it could have hidden meaning.
Best dancers Monday night: Joanna and Derek.
Going home: Michael and Mark.
Biggest show business icon: Wasn’t La Toya Jackson in the audience? (Seriously, what is she doing there week after week? Do we have to see her next spring?)

Melissa Joan Hart and Louie Vito are goners. They should have taken Michael Irvin, too.
Attempting to inject a little drama in the loser rehash show, producers had a dance-off AND a lot of drastic introductions. But really, bad is bad. Melissa stumbled. Louie frequently stopped and Michael — who will live to dance another day — ain’t no Emmitt Smith.
Taylor Swift sang, too, but this wasn’t much different than the appearance she (and others) make on the Friday edition of the “Today” show.
Take away the drama — the fake drama — and this is just a rerun.
My advice: Tune in the last five minutes of the “results” show and you’ll be just fine.
Louie should have been doing those backflips weeks ago.

A dance marathon? It’s a good thing — and the folks at “Dancing with the Stars” should think about doing more of them, particularly since they show just how bad folks like Michael Irvin really are.
Since this is a double-elimination week, it’s almost certain he’ll go home. Who else? Well, Louie Vito is vulnerable, but Melissa Joan Hart is my guess. She’s clunky.
Other observations:
1. What’s La Toya Jackson doing in the audience? Michael’s big week was LAST week. Is she angling to get on the next edition of “Stars”?
2. Aaron Carter is a little, um, full of himself. He’s pulling tricks we haven’t seen since Susan Lucci. A leopard doesn’t change its spots. He’s still a jerk.
3. Donny Osmond has to tone it down. He has been around Marie too long and now he thinks he has to do drama. Worse yet? He tries to act like he and Kym are Bobby and Cissy. Not.
4. Mya is coasting.
5. Kelly Osbourne acts like “Stars” is the only thing keeping her from rehab. She shouldn’t be so fragile. And that bit on the trapeze? Stupid.
6. Derek Hough needs to be the center of attention at all times. Even the flu couldn’t tone him down.
7. How many ads for “V” can they put on?
8. Mambo? You bet. The final dance was superb.
9. Best line: “The last refuge of the untalented are gimmicks and props.” Thanks Len Goodman, we couldn’t have said it better.
10. As bad as he is, Louie can do a mean backflip.

Natalie Coughlin got axed, which says plenty about the voting process on “Dancing with the Stars.” Hardly the worst, she shouldn’t have been in the bottom four, much less ousted. Still, there must be fan support for Louie Vito and Michael Irvin, the two worst dancers left in the competition.
They weren’t even in “jeopardy” (as Tom Bergeron likes to say).
The dancing twins — Mark Ballas and Derek Hough — were there with their partners as was Aaron Carter. Carter has a bit of attitude, which might explain his inclusion. But, really, Natalie?
With the bad, however, came some VERY VERY GOOD. That was a tribute to Michael Jackson that, I’m predicting now, will be a front runner next year for choreography in the Emmy competition. It was electric — something “Stars” sometimes isn’t. Sadly, La Toya did the introduction and now you know why the family didn’t include her in most of their performance ventures. I guess if you can’t get Janet, you have to settle for La Toya.
Still, she couldn’t smudge a perfect dance.
Top that “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Ultimate fighter Chuck Liddell didn’t have the strength to outlast some wimpier contestants on “Dancing with the Stars” and was sent home Tuesday night.
Surprisingly, Aaron “Cry-Baby” Carter was in the bottom two. He survived, however, after what seemed like hours of waiting for the decision.
That said, Tuesday’s show was pretty boring. Even a bit about how stressed everyone gets didn’t seem to interest. Shakira shook a few things but, really, why do they bring singers on? Are they the Hamburger Helper of the show? Or an important part?
Next week, the survivors have to do two dances. If you remember the year Susan Lucci was on, that shouldn’t be much of a challenge. Remembe, she didn’t even rehearse that second “group” dance.
So, look for a lot of skin and a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on. Nothing diverts like shakin’ and bacon.

Ah, the agony of de-feet.

Tom DeLay had two stress fractures and had to pull out of the “Dancing with the Stars” competition. Debi Mazar kept looking at her feet and was booted.

Tuesday’s show was filled with filler but it also featured a pretty cool performance by Jabberwocky, a dance group, doing its version of “Singin’ in the Rain.” Why not just let the “results” show be a performance show? Then we wouldn’t have to wade through those stupid “will they get dumped or won’t they?” moments.

Sabrina Bryan, the “Cheetah” girl who was dumped several years ago, won some cooked-up contest to bring back an old star. How she got the votes is anyone’s guess. I’m betting the folks at Disney who have her under contract put in the fix. Then, of course, there’s the Internet rumor she’s dating Mark Ballas, one of the professionals. (Betcha he’ll win the “professionals” competition.)

DeLay, too, got a reprieve from the “Dancing” governors. He was asked to come back if his injuries clear up and dance the two-step on the finale. Oh joy.
