Mark Ballas Eliminated...Season 5 DWTS 

Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas Dumped

Disney's The Cheetah Girls star Sabrina Bryan and her professional partner Mark Ballas were surprisingly revealed to be the sixth couple eliminated from Dancing with the Stars' fifth season during the live results show broadcast on ABC.

"Oh my gosh... [this was] an amazing opportunity. An incredible cast," a visibly shocked Sabrina said after host Tom Bergeron revealed she was the sixth celebrity participant sent packing. "I have grown so much as a performer out on this stage."

Sabrina and Mark's elimination came only two weeks after the couple scored Dancing with the Stars first fifth-season perfect score from the judges, a 30 out of 30 possible points.

However Sabrina and Mark were among the bottom two couples this week based on a combination of the judges' scores from Monday night's performance episode -- a 25, their lowest judges' score of the competition -- as well as home viewer votes cast following the broadcast.

Sabrina and Mark performed a foxtrot routine during Monday night's performance episode, and Dancing with the Stars judge Len Goodman backed off his comments from last week that the couple had "no weaknesses."

"The one thing you have to have in dance is light and shade," explained Len during Monday night's episode. "For me, although the performance was excellent, it was all too hard! It was too aggressive. This is the foxtrot... It was too powerful."

Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli said he knows Sabrina can be a "leading lady," but also agreed with Len's assessment of the routine. "Now you have to work in the finesse," he said. "Spatial flowing. Blend the moves into each other."

Bruno also pointed out that Sabrina lost her footing during a portion of the foxtrot routine, a misstep that wasn't lost on Dancing with the Stars third judge Carrie Ann Inaba. But overall, she was the kindest of the judges in her comments.

"Don't listen to them because I don't know what they're talking about tonight. I actually thought that was wonderful," commented Carrie Ann. "You were feisty when you needed to be feisty and you were smooth when you needed to be smooth. I thought Len was way too hard on you. I thought you did a great job."

The 25 Sabrina and Mark received for their foxtrot placed them in fourth place on the judges' leaderboard following Monday night's performance episode broadcast.

Sabrina and Mark's elimination drew gasps from the live Dancing with the Stars studio audience once it was revealed.

    Mark is by far the best male dancer on DWTS. His mega energy raises ballroom to a whole new level. His intellect shines through. And he's MASCULINE on the dance floor. He makes you believe that he loves his partner which just makes a girl swoon. Super cute and hot hot hot! = )

    Mark Ballas a.k.a. Mr. Babelicious is hands-down the best dancer on Dancing With the Stars. Just like all true Gemini's- we're artistic by nature. Once we get something right nobody does it better than us. His choreography, and swift moves are just mind-blowing. The man has rhythm! Now back to how edible he is...his bubble butt and gorgeous face coupled with his moves have me mesmerized. At my age (25 almost 26)I never thought I'd feel this way about an on-screen personality. I feel like a teen again. Isn't that just wonderful? I love it! Now I'm hooked to this show for all of the seasons to come because I simply want more of him. Can you blame me? No, I didn't think so. Just like you can't blame me for wondering how spicy hot he'd be in bed considering all those flirty moves he loves to do on the dance floor!
