(SPOILER: This story contains the results of Tuesdays elimination show) He may have jumped for joy, performing a Wham of an 80s-themed cheerleader styled jive to Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go on Monday night with professional partner Anna Trebunskaya, but another low score for Carson Kressley meant the end of his stay in the DWTS ballroom. On Tuesday, the former Queer Eye For The Straight Guy guru became the fifth celebrity eliminated from the show. Ever the positive spirit, Carson had plenty of praise for his time on the program. This has been pure joy for me and I hope I could make people smile and laugh and have a great time, Carson said after learning the news. It was great being here, he added. Carsons exit came following his second week at the bottom of the leaderboard. While never a top talent in the competition, the Carson-Nation host brought a positive attitude, style and some real comedy to the dance floor, whipping out routines that always made the judges smile. Original American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson performed on Tuesdays elimination show, and was impressed by the moves of pros Tristan MacManus and Kym Johnson, to her new song, Mr. Know It All, even expressring an interest in Dancing. If I could dance like that, I would be on this show, but I cant, the singer said. We could teach you, show co-host Tom Bergeron suggested. It would be a comedy, Kelly replied, shooting down his hopes of bringing her to the ballroom. Dancing with the Stars returns on Monday night at 8/7 C on ABC. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.
