Tuesday night’s Dancing With the Stars week 8 results show was undeniably entertaining, but for Aaron Carter fans, it was undeniably disappointing. Though full of enthusiasm and potential, the emotional 21-year-old pop star was apparently unable to grow a big enough fan base to proceed to the semifinals. Aaron & Karina couldn’t make the judges save them. I’m really unhappy for them I thought they gonna be on the finals… Anyway, show must go on! Here are some of the Week 8 highlights:

Last night on Dancing With the Stars, Mya and Dmitry earned the season’s first perfect 10, putting them leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the competition, who all fell within one or two points of each other.

Joanna and Derek get to reprise their futuristic paso doble (and not Dmitry and Mya’s samba), which points to who really should have gotten those ten’s last night. Right, Carrie Ann?

And, just as quickly as Joanna and Derek got the encore, they were also the first couple saved from elimination tonight, meaning they will dance in next week’s semifinals.

It’s back to Monday night’s competition, where Tom gets to go over all the drama. Looking back on it, I didn’t think Mya’s samba was that good. I feel wrong for saying that because it’s the only thing to get a perfect 30 all season, but maybe it’s just me. Back to the results (after a performance from Michael Buble): Mya and Dmitry are safe.

Since there’s three dancers left on the block and next week is only the semifinals, it’s safe to assume this week isn’t another double elimination. DanceCenter performs, complete with commentary from season two’s Stacy Keibler.

Next up is this week’s Macy’s Stars of Dance performance: Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas doing a paso doble to “Eye of the Tiger.” In tiger costumes. Which America voted on. This filler just keeps getting longer, doesn’t it?

Michael Buble sings again (which I can never get enough of), then the next safety is revealed: Donny and Kym. That puts the not-so-surprising pairs Kelly and Louis and Aaron and Karina in the bottom two. At this point I’ve just accepted the fact that no one votes for Aaron and that he’s probably going home. At least my votes counted!

More filler, this time with Susan Boyle, the Britain’s Got Talent overnight superstar. She belts out  “I Dreamed a Dream,” which still sounds as  good as it did on YouTube.

Back to the final results, which I feel like is just delaying the inevitable. I keep pleading my TV to put me out of my misery, and at the same time I keep asking myself why I’m such a fan of Aaron Carter. Why? Then, Aaron and Karina were announced as the next couple going home. Anticlimactic and sad.
