Mary Murphy Screams Failed to Save Max from Elimination

Mary Murphy’s screaming welcome aboard the Hot Tamale Train this week failed to save Max Kapitannikov from elimination. After Max and Kayla Radomski competed on Wednesday, Murphy rewarded the pair with her famous scream – and told them that they had not only nailed their routine, but belonged on her famed and fictitious “Hot Tamale Train.”

But on Thursday night it was revealed that viewers had voted Max and Kayla into the bottom three – and, after a solo performance, the show’s three judges eliminated Max from the show.

Kayla survived her dance-off, and will be paired next week with Kupono Aweau – whose partner, Ashley Valerio, was the girl eliminated by the judges this week.

In speaking with Max during his elimination, Judge Nigel Lythgoe explained, “No one has impressed us more with their hard work than Max, and you were probably limited in the dance-off by your ballroom style. ”

Lythgoe revealed that the judges’ decisions on which dancers were elimination was not unanimous. And he also pointed out that none of the couples named in the bottom three this week were actually among the bottom three couples last week.

In addition to Max and Kayla, the remaining bottom three couples this week were Ashley and Kupono, and Caitlin Kinney and Jason Glover. The latter two couples had not scored highly on the Mary Murphy Meter this week.
