Alfonso Ribeiro will take the reigns on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars Monday night while longtime host Tom Bergeron visits his ailing father near Los Angeles. Recently, he took over for Bergeron as the host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” so hosting “DWTS” should come easily to him. He was season 19’s reigning champion and appeared on the show last week as a guest judge.

Going into Monday night’s results for “Dancing with the Stars“, it felt as though this was a particularly easy race to telegraph. With juvenile jokes about someone’s name (“Fat one”) or referring to himself as “big daddy”, he proved a little Ribeiro goes a long way.
Busey, whose last dance on the show was in homage to his Oscar-nominated role in The Buddy Holly Story, was disappointed with the elimination but insisted his spirit in the show would carry on.
Rounding out the bottom four on the leaderboard were Andy Grammer (23), Alexa PenaVega (21), Paula Deen (18), and Gary Busey (16).
Who’s gone: Busey joins the departed “Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Kim Zolciak Biermann, Triple Crown-winning jockey Victor Espinoza and singer Chaka Khan.
There’s Bindi remembering her late father and Nick remembering the early years of the Backstreet Boys.

The duos each performed a dance for Most Memorable Year Week, which called for routines inspired by the time in their lives that meant the most to them. Did she get pity votes from the judges?
