DWTS elimination: A kiss, a spell and a millionaire-maker goes home (New Zealand Herald)

Our first celeb has been eliminated from the ballroom and was done wrong by the public.

I was shocked, the public was shocked and this was more of a reality TV stitch-up than I could have ever imagined. Gray, who was dancing for ADHD New Zealand, was visibly emotional and Casey shared her sentiments, while other contestants hugged the Lotto presenter and her family cried in the stands. Then the moment was here, the bottom two, as voted by a combo of the public and judges voting were Gray and Vaz, but it was TVNZ presenter and Lotto legend Gray who went home. Kerre Woodham and Murray had a cheeky "kiss" and overall we loved it. It was a beautiful moment and we were rooting for him the whole way. Kane and dance partner Enrique Johns took the stage in sparkles, stars, mohawks and oodles of glitter.

DWTS Recap: First couple sent home from Dancing with the Stars ... (Stuff.co.nz)

There's already been grumbling online that podcaster Brodie Kane and former Olympian Eric Murray are at a disadvantage dancing tonight with less voting time ...

Think of us as your eyes and ears. There’s a frankly enormous amount of thrusting and Eli has blessed us with another great joke that will sail beautifully over the heads of the straights in the audience. Rhys is really the highlight of the dance for me, he spins an awful lot. David is just so likeable, particularly with the way he can’t help but sing as he dances. By the end of the season will any of the boys be wearing anything? There is a lot of pointing. Brodie wants to be Baby “not in a corner, not holding a watermelon” and really that’s all we ever hope for in life is it not?” She’s sporting an incredible mohawk and begins her very enthusiastic jive from a strange egg chair. That was surely the most complicated dance of the season so far. Eric was so impressive with his speedy feet and all the lifting, and spinning, and I don’t know…It was all quite distracting, all that chest hair, that hint of a mullet… The pace of this show is frightening… Stunning. Sharyn Casey has spectacular Cruella vibes and is clearly having a (mirror) ball, setting the tone perfectly for the show ahead. Very tall Alex Vaz will be hoping his shirt was sheer enough to soak up the mum vote because he had the lowest score of the night with 15.
