Dancing With The Stars Week 8 Elimination – And So We Say Good-bye To Romeo Miller (Interviews)
Well, I don’t think any of us could say we weren’t pleasantly surprised with Lil’ Romeo and his dancing this Season. Like Kyle Massey last year, many of us had never heard of Romeo before he was picked to do the show and we ended up liking him and his dancing very much. But, what was really cool is that he never let us forget his causes for dancing. Last night, was no different. He took being eliminated like a class act and again he didn’t want us to forget about how important it is to be a fighter in life and not giving up no matter what. It was a lesson not only for kids, but, for us all. So, here’s to Romeo. I really enjoyed him and his dancing this Season and I’m sure his Dad is proud. Just think, at one time, Romeo and his Dad would never have been seen in a pair of dancing shoes. lol More below when he and Chelsea talk more on their journey on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and Good Morning America today.
Edit to add: Below is George Pennacchio interviewing Romeo and Chelsie as well;

Romeo exited DWTS with class and dignity and never let us forget how important his message was. His graciousness, respect, and sincere thankfulness to everyone upon leaving last night brought tears to my eyes. He has made me a fan. I will miss him (and his swagger). Good Job Kid.
Thanks CK! I didn’t realize there were two parts.
xx
Well said Sandy!!!
He said his dad is good at promoting stuff, lmao, because he is too! I don’t think Jumping the Broom would do so well without Romeo ‘shameless’ plugins on DWTS. It’s free publicity! That might have cost him the mirror ball, but it has definitely put him in movie producers’ good book. So, when they are going to make the next movie, who would they thought first? Plus, how much do you make if you win DWTS? I bet not as much as an actor starring in a big movie production, which is exactly what Romeo inspires to be. Romeo might be 21 but he has more entertainment industry experience than most of the stars and pros in the show. Gonna miss his sexy self though..
And so continues the trend of alternating girls and guys leaving. (First Mike, then Wendy, then Sugar Ray, Petra, Chris, Kendra, and now Romeo).
I’m mad, though, I really wanted Romeo to make it to the finals. Since I’m pissed at the judges too I think I’ll just not watch the show and vote like crazy for Ralph.
Great partnership, lots of mutual respect, lots of fun and good times, lots of hard work. Once Romeo decided not to be “too cool” and embrace the journey, he really took off, took Chelsie’s teaching and training to heart and really grew from the experience. Romeo’s made a new fan of me and I look forward to seeing the next chapters of his life and career.
Romeo IS a master promoter and he learned his father’s lessons well. However, many of the stars, and now the pros, have projects they promote – i.e. Petra’s Happy Hearts fund, Chris’s book and Mark’s album – and the show is a great vehicle, with a captive audience of 22 million viewers every week.
It looked like Chelsie was fighting back the tears in the George P interview. An emotional night, for sure.
Aw, Romeo & Chelsie, I was really rooting for this adorable couple. I agree they had mutual respect for each other and their chemistry was pretty out there! I think their Tango was fantastic!! I’m So proud of Romeo, he has such a good heart and is a role model and inspiration for young children. I know his parents must be so proud, He definitely gave it his all and Chelsie was great with him. See you at the FINALE Team RomeTower
Dee, so true how we’ll get to see him (as well as the rest of the Season 12 contestants) soon again in the finale.
I think that the early season attitive and cockiness did Romeo in. He did improve towards the end of the season, but your first impression is the lasting one. I think that is why you can often tell who is going to make it all the way by what they do in the first show or two.
Well, this season is a strange one for me. I ALWAYS give my votes to who I think is the best all around celeb dancer, but this season there simply isn’t one IMO.
These celebs all seem to have their “better” dances and “better” styles… so one week they are up and one week they are down in my estimation. But nothing has been really great. None of them are truly good dancers…to say the least. e.g.; I thought Romeo’s Tango this week was one of the better dances of the season…certainly his personal best. And this week I hated Hines’s dance…it was simply horrible…..awkward, disjointed etc. when in previous weeks I loved some of his routines.
That said, I truly am, for the first time in the history of the show simply voting for my favorite celeb and my favorite pro. Luckily they just happen to be dancing together….and that’s Kirstie and Maks.
Gotta say, despite less than stellar dancing, this season has been one of the most fun to watch because of the personalities. Mike, Chris, Sugar Ray, Romeo…..class acts every one. Not that the women were not….even Kendra was adorable (in a playboy bunny sorta way..ha) once she started enjoying herself. The only one that was a turn off for me was Wendy and luckily we didn’t have to deal with her very long. (It’s all about attitude and like ability girl…especially when you have no dance talent.)
I’m even enjoying Mark’s choreography this season even though everyone is complaining about him breaking the rules. His “stuff” is really innovative…and it makes up for losing Derek. Ha. Who, after watching the recaps of previous results shows, I realize how much I miss. Nothing like watching those two guys dance together. Wow.
Anyway, I really don’t care who wins (for the first time)….so I would like to see “my” Maks get a mirror ball….and for Kirstie to get to “represent” for the old folks. Ha. Would she be the oldest winner so far?
