In 2011, Kristin Cavallari—whose debut memoir Balancing in Heels (f.k.a. Balancing on Heels) is due out in 321 days—competed as a Star on the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars. She was the third contestant to be eliminated, besting only Metta World Peace and one of George Clooney’s ex-girlfriends.

Here is a snippet of Kristin’s most memorable performance—an ambulance-inspired “samba” set to an occasionally flat cover of “Crazy in Love.”

Why did she get eliminated so soon? An earlier version of the “Kristin Cavallari” Wikipedia page provides an explanation. We cannot say for sure if the following was written by the dancing Star herself, but it was certainly composed in the emotional style of Kristin:

Cavallari was on the thirteenth season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and partnered with two-time champion, Mark Ballas. Despite having high scores, Cavallari was the third to be eliminated, shocking the audience, judges, and fellow dancers alike. One of the judges, Len Goodman, commented that he expected to see Cavallari dancing in the final. The cumulative average of Cavallari’s dances were higher than of contestants who had lasted twice as long as she did.

The paragraph has since been edited on Wikipedia to read:

Cavallari was on the 13th season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and partnered with two-time champion, Mark Ballas. She was the third to be eliminated.

Defamer can confirm that the facts presented in the edited version are correct.

Here is the full video of Kristin’s samba that shocked the audience, judges, and fellow dancers alike.

Shortly after she was sent home, Kristin told Us Weekly, “It is what it is. That’s the thing with Dancing with the Stars, you never know. It’s clearly not a dance competition!”

This has been 500 Days of Kristin.
