Sasha Pieterse Transforms into 'The Little Mermaid' Ariel Before Shocking DWTS Elimination

Sasha Pieterse got to be a Disney princess for Disney night on Dancing with the Stars! Sasha Pieterse looked stunning as Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid. Sasha Pieterse and Gleb Savchenko danced a sexy and romantic Rumba to “Kiss The Girl” from The Little Mermaid by Samuel E. Wright on Dancing with the Stars Week 5. Unfortunately, the night ended badly for Sasha Pieterse. Sasha Pieterse and Gleb Savchenko were shockingly eliminated in week 5, despite her passionate fan base and solid dance performances.

The theme of week 5 was "Disney Through the Ages". Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse were special invited guests for the show. And everyone in the audience wore glowing Mickey Mouse hats.

Sasha Pieterse transformed into a Disney princess for her dance. Sasha Pieterse became Ariel and partner Gleb Savchenko was Prince Eric.


Watch Sasha Pieterse and her dancing pro partner Gleb Savchenko dance the Rumba to “Kiss The Girl” from The Little Mermaid for DWTS Week 5 in the video below. Sasha Pieterse looked gorgeous as a mermaid.


Sasha Pieterse's score: 24/30 

When it came to elimination time, surprisingly both Sasha Pieterse and Frankie Muniz were in jeopardy. That was shocking for both teams. Both Sasha Pieterse and Frankie Muniz have wowed the Dancing with the Stars judges with their past performances. Definitely didn't expect either of them to be up for elimination. Sasha has been in the middle of the pack. Last week, she earned 8s from all three DWTS judges.

Unfortunately for all the Pretty Little Liars fans out there, Sasha Pieterse was the  one sent home. It was a shocking elimination, particularly considering Sasha's large fan base. Sasha has performed well on DWTS, earning praise from the judges who knew Sasha was a great dancer. Last week, Sasha had a solid performance with her routine. How did she end up on the chopping block?! Never expected her to be the fourth elimination.

After it was announced that Sasha Pieterse would be the one going home this week, Sasha and Gleb hugged.

Despite the shocking and disappointing elimination, Sasha Pieterse remained gracious and thankful for the opportunity to compete on Dancing with the Stars.

"It was incredible and I knew that it was going to be amazing, but it totally blew my expectations away. I had such an incredible time and I love everybody here. So obviously this is a very sad moment for me," Sasha Pieterse said after the elimination. "But I'm just so thankful and I've had such an amazing experience and I'm grateful for the experience. I'm so happy I got to share my story and I love everybody, so thank you." Sasha Pieterse added to her fans, "Thank you for voting".

Sasha Pieterse also revealed that she lost 37 pounds on Dancing with the Stars. "It really is magical," she said.


Dancing with the Stars judges critiques of Sasha Pieterse's Rumba Routine:

All the judges were impressed with Sasha's mermaid-themed dance.

Bruno Tonioli (choreographer):
"The siren. The enchantress of the sea. And Sasha, you weren't bad either. I think you got the catch of the day," Bruno joked. "You were going for it. Nice motion. The shapes were very good. Hitting those beautiful shapes. Lovely, lovely placement. You were letting yourself go with it, which is what we like to say. Keep going that way."

Score: 8

Carrie Ann Inaba (choreographer and dance producer):
"It's so nice to see you this way. I can tell that that felt good on your body. Did it?"

When Sasha said that she enjoyed this week's dance, Carrie Ann said "I can see that. When you do that, your movements, they were sort of broader and they were oozier. I love the way your body interprets these dances. You've got so many beautiful angles and the lines you hit. And you know exactly when to create negative space and push it out. Mesmerized. Well done. I really liked it."

Score: 8

Len Goodman (professional dancer and dance teacher):
"I'm not being glib Gleb, but that was a well-crafted routine. I thought you had great chemistry together. There was a warmth going on between you. It was lovely. Well done! Good job."

Score: 8

Total Score: 24/30


So disappointed that Sasha Pieterse was the fourth elimination on Dancing with the Stars. She did a great job on the show and should have advanced further.
