Wanya Morris eliminated from Dancing with the Stars

Boyz II Men star Wanya Morris had a bittersweet night after he earned two perfect scores on Dancing With the Stars, only to be eliminated from the competition
The Motownphilly singer had been one of the favourites to with the U.S. ballroom dancing competition since the season began earlier this year (16), and he proved his talent during Monday night’s (16May16) semi-finals with two impressive routines.
First up, he and professional partner Lindsay Arnold teamed up for a trio with dancer Witney Carson for a fiery Paso doble, which earned them a perfect score of 30. He and Lindsay later followed that with a high-energy Charleston, and also scored three 10s from the judges.
Despite the fact he was the only contestant to score two perfect 30s on Monday, he and Lindsay were shockingly eliminated at the end of the episode. American football star Antonio Brown and his partner Sharna Burgess were also cut from the competition.
Although he missed out on winning the coveted mirrorball trophy, the R&B star did manage to reap the benefits of the Dancing with the Stars diet – after the first two weeks of competition, the chubby star shed 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms), and continued to lose weight in the following weeks.
Wanya previously told People magazine he didn’t sign up for the contest with a weight loss goal in mind, but he just wants to “look like a dancer”.
“It doesn’t matter how much weight (I lose), it just matters that I look the part,” he said.
The three celebrity contestants competing in the season finale are deaf model Nyle DiMarco, MMA fighter Paige VanZant, and TV meteorologist Ginger Zee.
