EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Natalie Coughlin Blames "Crappy Scores" For Dancing With The Stars Elimination
Posted on Oct 21, 2009 @ 07:43AM
Natalie Coughlin swims better than she dances. The Olympian, eliminated from Tuesday's episode of Dancing with the Stars, told RadarOnline.com that a lack of love from the judges hastened her exit from the program.
Coughlin, a two-time Gold medalist for swimming, was partnered with Alec Mazo; she received 22 out of 30 possible points for her Paso Doble dance Monday.

"They gave us crappy scores, so what did they expect?" a dejected Coughlin, 27, told RadarOnline.com's Tina Malave. "This has been my life for the past two weeks ... I'm not ready to go home yet."
Mazo was equally upset over the premature elimination, echoing identical sentiments.

Wow, jh I didn't see that! I know swimmers that have been to a camp where she was talking and the reports from them weren't flattering.

These 2 had absolutely NO chemistry and it appeared they didn't even LIKE each other, that's why they were kicked off.....I swear I saw her push his hand away from her back when they were walking backstage the other night......

I liked watching Natalie dance. Very easy on the eyes-It's AARON that needs to go!!!!!!! cannot watch him he seems so full of himself. I do like Karina though, she just got partnered with a weirdo..

Want a little cheese with that whine? You EARN the scores, and you got what you deserved..crappy performance=crappy scores. Carter needs to go too. Your attitude says a lot about you and it's not very becoming!

I'm also sad that Natalie is off. There are worse dancers than Natalie still on the show and so it isn't a dance contest but a popularity contest. Too bad.

So sad to see Natalie go..........She was one of the best.
It is Mya who needs to go home. Her presence pulls the show down.
