The 'Karate Kid' star was officially kicked out of the 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 competition Tuesday night, ending a somewhat rocky road to the semifinals.

Unfortunately, even record-breaking numbers weren't enough to save James Durbin. The 22-year-old rocker was sent packing Thursday night, marking yet another surprise in an already surprise-heavy season.

'American Idol' is down to the final four!

Last night's elimination show started off quickly, with the remaining five contestants performing 'So Happy Together.'

After weeks of narrowly surviving the competition, 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 finally bid farewell to former Playmate-turned-reality star Kendra Wilkinson.

The elimination came just one day after Wilkinson and partner Louis van Amstel impressed the judges with their demanding Tango, though even that wasn't enough to keep them around for another week.

And then there were five.

Ryan Seacrest told us at the top of the show that we would be disappointed with the outcome of tonight's results - and he wasn't wrong: In somewhat of a shocker, Casey Abrams was eliminated from 'American Idol.'

Of course, the elimination wasn't totally surprising, as Casey was actually eliminated on a previous episode. (He was then saved by the judges.) Even so, it didn't feel like it was his time to go, especially after his crowd-pleasing performance on Wednesday. Then again, it's a talented group of six, so tonight's results were guaranteed to have at least some shock value.

For Chris Jericho, it's time to stop believing.

The pro-wrestler officially got the boot from 'Dancing With the Stars' Tuesday night, after his tango to 'Don't Stop Believin'' on Monday earned the lowest score of the night (22).

Jericho took the news pretty well, and even saved some room for a little humor, telling the audience he had to catch a plane to attend the Royal wedding.

J. Lo said it best when she said, "You gotta stop singing to stay; you gotta start singing to win."

It was a good piece of advice, but unfortunately for Paul McDonald, it came a little too late: Paul's quirky style and unique soft voice have been eliminated from 'American Idol,' according to PopCrush. There's a lot of talent on the show this year, so as the weeks go by, main contenders will have to be cast off the show. That's life on 'American Idol.'
