'Dancing With The Stars' Results: NeNe Leakes Needs Your Votes

Atlanta-area resident NeNe Leakes needs viewer votes to remain on "Dancing With The Stars." Voting ends tonight.

Atlanta’s NeNe Leakes tackled the fast-paced jive Monday night to lackluster scores on the second episode of ABC’s ballroom reality competition “Dancing With The Stars.”

She earned a total score of 21 points out of 30, and was in the bottom three celebrity pairings, putting her dangerously close to elimination. If you want to keep the Atlanta Housewife in the show, you need to vote online before 8 tonight.

Online voting at www.ABC.com and on Facebook at https://apps.facebook.com/votedwts/ is open for 24 hours, beginning from the start of each episode on the East Coast at 8 p.m., ET. That gives Georgians until 8 tonight to do their part to keep Leakes dancing for another week.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta” series star took to the ballroom floor with professional partner Tony Dovolani. Their jive earned criticism from the judges about Leakes’ arm movements and footwork.
