Debra's Journey
Only viewers that are aware with Friends, Better With You, or That 70's Show would know who Debra Jo Rupp was. When she was announced as a star, almost nobody knew who she was. Louis van Amstel (Debra's partner) admits that he was disappointed by the fact that no one knew her; he would try his best with her, anyways.
In Week 1, Debra and Louis danced a Quickstep to "Leave It All To Me" by Miranda Cosgrove. The judges criticized it, with Judge Carrie Ann Inaba calling it sweet and energetic. The judges awarded it with a 21 out of 40 for the night, landing them in eighth place for the night. Debra and Louis found themselves in the bottom-two for the first week, with Anna Kournikova being eliminated instead.
In Week 2, Debra and Louis danced a Jive to "It Takes Two" by Marvin Gaye. The judges were mostly mixed about the dance, with Judge Carrie Ann Inaba saying it wasn't good in technique. They were given 23 points for the night, landing them in a tie for thirteenth place with Danny Trejo. Sadly, her energy was not enough to keep her in the competition. Later that week, she was eliminated, alongside Mark Henry.
