Nikki Bella Eliminated From DWTS

Nikki Bella's time on Dancing With The Stars ended on Monday night when she was eliminated from the competition.

The WWE wrestler was one of thirteen celebrities who took part in the twenty-fifth edition of American's dance show.

Bovada had priced her up as a +1,200 shot to be the outright winner when the sportsbook opened its market ahead of the show's premiere in September.

There were no weekly price updates as the show progressed, so I didn't really bother to pay close attention to the results until finding out about the elimination yesterday morning when I listened to Wrestling Observer Radio.

I was able find out that it was a double elimination and Bella's ousting was a surprise as she had performed well in recent weeks.

Ironically, it seems that fan voting - or the lack of it - was her downfall on Monday night.

In the day's leading up to the show's launch, I read a number of articles that believed Bella had a strong chance to win due to how popular she and her fiancee - John Cena - with the demographic that would go out of its way to vote on these shows.

There are now six celebs left. Here's how Bovada had them priced up before the series commenced:

Lindsay Sterling +800
Jordan Fisher +900
Frankie Muniz +900
Victoria Arlen +1,000
Terrell Owens +1,000
Drew Scott +1,200

Dancing With The Stars betting was available from Bovada USA and Bodog Canada.
