Cameron Mathison Returns to Dancing with the Stars!

No, there hasn't been a recount.

But fans will get a chance to see this All My Children star on the show once more next week. We'll let Mathison himself explain the hectic schedule:

"My schedule slows down until Saturday, but then on Sunday morning, I have to catch a flight back to L.A. for the finale of Dancing with the Stars," he recently said. "I dance the Paso Doble again on Tuesday night so that's really cool. I just have to refresh my memory of that dance.

It was probably one of our best dances we did, so we want to make sure we nail it.... I wish I was still going. The schedule was tough but it was really energizing. I actually loved every second of it."

Dancing, Week Six

Cameron Mathison Voted Off Dancing with the Stars

The Last DanceIt was quite the run. But the votes finally were tallied for Cameron Mathison last night and the daytime hunk was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do with time off,” Mathison told host Tom Bergeron. “Not one single bit of me wants to go home.”

From their sound bites, it appeared as though his cast mates felt the same way.

Helio Castroneves, the last man standing in the competition for next week’s semifinals, said he “lost my wing man. Cameron is the Super C! He’s a really great guy and we’re going to miss him.”

Meanwhile, Melanie Brown referred to the All My Children star as “hilariously funny,” while Mathison's pro partner, Edyta Sliwinska, said: "I’ve loved every minute of dancing with Cameron. I’m truly proud of him. I never thought we were going to go so far.”

How does Cameron feel about the overall experience?

“Dancing in front of 20 million people on live television is one of the last things I thought I’d ever do a couple years ago,” Mathison told People magazine after the show. “I am proud that I could dive into something that I knew nothing about, something I am very uncomfortable doing and with perseverance and hard work, I can become comfortable and grow. I know it sounds corny, but I’m really proud of that.”

Cameron Mathison Struggles on Dancing with the Stars

Cameron Mathison really wanted to do well on Dancing with the Stars last night. You could feel it, as he promised: “This is my week to bring home a 10!”

It didn't work out quite so perfectly, however.

Dancing the Viennese waltz to “Hedwig’s Theme” from the Harry Potter movies, the All My Children stud and Edyta Sliwinska started out strong. But Len wasn’t wild about Cameron’s choice to bare his chest in a non-Latin routine and the three nines from judges were solid - but fell short of the soap opera hunk’s goal.

Results, Please...

Next up was the Cha-Cha. This is when it went downhill for the couple.

Mathison struggled in the finesse department, as Carrie Anne said: “You hit the lines and they’re beautiful. It’s all the in-between moves you need to work on.”

Len simply found it wooden and “dancing by numbers.”

When the set of eights were revealed, the disappointment showed on Cameron’s face. But he took some solace when the audience booed the judges and simply replied: "I thought I did alright.”

So did we. But he's gonna need your vote to remain in the competition.

Cameron Mathison Needs Your Help!

It wasn't the best night of dancing for Cameron Mathison; so now the All My Children star needs your help in order to last another week on Dancing with the Stars.

Go vote!

Cameron and Edyta's high-energy Quickstep seemed much more fast-paced than the other Quicksteps on the evening, which isn't really a good thing.

Carrie Ann asked if Cameron drank a Red Bull before the performance. She called the routine "wild" and "out of control." Len told the couple to calm down, while Bruno believed that Cameron forgot the steps during his rushed performance.

Score: 24 (8, 8, 8).

Dancing, Week Six

Later in the night, the couple's jive was much lighter and less intense in comparison. There were still plenty of fun elements, though. Cameron jumped over Edyta's shoulders at one point.

Len informed us that the Jive normally suits short, compact dancers, but that Cameron did a fantastic job. Bruno said that there were "more kicks than a rodeo" and loved Cameron's performance, too. Carrie Ann added that Cameron began the competition as the good-looking guy who could "kinda" move, but developed into a great dancer.

Score: 27 (9, 9, 9).

A Cameron Mathison Profile

People magazine recently profiled a few studs from this season of Dancing with the Stars.

Not surprisingly, Cameron Mathison made the list. Here's what the article had to say about him:

Status: Married to model Vanessa Arevalo, with whom he has two children, Lucas and Leila.
Profession: Actor, All My Children, partnered with Edyta Sliwinska.

A Cameron Mathison Picture

The Canadian already makes women swoon on daytime TV, and now he's proving he can hold his own with the primetime pros on Dancing with the Stars.

"I think I'm good under pressure with things that I'm familiar with," Mathison, who was diagnosed with Perthes disease (a degenerative condition that affects the hip joint) at a young age, told People. "I am not a dancer, but we've put a lot of work into it and I'm ready."

Walt Willey Speaks on Cameron Mathison, Dancing with the Stars

Soap Opera Digest caught up with Walt Willey after the performance of his All My Children co-star on Dancing with the Stars.

So, how did he think Cameron Mathison did after week six?

Q: What were your impressions of Cameron this week?
Walt Willey: I thought he was Captain John Smith on steroids. I told him the other day, "You are my hero. You are calming down and enjoying yourself." He's relaxed, and he looks great. I asked how much weight he's lost, and he said, "I've lost two pounds. I've driven all the water out of my body and made leaner muscle mass." He's pretty psyched about that.

Dancing, Week Six

Q: What did you think about the little headbands on his arms?
Willey: They were a little too Village People for me. But dancing with Disney Property was a really good idea. "Hey, you be Pocahontas!"

Q: What did you think of Cameron's boast at the end?
Willey: I think he is really sorry that he said "I'll take off my shirt if you vote me into the finals." I could see the regret fill his big wide eyes. I could see him thinking, "I can't believe I said I'll do this in a thong if I get to the finals because they'll make me do it. Why do I always do things like that?!"

Cameron Mathison Sambas His Way to a 25

It wasn't the best performance of the season by Cameron Mathison on last night's Dancing with the Stars. But that actually shows how far he's come now and how high expectations have been raised.

The All My Children star was initially scared by the samba, asking Edyta: "What are they doing down in Brazil?"

To assist, his partner took him out to get a taste of the flavor of Brazil. it worked fairly well, as Mathison began to catch on. He's definitely a talented dancer.

Doing the Samba

What did you think of this dance? Let us know on our All My Children forum

Len said it was good in parts, but he didn't capture the spirit of the samba. Bruno agreed, not really understanding some of the choreography. Carrie Ann once again disagreed, calling the performance very tribal, and very passionate.

Overall? The duo earned a 25.

Cameron did say if it helps him make the finals, he'll dance in a thong. In other words, fans: GO VOTE FOR HIM!

Thorsten Kaye Continues to Advise Cameron Mathison

Thorsten Kaye, once again, has talked to Soap Opera Digest about the chances his co-star, Cameron Mathison, has on Dancing with the Stars...

A Dancing Fool What did you think of this week’s competition?
Kaye: This week was hard for me because Cameron didn’t call me for help. He called Susan Lucci (who gave advice to Cameron on air Monday night). I don’t want to make this about myself because, obviously, it’s his moment. But what shouldn’t get lost among all the spandex and sequins is that in the end, what you have is your friendships.

That’s something that’s understood in the dance world and it’s not something that Cameron understands being a non-dancer. I could understand calling Susan from an actor’s point of view. But from a dancer’s point of view... you know who you call. It was a little upsetting to me.

How was Cameron’s dancing this week?
Kaye: Let me tell you something. I watched him and I wanted to skinny dip in his eyes. That’s what one of the girls said in an interview a couple of weeks ago. “I just want to skinny dip in his eyes!” I’d probably wear a bathing suit just for protection.

What advice have you given him for next week?
Kaye: I’m going to be honest with you: I think maybe he should call Lucci. I’m an angry little gnome. If you need to choose the big star from the show to work with, then do it. I’m hurt right now. Maybe I shouldn’t be giving this interview to you in anger, but that’s where I live right now.

What’s your prediction for Cameron in the long run?
Kaye: I think he may win this thing, and that would be awesome. I really think he’s doing a great job. It looks like he’s having fun.

We agree! This All My Children star has a serious chance at victory.

Cameron Mathison: Impressive Again on Dancing with the Stars

A Solid Score Cameron Mathison has gone from being a respectable contestant on Dancing with the Stars to one of the favorites.

He impressed viewers and judges against last night, with his Samba, earing 26 (out of a possible 30) points from the panel. Here's what they had to say about this All My Children hunk:

Bruno praised Cameron's hard work and improvement, telling parents to "lock up your daughters."

Carrie Ann thought the couple aced the chemistry aspect of the performance, while Len asked Cameron to button his shirt up. Someone is too sexy for reality TV!

Tune in to ABC tonight to make sure Mathison moves on to the next round. But we can save you the trouble: he's a lock.
