Second Chances on Dancing with the Stars

Only in Week 3 of Season 7 of Dancing with the Stars and already there’s some drama. Misty May-Treanor had to leave the competition due to a serious Achilles injury needing surgery. She won’t be back to the show this year but may make a cameo or even return for next season. This also means that her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, is out. Even though Maks is gone for this year, he performed the jive choreographed for Misty with special guest Edyta Sliwinska.

With this unplanned exit, all dancers were safe this week, giving a second chance to Rocco DiSpirito who would have been eliminated under normal circumstances after receiving the lowest overall score. Rocco’s time is up, and he may very well be gone after this new opportunity though I can’t see how Cloris Leachman continues to move on. Like I said, watching Cloris dance is painfully entertaining.

Brooke Burke is starting to distance herself from the competition. Can you believe she got the first 10 score of the season and from Head Judge Len Goodman? Here’s their acclaimed Viennese Waltz.
