"Dancing With the Stars": Controversy Averted

If you missed last night’s “Dancing With the Stars” results show, we almost got our first bit of controversy…

After falling during her routine, Heather Mills ended up in the bottom two along with Clyde Drexler.

Heather had been getting extremely high scores from the judges, which I think had helped her stave off elimination since she’s not all that popular with the public (There’s that whole gold digger reputation she’s got.). But when they were forced to dock her points for the fall, that made her vulnerable.

But going home after a fall caused solely by her prosthetic leg? Controversy with a capital C, my friends…

But instead, it was Clyde who finally went home. And it was fairly obvious that Clyde wanted to go. When Heather reached over to hold his hand as they waited for the announcement, he seemed to almost blow her off like he didn’t care what happened. I think the announcement was a relief for him.

Someone who was not relieved was Billy Ray Cyrus. He almost seemed upset when it was announced that they were safe. I wonder, though, if that may have been because he thought he deserved to be in the bottom two more than Heather.

Either way, Billy Ray lives to dance again and next week he’ll have to learn two dances as the stars will perform with their partners and with the other stars in a swing dance. It should be interesting.

However, because of the return of Manic Monday, I will only be able to watch until 8:58, so I’ll need to rely on all of you to fill me in on that last half hour…
