Lake tops, Bono flops on 2nd week of ‘Dancing’
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ricki Lake celebrated her top-scoring 23 points and 12 inches of weight loss; Rob Kardashian celebrated being a better dancer than his sister Kim; and Chaz Bono celebrated just getting through his routine on “Dancing With the Stars.”
“My knees just hurt so much,” Bono said before landing in last place Monday night. The author and activist is counting on viewer votes to carry him through Tuesday’s episode, when a second celebrity will be eliminated from the hit ABC show.
Judges’ scores are combined with viewer votes to determine who is ousted each week. Basketball star Ron Artest, now known as Metta World Peace, was the first contestant to go.
Judges said Monday that Bono’s quickstep was just too slow and gave him 17 points out of 30.
“The bottom line is it’s a quickstep and I’ve moved faster through the car wash,” judge Len Goodman said.
Nancy Grace was perhaps moving a little too fast. She suffered a wardrobe malfunction during a bouncy number danced to “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing”). Grace had a little too much swing in partner Tristan MacManus’ arms and her breast spilled out of her dress.
