Maurice Greene Out at 8

On the 8th week of Dancing with the Stars, Olympic sprinter Maurice Greene was eliminated after repeated scores of 8. I think someone didn’t explain the rules of the competition very well to Maurice. Maurice, unlike track meets, it’s better to get the high numbers for your performances. It’s not like running 60 meters in a mere 6.39 seconds.

With Maurice’s departure goes former DWTS champion Cheryl Burke who’s been fighting controversy over her weight gain. Cheryl, you look just fine!

One of my favorites for Week 8 is Warren Sapp’s Spy Hunter-ish tango. Once I heard the music, I had a feeling the dance would be good.

My next favorite is Cody Linley’s foxtrot, well the intro segment to his foxtrot with Edyta. You see, Cody was bummed being in the bottom two in Week 7, so his teenage friends came by the studio to cheer him up… and bask in the radiance of his new temporary partner. Around the 48 second mark, watch his friends ogle Edyta then all volunteer to cop a feel dance with Edyta.

Only four couples remain – a Super Bowl champion, a teeny bopper, a gay pop star, and a TV host/model. Who’ll bring home the mirrorball trophy?
