Ross out of Dancing with the Stars
The first contestant to be eliminated from the US dance show 'Dancing with the Stars' is New York comedian Jeffrey Ross.
Eonline reports that Ross had to dash to hospital before Monday night's opening show when partner Edyta Sliwinska poked him in the eye.
He carried on with his performance but his cha cha cha failed to wow the judges and voting audience and his fate was sealed.
Afterwards he joked: "What a nightmare! They said Edyta was going to be easy on the eyes."
Yet again it was TV presenter Brooke Burke who was the judges' favourite, scoring 26, while singer Toni Braxton also impressed with her quickstep and scored 23.
Making less of an impression with judge Bruno Tonioli was actor Ted McGinley who was told "you grabbed your mambo with both hands and squeezed every ounce of fun out of it". Tonioli also advised realty TV star Kim Kardashian that she had "more wasted assets than Freddie and Fannie!"
Another couple will be eliminated tonight, leaving 11 to fight it out next week.
