Misty's Achilles' Heel Keeps Rocco Alive

(Oct. 8) -- Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito has Misty May-Treanor's torn Achilles' tendon to thank for his longevity on 'Dancing With the Stars.' The less-than-swiftfooted cook avoided elimination after the Olympic volleyball gold medalist had to drop out of the competition following her injury.
"I think Misty had the potential to get all the way through to the final," said judge Len Goodman.
The other celebrities remaining in the competition are model-actress Brooke Burke; former Oakland Raiders defensive lineman Warren Sapp; singers Lance Bass and Toni Braxton; Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene; actresses Cloris Leachman and Susan Lucci and actor Cody Linley.
f you had any suspicions that reports of the injury that pulled Misty May-Treanor from 'Dancing With the Stars' were exaggerated, you can lay them to rest. The beach volleyball star had surgery a day after her graceful exit to repair a torn Achilles tendon.
The injury occurred last Friday while May-Treanor was practicing a jive routine with 'DWTS' partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Her doctors say she can safely return to the volleyball court - and presumably the dance floor - after approximately nine months of rehabilitation. On Monday night's show, May-Treanor assured the audience, "I would come back to the ballroom if they asked me back."

Too bad for Misty. I think she had the potential to go far. I hope that she heals quickly. As for Cloris Leachman, it's time for her to go home. She was a very funny lady in her prime but is way past it now and is only making herself look foolish. I am embarassed for her when she is on the floor. God bless, Misty, get well soon, and for the rest, go get 'em! And if you don't like the show, change the channel!

I think that Misty was one of the better dancers. This year's dancers don't seem to have any ability to "step up" as past celebrities had. Cloris is a big joke that's becoming very stale. I think the only dancer that could and should be the winner is Brooke Burke. Please stop voting for Cloris!!

What truly amazes me is that this show even has a fan base. Damn, isn't there absolutely nothing else to watch on tv at that time?

At least they didn't ask Kim Kardashian back. The reality is is that this is a dancing show and while I think it's great that Cloris Leachman can still dance at her age, she is making a mockery of the show and should have been eliminated from the get go.

I really like Misty. She is a beautiful and talented athlete. I am curious to know if anyone else thinks that her partner had a more than obvious crush on her. If he did, I wouldn't blame him.

I hope she gets well soon. Some of the blogs are entertaining. Speaking about entertainment, have you heard of mamapalooza.com
