Dancing With the Injured

Steve-O was forced to sit out of Monday's Dancing With the Stars due to a back injury.

During dress rehearsal two hours before the show aired, he landed on his mic pack, host Tom Bergeron announced on the show.

He went to the hospital as a precaution and "hopes to be back next week," Bergeron added.

The judges ended up basing their scores on his dress rehearsal performance of the salsa -- and they weren't sympathetic.

Bruno Tonioli, "He has an appealing streak of madness." They earned a 14 out of 30.

The judges take no sympathy out on anyone. When Marie Osmond fainted the other year, the judges acted like it was a part of her routine.

It is fair, afterall. I also don't think the judges recognize or care about contestants like Steve-O or Kim Kardassian. This is one show where you either go big or you go home! I like that it's not all left up to the public like American Idol has done for so many seasons. The public just doesn't vote properly sometimes. May the best dancer Shawn Johnson or Lil Kim win!
