I never read them! I usually don't even click on the stories and just read the main page. Were people awful? I can't stand un-moderated boards. Anyway further down on the main page they said that rumor has it that he's not coming back, and may need surgery.

I just rewatched that dance and when he was unable to hold onto Cheryl at the end, his left arm literally swung back and forth. I'm betting he fractured his elbow. It doesn't necessarily take a fall on it to fracture, and he was doing some pretty involved arm movements earlier in the dance. Could have fractured it during an extreme rotation of it. Just my guess. He certainly looked like he was in agony. It will be sad for him to have to leave like this... ETA: My other guess is a tear in his bicep tendon. Sorry, it's the curse of being a PT, trying to figure out what he did to it.

On Extra on TV this afternoon, they said he will be at the show tonight, but don't know if (doubt?) he'll be able to complete the season. Extra

That's really sad. Maybe they'll let him try again next year. If his wife will let him...

It looks like a lot of varied opinions this season. I always appreciate Len's comments about the hip hop nonsense being snuck into the dances. They can go do that on So You Think You Can Dance. This is a ballroom competition, and I love that Len serves as the watchdog to keep them from dumbing down this dance form. He's the only one of the three judges who really knows about ballroom dance, so of course the other two pop music choreographers will disagree with him. It's not like the dancers haven't been warned umpteen times. How many times do these pro dancers have to be told no lifts and no hip-hop before it sinks in? I've always felt Cristian was underscored, and I hope he's well enough to continue. Shannon's shuffling tango was not as good as Marissa's in my opinion, and Derek doesn't seem to know how to choreograph a good mambo. This is the second year he's put together a routine that looked more like a watered-down 50's version of a mambo than a real mambo. Too cheerleader-ish. Meanwhile Mario is fantastic and keeps getting lower scores than he deserves.

If Len had just been an old poop about Kristi's cha cha and scored that low, fine, but then he scored several other performances much higher that didn't deserve it, no matter what Kristi did. That article that Ladytex posted was really interesting.. about Marissa's scores when her choreography was less difficult yet earned high marks.

Not really, Costa. It looks like his arm is in some type of bracing/wrapping under his sleeve though. Can I just say how awesome DefLeppard still is??!! That Paso to Pour Some Sugar on Me was hot. The other pros just now seemed like they hadn't rehearsed... he nearly dropped her and they struggled a few times.

that seems kind of odd, that they wouldn't mention anything about his elbow or arm. i just got home from my daughter's band concert, so i missed the first half of the show. i do wonder what happened. i hope they're not playing this so that people will watch the whole thing.

It may be that Cristian doesn't want it known yet. Maybe HE doesn't know whether he will continue or how bad it really is.

Okay, so now there are the 4 couples. Don't you think that if he wasn't able to continue they would have let us know by now? grrrrr

Tom just said something happened just before the show. Anyone have a clue what that might mean?

Ok he got an mri and the docs say he needs surgery to put the tendons back together. The doc can delay the surgery though if he's still in the comp.

Surgery required, but he wants to stay and surgeon has said he would delay it if needed. Cristian wants to continue, and will if he isn't eliminated. Which he hasn't been. Cristian is safe. Marissa bottom two.
