Dancing with the Stars Gives Billy Ray Cyrus the Boot

On Monday night, Billy Ray Cyrus and Karina Smirnoff performed a mamba as well as a foxtrot, receiving a combined score of 38 out of 60 from Dancing with the Stars' three judges, the lowest score received by any of the couples during the broadcast.

Monday had been a difficult night for the country crooner who had butted heads with judge Bruno Tonioli. Tonioli had ruthlessly commented on Cyrus' not-so-fancy footwork saying, "You are always deliciously awful. It was the foxtrot on the Temple of Doom….It was terrible. It was crap.'’ Cyrus did not appreciate this lack of constructive criticism, "Bruno calling me crap is the pot calling the kettle black," he said.

On Tuesday night's results show, there was a gasp in the ballroom as showoff Joey Fatone's name was called out as the second dancer to stand beneath the "red light of shame," joining Billy Ray Cyrus in the bottom two. "We love you, Joey!" yelled one woman from the balcony, to which Fatone replied, "You love me, but you don't vote for me."

However, everyone knew the 45-year-old "Achy Breaky" star would be hanging up his dancing shoes as he had been marked for elimination for weeks, but like Jerry Springer in the season before him, everyone wanted to see what he would do next, so he stuck around. "He's full of charisma," says judge Carrie Ann Inaba. "But charisma can only take you so far. At this stage of the game, you have to have the technique to back up the goods."
