Misty and max are out this week due to an injury, but are they out for the season? Read on…

Misty May-Treanor & Maksim Chmerkovskiy. On crutches, Misty came on stage to tell America about her injury. During rehearsals, Misty and her partner were putting the final touches on the Jive for this week’s show, when Misty, and everyone on stage, heard a pop and the pain followed. The popping sound was her Achilles tendon rupturing. Misty will be going into surgery tomorrow (Oct. 7). Misty and Mak are out for the season.
After tonight’s performances, who will be joining Misty and Maksim on the sidelines?

I missed this. To some time to watch Monday Night Football. But I think may have been wrong about Toni B. Brooke Burke is emerging as the one to watch out for. Warren Sapp, I fear may be the number 2. And poor Cloris! I adore her, but she can’t get above a 5. Damn it! LOL!
