Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani

There was something awkward about Monday night ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ It did not feature Melissa Rycroft, who was forced to sit out this week due to her injury. Her absence was felt strongly, particularly after she had topped last week with a sexy Argentine tango.

Rycroft had to stay away from the ‘Dancing’ stage due to a hairline fracture on her rib which she suffered last week. The injury became worse with rigorous dance practice. As a result, she could not perform the jive with partner Tony Dovolani on the show last night. But, there is nothing to fear, as the reality tv star will be able to continue with the competition.

Judges scored Rycroft and Dovolani on their rehearsal footage of the jive taped earlier Monday. As the rehearsal was not up to the mark, the dancing pair was given only 21 points. The low score dropped them to the last place for the night. That was an unexpected setback for Rycroft.

‘Dancing With the Stars’ host Tom Bergeron says that Rycroft is talking with doctors, who have told her that the injury is a hairline fracture of one of her ribs. Melissa Rycroft is the second contestant of this season’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ who has been scored on a rehjearsal footage. Steve-O also had to sit out a performance earlier in the season because of
a back injury, and the judges had scored him on his rehearsal dance.
