Dancing with the Stars resumes its elimination rounds tonight (Monday) when hometown singer Toni Braxton and regular Vegas visitor Lance Bass dance-off for the judges. Last week Olympic gold medal beach volleyball star Misty May-Trainor had to quit the series because of a ruptured Achilles tendon, so the other contestants were safe to dance for one more week. Birthday girl Toni and Lance, now nicknamed The Bassmaster, will compete against celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito and veteran 82-year-old actress Cloris Leachman. They are the bottom four going into tonight’s fourth round of the ABC show. Rocco and dance partner Karina Smirnoff are fighting most to stay alive after being told last week they would have been axed if Misty hadn’t been told by doctors not to dance. Votes from both judges and viewers from last week will be added to this week’s numbers. After the judges scoring tonight, the viewers vote tomorrow for the KO result. Toni will dance with partner Alec Mazo, in his fourth season, and Lance will trip the light-fantastic with 2007 World Swing Dance winner Lacey Schwimmer in her series debut.
