Steve-O was finally booted from Dancing With the Stars last night, but the Jackass stuntman was gracious in defeat. He said: “I accomplished such a lot. I made a lot of mistakes, and I met a lot of challenges. The fans kept me around, so I learned a lot from the experience, and I’m super grateful because I really grew as a person.”

Steve-O praised partner Lacey Schwimmer for her patience and said, “She had to put up with me, especially when I tend to manstrate.” Co-hosts Samantha Harris and Tom Bergeron quickly pointed out to viewers watching live that it was a legitimate word today!

Steve-O, who is a Las Vegas nightclub regular, faced Ty Murray as the bottom two in the combined viewer voting and judges’ scoring in the sixth week of the ABC’s top-rated show. The highlight of the night, however, was sexy starlet Carmen Electra’s hot Pussycat Dolls burlesque routine on top of the judges’ table!

Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska, who also were near the bottom of the board, were declared safe, but now this means they could be among the three couples dealing with possible elimination next Monday. The former football star could go up against bronco bull rider Ty or our Las Vegas Academy pro Julianne Hough with country singer boyfriend Chuck Wicks, who were in the bottom three this week.

Vegas DeLuxe will be back next week to see which two couples face the exit door. For now, it’s looking as if Lil’ Kim with Las Vegas Academy pro partner Derek Hough, Sex and the City hunk Gilles Marini with Cheryl Burke, former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and Bachelor contestant Melissa Rycroft with Tony Dovolani and Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast Shawn Johnson with Mark Ballas will be the final four!
