Karina Smirnoff Falls on Dancing with the Stars

People.com :    It was guilty pleasures night on Dancing with the Stars, but one competitor had little to smile about after taking the second tumble of the season. Three weeks ago, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley hit the ballroom floor.

This time perennial leaders Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff suffered the mishap when Smirnoff tripped over Macchio and fell during their paso doble to “Everybody Dance” by C + C Music Factory.

But they quickly recovered and ended the evening – dedicated to songs you feel guilty about loving – with a respectable 24 points, making them more than safe going into Tuesday’s eliminations.

“I’m proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself,” said judge Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli gushed, “Once you got back on it, there was no stopping you.”

Kendra Wilkinson, meanwhile, may have danced well enough to last at least another week, shimmying and shaking a samba with Louis Van Amstel to Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” garnering 25 to keep them out of last place (that is now occupied by Chris Jericho).

“Oh, my god, whoa,” gushed Carrie Ann Inaba. “That was a guilty pleasure, my dear. … You were in your element.”

But the night belonged to Romeo and pro partner Chelsie Hightower, whose waltz to the Titanic theme “My Heart Will Go On” ended with them spontaneously kissing each other on the lips (Hightower says it wasn’t part of the choreography.)
