On Monday night's episode of Dancing with the Stars, after Mario performed his Viennese waltz, judges crowned him "a new prince," (whatever that means), but judge Len Goodman also called his footwork "bloody ugly."

On Tuesday's elimination (and 100th) episode, viewers agreed with the "bloody ugly" comment and votes didn't keep him on the show.

Christian De la Fuente, who dropped partner Cheryl Burke last week when he ruptured a tendon in his biceps, earned top scores. Burke choreographed routines which included lifts to favor his good arm.
