DiSpirito Gets Reprieve On 'Dancing With the Stars'

LOS ANGELES - Rocco DiSpirito will serve seconds on "Dancing with the Stars."
The celebrity chef came in last place this week on the ABC dancing competition, but he wasn't dismissed because injured contestant Misty May-Treanor dropped out of the competition Monday.
Co-host Tom Bergeron said DiSpirito was granted the "narrowest reprieve."
May-Treanor, the two-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist, had surgery Tuesday to repair her Achilles' tendon that was torn while rehearsing a jive routine Friday.
"I think Misty had the potential to get all the way through to the final," judge Len Goodman said.
The other celebrities remaining in the competition are former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman Warren Sapp; model-actress Brooke Burke; singers Lance Bass and Toni Braxton; Olympic track gold medalist Maurice Greene; and actors Cloris Leachman, Susan Lucci and actor Cody Linley.
It was also announced that this week's judges' scores will be added to next week's.
