Playboy model Holly Madison and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak were booted from the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom Tuesday.

Wozniak, 58, consistently earned the lowest scores. Judges gave him and professional partner Karina Smirnoff 12 points out of a possible 30 for their Argentine tango, and the pair earned 10 points the week before for their samba.

"There is an improvement from last week," judge Len Goodman told the couple. "Last week was so terrible that almost anything that happened would have been an improvement."

Judge Bruno Tonioli told Wozniak his tango "really stunk."

The "Girls Next Door" reality show star forgot part of her Argentine tango and earned the night's third-lowest score, 16 points. "It was a bad start, and it kept getting worse," judge Tonioli said.

'Idol' Takes On iTunes

Three "American Idol" hopefuls won the most praise from the show's judges Tuesday.

The theme was the most popular 100 iTunes downloads, and getting the highest marks were Adam Lambert, 27, Kris Allen, 23, and Danny Gokey, 28.

Lambert rocked on Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music." Paula Abdul called him a "true genius."
Gokey gave judge Kara DioGuardi "goose bumps" with his soulful version of Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts the Most." Judge Simon Cowell called it his best performance yet. And Allen also had his best performance on Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine."

Blind singer Scott MacIntyre finally got high marks for a new look and taking on Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are."

Although 16-year-old Allison Iraheta appeared to nail No Doubt's "Don't Speak," three of the judges went off on her pink-and-black dress. DioGuardi, Cowell and Randy Jackson gave her costume thumbs down, but Abdul said her vocals will carry her to the finish.
