"Dancing with the Stars" celebrated its 100th episode on Tuesday night, but the show wasn't all fun and games, as contestant MARIO got the bad news that he'd been voted out of the competition.
The R&B star and partner KARINA SMIRNOFF took the news well, with Mario saying, "I've had a great time performing on this show, I have a great partner."
He also addressed judge LEN GOODMAN: "Len, thank you for all of your comments. Ultimately you've helped me become a better ballroom dancer."
And in terms of fans telling him he inspired them, he said, "The real brave ones are the young men and women fighting for our country overseas."
No bottom two were announced, so it's anyone's guess who will have the edge as JASON TAYLOR, CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE, KRISTI YAMAGUCHI and MARISSA JARET WINOKUR and their partners head into next week's semi-finals.
The 100th episode festivities included an hour-long special that counted down the judges' fave dances of the first five seasons (season three's MARIO LOPEZ and his then-partner Karina took No. 1 for their sultry tango), an in-studio performance by season four winners APOLO ANTON OHNO and JULIANNE HOUGH, and performances by country crooners RASCAL FLATTS. Former contestants JERRY SPRINGER, VIVICA A. FOX, SABRINA BRYAN, JOEY FATONE and more were in house for the big night.
