Cheryl Burke Will Not Continue if Cristian de la Fuente Can't Return

Cheryl Burke is reportedly worried that her Dancing with the Stars partner Cristian de la Fuente may be voted off after suffering a sever muscle cramp during Monday night's live TV show performance. Cheryl told Usmagazine.com:

"He doesn’t deserve to be — he has been working hard. I mean, what can you do? If they want to give us a 3, it doesn’t matter — it's up to the voters. If he can't come back, then I will not continue. There is nothing I can do — he is my second half."

Cheryl also said that she thought everything was going well as they were performing thier second routine:
"until I fell back onto his arms, and I heard it crack or snap. I thought it was my dress. He is in a lot of pain. I think its more than a muscle cramp because he is not the type who would be giving up like that so easily."

Professional dancer Derek Hough, who threw a hissy fit backstage with his partner Shannon Elizabeth last week told Us that when he experienced his neck injury, Cristian:
"would tease me a lot ... he would always say, 'Oh, Derek sneezed — call an ambulance!' Now look what happened to him. I hope it’s a minor injury. I felt really bad for him. I thought the judges were pretty hard on him. Let’s just hope for a speedy recovery."

It sounds like Derek's a little bitter that Cristian hinted he should just grow up after hearing how he was criticizing the other competors last week, even though he added how he felt bad for him. I hope Cristian doesn't get voted off. I think the judges did what they could - they didn't see an entire performance and gave him a fair score. It's Shannon's time to go! The judges were a little too nice to her this week because they were probably worried she'd start crying again.

  • so glad that they allowed Cristian to continue. I liked his moves, salsa and all. He was in third place, not considering his injury.
