'Dancing' Backstage Report: Steve W. and Holly Eliminated

Apparently the Argentine Tango is what separates the men from the boys ... and the Playboy bunnies and the billionaires.

In this week's double elimination, Steve-O managed to survive to dance another day. Sadly, that meant goodbye to the other Steve, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who had the lowest scores by far again this week. Ex-'Girls Next Door' star Holly Madison also danced her last tango and said goodbye.

Check out our exclusive backstage report, including exit interviews with Steve and Holly and behind-the-scenes scoop from all the stars.


DWTS' Report: Holly & Steve W. Eliminated

    They say it takes two to tango, but 'Dancing With the Stars' lost two of their celebs to the dance this week.

    After receiving the lowest scores two weeks in a row, this was the final performance for Apple co-founder (and cast favorite) Steve Wozniak, and he was joined in the losers' circle by former 'Girls Next Door' Playmate Holly Madison.

    Steve, what did you think of your performance on Monday? Len actually gave some good comments ...

    Steve: I thought the judges' comments were pretty much what they've been -- very generalized and they can't respect [what I did] as dance. I talked to other people who've run dance studios who gave [much better feedback]. I think our scores have been much lower than they should be.

    Karina: I'd like to see the judges give comments based on each couple's ability, as opposed to coming up with funny comments for people at home. They can be funny and entertaining, but just not be mean.

    Karina, how do you feel about you and Steve being voted off?

    Karina: It's okay. The judges definitely prepared us for this week after week. I don't even know that I wanted to be here next week [not because of Steve, but] because I didn't want to hear what they were going to say! [Laughs] If I could mute them -- maybe it wouldn't be so bad?

    What did you think of the "double elimination" concept?

    Karina: I think it sucks. I completely disagree. If they're going to have it, I would prefer they have it later in the season by week 7 or 8.

    Steve: They're killing two birds with one stone.

    Karina: I just didn't want to be the bird!

    Can you sum up your experience of working with Steve?

    Karina: It was the best ever. Once you meet Steve, you want him in your life. He doesn't live in Los Angeles, so we'll probably talk more on the phone. He's charming and sweet. If he explains something that you don't understand, he'll go back over it [until you do]. He's kept an innocence about him that is so disarming. I love it.

    When you heard Tom Bergeron announce "Steve ..." did you think maybe it was Steve-O that was leaving?

    Karina: No. I didn't think it was Steve-O. I expected it to be us. This is season eight. You can get a feeling for where it's going and when you'll be leaving.

    What are your plans for the future?

    Karina: I'm coming back for a results show and Maks and I will dance to Etta James' 'At Last.' I'm super excited about that.

    Holly, what will you take away from your experience?

    Holly: I had always wanted to do this show. The cast has been so amazing. I'm so glad to have met them. I love everything about it -- the dancing, what I've learned about myself and the costumes!

    What's next for you?

    A lot of celebrities have "producer" titles in name only. Are you going to be active in the production?

    Holly: Absolutely! I was on 'Girls Next Door' for five seasons. I'm really excited to do something on my own now.
