Steve-O, how do you feel now that your run on 'Dancing' has come to an end?
Steve-O: I meant everything I said [on air]. This was an opportunity for growth. I overcame mistakes and obstacles. I didn't get loaded. I'm a winner.

Carrie Ann gave a nice compliment for your final dance, saying you were mesmerizing. How did it feel to hear that?
Steve-O: It felt great. After the routine was over, but before we went to the judges, I was already elated. It was the first time I got to say that my performance on live television was better than any of the rehearsals leading up to it. That was the best I could do. I was really grateful that there wasn't a dance-off tonight because I wouldn't have been able to do it better than I did last night.

Are you bummed out that you won't be able to pick out Lacey's outfit for next week?
Steve-O: You know what's so funny? I'm so full of myself and so self-centered that when it was time for me [to go into the costume department] and design Lacey's costume, I started to ask for a banana hammock for myself!
Lacey: Steve-O can still dress me if he wants to!

What did you learn about yourself by doing this show?
Steve-O: [Laughs] I'm no darn good at dancing! I went from being such a nervous wreck to loosening up. I felt I got better at relaxing.

Lacey, what are your plans for the future?
Lacey: I just booked a film called 'Leading Ladies,' which will film this summer. It's about dancing, but I get to do some acting, too. My character is a 20-year-old star dancer who gets pregnant. My brother is in the film, too. He plays my gay dance partner. I'm doing the USO tour this summer, which should be a lot of fun. I've never been to Japan before.

So sad... Steve-O was my favourite! By the way, have you seen this backstage video with all oops and censored scenes? It's very funny and very hot - so if you love "DWS" you'll like it for sure! It's here: http://zipmyurl.com/Dancing-With-the-Stars
The only reason Steve-O made it this far is because he has a huge following. It certainly isn't because he can dance. The judges kept him on because they knew it was good for ratings to do so. Personally, I think the show sux.
Steve-O had about as much dancing talent as a tree limb, and the personality of a slug. This guy is a drug addict with absolutely no morals.
i am glad he is gone. the next one to go is ty. he isn't getting any better. but jewel being his wife he maybe staying longer than we want him to. lawerence and chuck maybe in trouble also. if it wasn't for julianne being chuck's partner he would have been gone a long time ago. julianne is the best dancer on dancing with the stars. i can't wait to see the group dance next week and see what they dressed their dancers in. it is going to be fun to watch.
Is anyone besides me totally annoyed with Steve-O's partner Lacey Schwimmer? She just doesn't dance as a presenter of her star partner. Out with her, I say!
WOW! How about you guy's get a life and not be so pessamistic! The show is about fun and dancing.. so stop being so negative and just laugh a little
