dancing with the stars melissa

Eight weeks in and Dancing With the Stars is down to five...Wait, that can't be right!

Unfortunately, only five performed tonight because late-preseason addition Melissa Rycroft of Bachelor and now ballroom fame had to sit out Monday—which also featured the first team dance—after hurting herself during practice.

The show started off tonight with a rueful-looking Tony Dovolani making an entrance sans partner, and we later found out that Rycroft went to the hospital today after being bothered all week by what turned out to be a hairline rib fracture.

"I felt a blinding pain shoot down my side," Melissa said.

"She received treatment today for her ribs, and there were complications," a show rep told E! News. "She's resting, and we expect her back here tomorrow."

As they did with Steve-O early on, the judges based their disappointed-sounding critiques on Melissa and Tony's final taped rehearsal, which looked right out of Dirty Dancing—black pants and sleeveless undershirt for Tony, rolled up jeans and a black sports bra for Melissa as they ran through the motions of a jive that looked as if it would have been pretty awesome live, with all the fixin's.

Unfortunately, they only got a 21 for their dry-run-caliber efforts.

Here's how the rest of the group shaped up:

Gilles Marini: With the help of a cortisone shot to the shoulder, Gilles was able to toss Cheryl Burke over his shoulder with relative ease during their Lindy Hop, which was chock-full of traditional swingy steps—that the Frenchman pulled off most impressively. He seemed to spend a little too much time running around sans Cheryl, but apparently the judges didn't mind. "I made a list of the things that the French are famous for—French toast, french fries and French kissing," began Len Goodman. And from today, you can put Lindy Hop on that list."Score: 27. Still not back in that stellar place yet.
