Audrina Patrige Leaves DANCING WITH THE STARS

With the competition getting more intense every week, ABC's Dancing with the Stars held its first 'Rock Week' of the series, and the pressure proved too much to handle for reality star Audrina Patridge and partner Tony Dovolani. Kyle Massey and Jennifer Grey were also in the bottom three, but will get another chance to prove themselves at next week's 200th episode special.  Remaining competitors include:  Brandy, Kurt Warner, Bristol Palin, and Rick Fox.  Previously voted-off contestants include: Florence Henderson, Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, Margaret Cho, Michael Bolton, and David Hasselhoff.

Hosted by Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos") and Brooke Burke ("Dancing with the Stars" Season 7 Champion), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.
