After being eliminated, “Who’s coming with me?” World Peace asked the crowd. “Everybody give a round of applause to Peta – she was awesome!” He added, “I had a great, great time.”

The 31 year-old Ron and his partner Peta Murgatroyd, and Elisabetta Canalis and partner Val Chmerkovskiy were the two couples at the bottom of the scoreboard after their dancing debut on Monday. Although after the public vote, Ron landed on the bottom two with the sassy Nancy Grace (watch video here).

Ron’s stiff dance moves did not impress people at home, and I’m glad we’ll have the chance of seeing Nancy dance once again. That woman has such a fierce attitude. Love it.
