“Already dealing with a fractured left foot bone, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak suffered a second injury at rehearsal on Friday: a pulled hamstring, sources tell E!,” Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna reports for E! Online.
“Host Tom Bergeron says that Steve is ‘determined to be there on Monday and dance.’ Another source tells E! that as of Saturday Steve is ‘still in the competition,” Borzillo-Vrenna reports. “‘There has to be some anxiety about the amount of injuries because all of a sudden it feels like we’re in an Ingmar Bergman film only with spray tans,’ jokes Tom. ‘We’re actually thinking of getting Pauley Perrette from NCIS to do a forensic sweep of the ballroom to see what’s going on. I might just ask her to do that.’
Borzillo-Vrenna reports, “Speaking of those spray tans, did you see how orange everyone is this season (word to Shawn Johnson!)? ‘Yeah, a few people have gone overboard,’ Tom quips. ‘We have people come in to spray them. But, there’s a little Oompa-Loompa going on this season. It’s not for me. I’m holding to the middle age pasty white guy look.'”
Borzillo-Vrenna reports, “So if Woz’s injuries take him out of the competition entirely, are we going to see a replacement for him? ‘No,’ says Tom. ‘The only thing it will impact is if there is one week we were going to have a double elimination and we wouldn’t do that. But we’d still eliminate someone. So if [he] can’t dance this week, we’re still going to knock somebody else out anyway because that’s the way we roll.'”
Borzillo-Vrenna reports, “It’s not looking good that Steve will make it until Monday. He was spotted Friday night at a CVS pharmacy in Los Angeles ‘limping pretty badly,’ according to a source. When a female fan offered Woz a ‘good luck’ on this Monday’s show, he replied that he might be ‘off’ by then and then limped away. ‘I hurt it today,’ Woz added.”
