Woz to DWTS Judges: "I'm Still Standing" (And Still Dancing as Bad as He Can!)

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak revved his damn-the-judges juggernaut into high gear this week with yet another low-scoring performance on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” and a full-bore mangle of the Argentine tango last night. Interestingly, as the trio of judges dinged him for the fourth week in a row, they also tried to compliment Wozniak at the same time, telling him they loved his spirit. Oh, these judges know that a Silicon Valley mob riding Segways could run them down at any minute if they got too mean. “The judges have forsaken me,” said Woz, sounding more and more like a very appealing nerd cult leader. “But the geeks shall inherit the earth.”

Sam-bad: Woz Gets a 10 Out of 30 on "DWTS"

At least Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak can pun through the pain of his foot fracture and pulled hamstring. “Hey, well, one thing I learned is that if you mix a little dancing with a little Smirnoff, you might end up in an ambulance,” he joked, riffing on the name of his partner, Karina Smirnoff. What he can’t do, of course, is dance very well, which was why he got the low, low score of 10 out of 30 last night from the judges on his third week of “Dancing with the Stars.” Oh, it was a bad samba. A very bad samba. But who cares? Vote for your right to Sam-bad!
