Woz Gets Hipchecked Off the Dance Floor: Big, Big Sigh…

Oh horror of horrors–Steve Wozniak got sent home last night on the ABC celebrity hoofer-fest, “Dancing with the Stars.” Whatever will BoomTown do without the peculiar gyrations of the Apple co-founder to praise effusively and mock relentlessly at the very same time? But with a truly terrible Tango and the lowest judges’ score (12 out of 30) of the remaining 11 contestants from his Monday night outing, Woz’s only chance was the voters at home. They let Woz down.

Woz-Tastic? Well, No–But Steve Lives to Dance Another Day!

Doing the quickstep and wearing taped nerd glasses to the tune of Buddy Holly’s “Oh, Boy,” Steve Wozniak’s dance stylings on “Dancing With the Stars” this week was more like “Oh, Brother!” Nonetheless, support of geeks world-wide and an infectious spirit kept the Apple co-founder in the running on the ABC television competition, besting former Go-Go Belinda Carlisle in dance-off elimination. Woz is dancing as badly as he can with a pink boa, Silicon Valley, so get out there and make your 13 votes count!
