ABC/ADAM LARKEY"I was weeping—crying weeping!"
So said one of tonight's noneliminated Dancing With the Stars contestants backstage immediately after the show.
But that wasn't the only crazy sauce stuff happening behind the scenes! Find out what the first eliminee is up to next, who's heading to Alaska (for good?) and which remaining dancers are sad to see [Spoiler Alert!] head home...
Margaret Cho was the teary mess referred to up top, but luckily those were tears of joy after hearing David Hasselhoff's name called as this week's ousted star.
"I'm so relieved," she sighed backstage. "I care about this so much, and I want to take it all the way."
Still, The Hoff will be missed by many.
Lamented Cho: "It's really sad. I love his body, I love the way he moves. He's a really elegant figure." We agree with, um, 33 percent of that statement, but it's still sweet.
Over in The Situationville, Mike Sorrentino revealed a secret bromance that had been brewing behind the scenes—one we're now extremely bummed to have missed out on.
"We love The Hoff," The Situation said with partner Karina Smirnoff nodding by his side. "Me and him were mad cool. We'll have to send him a beach towel or something." Karina then joked about a little dance that happened between the studly guys early in the night, laughing that The Sitch was actually the girl in the mix! Cut to us keeled over laughing.
But cry not for the Hoffster, because he really truly is A-OK with the whole thing.
"The sad part about it is that after three weeks Kym [Johnson] and I are good friends," he told us. "But in the end when it got down to the four of us I thought, I don't want to see these guys go! I'm very happy. I'm sad for Kym, but tomorrow I've got to go to Laughlin and do my show there."
"I'm going to miss him screaming in the hallways and at rehearsals and stuff," surprisingly good dancer Bristol Palin laughed about her elder counterpart. But the only thing she and partner Mark Ballas are worried about this week is heading home...to Alaska, you know?
Said an excited Mark: "We're flying to Alaska tomorrow, and I'm going to go look for some bears, and quickstep around Alaskan territory."
And really, isn't that what we'd all do if we made it up to the big A?
