Warning: Ginormous hot-pink bird on the loose!  Approach with caution, as this exotic creature may be dangerous...especially to your TV enjoyment.

Oh, wait, that's not a bird or a plane or even Superman, that's just Rocco DiSpirito, the chef extraordinaire and dance-floor eyesore whose sad little samba seemed to secure his place last night as the next contestant to be eliminated on Dancing With the Stars.

Do we all agree? And what are the official odds?

It's week three of our exclusive DWTS Prediction Smackdown, so keep reading for the latest from our Vegas oddsmaker and me, and your chance to make us both look as silly as Big Bird ...

Rocco DiSpirito: 2-1

Cody Linley: 10-1

Eckstein Says: "When Rocco decided to go with the ruffled shirt, we had a flashback to the famous Seinfeld episode, but that was funny. This was sad! Mama Rocco might be proud of her son's meatballs, but she should have been wearing that blindfold Rocco threw away in an earlier episode."

MY PREDICTION OF WHO'LL GO

It's got to be Rocco, right? After all, he would have gone home last week if not for Misty May-Traenor's injury. I mean, sure, he plays some mean percussion on Karina's abs (see: sarcasm), but this is a dancing show, my friend, and Rocco just doesn't have the sauce. Not to mention, Cloris seems to have a serious cult following and actually did pretty well this week. (Insert your angry rants below.)

P.S. They should probably just hand the win over to Brooke Burke now, don't you think?
