Melissa: The Dance Will Go On

(Kelsey McNeal / ABC)
Melissa hurt? Not to worry...not to WORRY.
Unless you want to worry, in which case, worry.
But Mel has cracked a rib, and got hurt - I do believe that up until tonight she was the only one who hadn't actually broken something this season - but she'll go on.
Please go to the jump for the full story from "ET:"
Despite suffering a rib injury, Melissa Rycroft and her partner Tony Dovolani will continue in the competition on "Dancing with the Stars."
"I hurt my ribs last week doing a difficult move," Melissa said in an interview taped earlier on Wednesday. She said that during rehearsals, she re-hurt the rib, and, "felt a blinding pain."
At the doctor's office, Melissa was diagnosed with a probable hairline rib fracture, and despite having some treatment earlier in the day on Monday, the pain became too intense and she was not able to perform Monday night.
Instead, the judges based their evaluation of Melissa and Tony on a practice run-through they'd done earlier in the day. The judges all expressed dismay at having to base their score on what amounted to a trial run. Judge Len Goodman said, "Judging the rehearsal is kind of like judging a race car driver on a warm-up lap," and they scored the team a 21.
