'DWTS' Celebs Push Through Injuries in Week Three

Despite a handful of incidents which threatened to sideline a few of Dancing with the Stars' remaining contestants, all eleven celebrity couples managed to make it  to the ballroom floor where they celebrated the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood.

Most notably, viewers were nearly robbed of Bill Nye the Science Guy's fantastically wacky footwork due to a partially torn ligament in his knee suffered during last week's televised routine. Despite a grim prognosis from his doctor, the ever-inventive star found a creative solution around the impediment by incorporating robotic moves into his futuristic Jazz dance. While praised for an admirable attempt, the judges delved out the lowest scores of the night to Nye and his pro partner, Tyne Stecklein.

Additionally, a sprained a ligament threatened to sideline Pretty Little Liars star Brant Daugherty, creating a bit of a snag in practicing his fast-paced Quickstep. If that wasn't enough, the actor revealed during rehearsals that he was robbed at gunpoint earlier this week. Fortunately, Daugherty escaped the confrontation injury free, but the thief managed to make off with his dance shoes.

In the end, Christina Milian and Bill Nye were determined to be in jeopardy for week three, with the latter ultimately asked to take his leave from the competition.

Said a disappointed Nye, "What breaks my heart is Tyne not being able to stay in."
