Nov. 3 2009, Published 10:32 a.m. ET
Lacey Schwimmer, who is partnered with Iron Chef America hunk Mark Dacascos, missed Monday night’s Dancing With The Stars with a case of the flu, leaving gorgeous understudy Anna Trebunskaya to take her spot.
Unfortunately, the results were not kind, as the inexperienced couple danced their way to a lousy 19, leaving Dacascos vulnerable for Tuesday night’s results show; Schwimmer, who went home to rest, is expected back next week.
