Chad Ochocinco Gets Kicked Off 'Dancing with the Stars'

First we lost Niecy Nash. Now Chad Ochocinco has been kicked off 'Dancing With the Stars.' Still, the entertaining NFL star with the large personality and sartorial splendor very graciously thanked the staff for the opportunity, saying that he learned a lot in an environment in which he felt like "a fish out of water."

But maybe his loss is also his gain. During his time on the show, rumors swirled that he and his dancing partner, Cheryl Burke, clicked more than their heels together. Both have neither denied or confirmed the rumors.

Ochocinco and Burke were coy about their relationship throughout the season. Fans speculated that the two might be more than friends when the football star bought the professional dancer a flashy diamond ring one week and a delicate diamond pendant the next.

They continued their coyness Tuesday. Burke characterized their relationship as a "special friendship that will always mean the world to me." Ochocinco said that what the couple built during dance practice will "continue for a lifetime," while Burke called her partner "the most amazing, soft, gentle man in the world."

He and Burke were ousted from the hit ABC show yesterday, making them the 100th couple banished from the ballroom during the show's 10 seasons.

Ochocinco came into Tuesday's results show in last place, with 52 points out of 60 for his two dances. Judges' scores are combined with viewer votes to determine which couple is eliminated each week.

Do you think Ochocinco lost the dance contest but gained a new "partner"?
