DWTS is a very dramatic show with a few funny moments here and there but the nasty spill Kirstie Alley and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy took on Monday night was no laughing matter. The celebrities had to pick a song with emotional meaning revealing their pasts through their dance routines and the show progressed without a hitch until Alley and Maks took to the stage to dance the rumba to “Over the rainbow” with Alley telling the story of her move to Los Angeles to become an actress and her mother’s death in a car accident when the pair fell – much to the shock of the audience. Maks’ leg apparently gave out and he tumbled to the floor taking Alley along with him and despite the fact that Maks was wincing and clearly in pain, the pair got back up and finished their routine. In spite of the falling hiccup, the twosome scored an impressive 21 out of 30 points and lots of praise from the judges for persisting after the fall.
