Bill Nye Eliminated on Dancing With the Stars, Goes Out in Style

Bill Nye the Science Guy was given the boot on last night's Dancing With the Stars results show, but at least he went out in style with his final routine.

After ignoring doctors' orders to stay off his torn quadricep, the 57-year-old opted instead to dance a modified “jazz” routine to Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.”

It was ... awkward. And ridiculous, yet brave and sort of awesome.

Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein - Dancing with the Stars

Karina Smirnoff spoke of the “superb job” Bill's partner Tyne Stecklein did at constructing a story and dance around essentially a man with a peg leg.

It was pretty impressive, if you look at it from Tyne's end.

Despite Nye's best efforts at wooing the judges with his strange, hobbled sex-robot routine, the couple was the second to be voted off the show in Season 17.

Do you think Bill deserved to go home last night?

 

Yes. America (and the judges) got it right.No! Should've been Christina!No! Should've been Brant!
