Penn Jillette and Monica Seles made the obligatory losers appearance on Jimmy Kimmel after the elimination Tuesday night. Penn immediately stole the show by explaining to Jimmy that his name is now a verb. Apparently when the celebs do a move poorly in practice or lose their posture the professionals tell them, “if you do that you’re going to Kimmel” Very funny! Penn then proceeded to break a glass table, obviously a staged move which he later admitted. He also said that when he fell after Monday nights performance it was also planned. However, he said breaking the dancing bar in the rehearsal hall was real and that Kym Johnson laughed for a full two minutes before asking him if he was OK.

Kimmel asked Monica who she thought should have been voted off instead of her, Penn answered for her saying him twice. Monica then went on to say that she was at a disadvantage because she had no dancing or acting experience and that the show was about being a dancer and an actor….yeah, um Ms. Seles last year’s dancer was a race car driver and the year before that was a speed skater!!!

Jimmy told Penn that he thought his stage experience was his biggest advantage. Penn replied that you can’t ask a loser what your advantage was, so Jimmy said ok then besides your personality what was your biggest disadvantage!!! HA!! I am beginning to like Jimmy Kimmel. Penn admitted that he did not think Teller gave a $^%@! about the show. Jimmy asked Monica if she blamed her friends for not rallying around her and voting for her, then he moved on to blaming Jonathan.

Monica did admit that the reason she was in Japan during rehearsals was to film a Japanese television show that she has there about health and fitness. Can you imagine how boring that program is!!!? Ms. Seles actually gained weight during DWTS which, must be a first, she said compared to tennis and running it is not much of a workout, wow.

When asked if he actually thought he could win the whole thing Penn admitted that he did try as hard as he could. But, unlike some of the other competitors he is not a perfectionist he is half assed!! So maybe DWTS is not for the half assed. To end they show they did a dancing shoe burning ceremony, which was kind of dumb.
