Testy judges and a comeback on 'Dancing'

The judges’ comments can be as entertaining as the ballroom moves on “Dancing With the Stars” and Monday’s show had plenty of zingers.

Bruno Tonioli usually has the most outrageous critiques and he didn’t disappoint last night, telling rapper Lil' Kim, who had just performed a romantic waltz with professional partner Derek Hough, “You tried to be a lady, but you’re more comfortable being a tramp.”

Meanwhile, rodeo star Ty Murray received good scores for his Argentine tango, but was blasted for his second dance of the night, the rumba. Judge Len Goodman summed it up this way: “First dance you’re a peacock, now you’re a feather duster.”

And actor Gilles Marini’s take on the rumba drew lots of applause from the audience, but judge Carrie Ann Inaba didn’t like his solo, calling it “self-indulgent” and “over the top.”

There were no zingers for “Bachelor” alumna Melissa Rycroft, who was a no-show last week due to a rib injury but staged an impressive comeback last night. She danced two routines, scoring a perfect 30 for her samba. “You 100 percent should be here next week,” Goodman said afterwards.

Who do you think will be booted off tonight?
