Steve-O missed his second week's performance with a back injury suffered when he attempted a flip at the end of his dress rehearsal with partner Lacey Schwimmer and landed square on the dudes'battery pack he was wearing on his belt. Steve-O and side,Lacey were scored on their dress rehearsal performance and avoided the bottom two at the next night's results show. Sympathy votes, perhaps?
