DWTS Recap: Maks and Kirstie Alley Fall (PHOTOS, VIDEO) | Bitten and Bound

Kirstie Alley's partner is not able to support her weight in a "dip"

And it hurt a lot. Watch his face just after it happened. Somewhere, George Lopez is smiling.

But Kirstie's dancing partner has to be smiling even more broadly than Lopez. He had Kirstie Alley fall on him - and lived to tell the tale.

Kirstie's performance, actually kinda good after the tumble, reminds me of a baseball story. Per the legend, Ty Cobb was once asked if he had anything good to say about the despised upstart newcomer Babe Ruth, who had his first big offensive year in 1920, Cobb's 16th major league season. The crusty old veteran said something like, "He runs pretty good for a fat man."
