After failing to impress with his opening night cha-cha, Metta World Peace's run on "Dancing With The Stars" is over almost as quickly as it began.

CBSSports.com's Ken Berger's tweet last night summed it up pretty well: "Butchering the cha cha, hitting on Brooke Burke, and looking overweight. Ron Artest did himself no favors." Can't imagine why he was voted off.

Artest scored a total of 14 points out of a possible 30 for his cha-cha, which was the lowest of the 12 contestants. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba called Artest's performance "eccentric, yet kind of sexy" but Len Goodman remarked Artest's dancing was just "shimmying about" and "all sizzle and no sausage." I don't even want to know what that means.
