Cristian Will Likely Say Hasta Luego

Cristian de la FuentSpies at "Dancing with the Stars" tell TMZ Cristian de la Fuente suffered a really gnarly injury and will likely pull out of the competition.

The spies say surgery is now a real option. He's set to see a specialist this morning. We're told the producers and dancers will meet at the CBS lot -- where the show is taped -- at 10:00 AM for a status update.

Stay tuned.

16. DWTS is an ABC show but it is filmed on the CBS lot. By the way, I believe that Cristian didn't just have a muscle cramp but probably ruptured his distal biceps tendon.

17. very observant of you Scribbler, the show is on ABC and why meet on the CBS lot? Just the same, it is a sad way to go out of the competition.

18. It's filmed at the CBS Studioes, right next to American Idol, which is on Fox

19. Too bad, he was a good guy. He would have been gone soon anyway because the others are better dancers. Thank god we don't have to watch Cheryl's hair flip around while she dances anymore!

26. Some of thoses quirky injuries can be the worst! I hope he recovers soon. If he does have to pull out, no one will probably leave this week as it would throw them off schedule.

27. In my opinion he most likely brought this on his own due to vanity. Those planning to show off the guns(biceps/triceps) on stage before cameras will pump the weights to "get the look". I believe this was the second or third outfit that exposed his arms during a dance routine. Somehow, he may have really pushed the limit of reps and weight to get the muscles and veins to bulge out. I can assure you that many of the guys on past and present DWTS have done this prior to coming on stage. You don;t really see other guys exposing theirs arms, unless they have developed arms. Professional body builders experience these problems every so often when going overboard prior to going on stage. His actual dancing skills pretty much maxed out to this point.

28. I think Christian and Cheryl were well on their way to a 9 or a 10 when his injury occurred. It's been fun watching Christian improve week by week. Those two are magic when they dance! Christian, best wishes to you for a full recovery.

29. I love Derek, but Shannon has to go. The fact that she had to publicly apologize twice for her bad attitude and the comment she made to KABC-TV about "the judges already chose who they want to win." She needs to go. And what a cougar taking advantage of poor little Derek.

30. THIS IS JUST TO BAD!

it might just mean that Marissa can be around for another week! Time for that girl to get her vote off the show!
