Dancing with the Stars returned for its fourth week of Season 21 last night with Kim Zolciak out and several other also-rans fighting to survive.

Who’s still in the hunt for the Mirror Ball?

Gary Busey taught us a lot of things this fall, chiefly that there is no end in sight to reality TV producers exploiting a mentally unstable man for ratings.

Sadly, that lesson will be his last for now.

The sometime actor and Anna Trebunskaya were eliminated Monday, depriving Dancing with the Stars fans of … well, Gary Busey on their screens.

Or is this the end? He’s not so certain …

"The fact that I’ve been eliminated is false," he declared emphatically at the end of the show. "You won’t see us dancing, but we’ll be there."

Kind of creepy, but we’ll run with it.

Busey and the rest of the cast members relived their most memorable year, which we know always makes for an emotional evening on the show.

Bindi Irwin stole the show, and recorded its first perfect 10 of the 21st season, with a tribute to her father, the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin.

Alek Skarlatos danced for his school, Umpqua Community College, after last week’s tragic Oregon shooting, and Andy Grammer danced for his mother.

Nick Carter took us back to the Backstreet Boys’ heyday, and Hayes Grier danced to Shawn Mendes’ "Stitches" … yeah. Dude is pretty darn young.

The full list of scores from Monday night …

  • Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough: 28/30
  • Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess: 27/30
  • Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy: 27/30
  • Hayes Grier and Emma Slater: 27/30
  • Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson: 25/30
  • Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold: 24/30
  • Andy Grammer and Allison Holker: 23/30
  • Alexa Vega and Mark Ballas: 21/30
  • Paula Deen and Louis Van Amstel: 18/30
  • Gary Busey and Anna Trebunskaya: 16/30

As you can see, Gary had the lowest score, and Paula Deen looks to be hot on his heels as the favorite for departure next week. But who knows.

Who will join these champions!? Discuss!
