He may have narrowly escaped elimation at last night's judging, but Cristián de la Fuente may be saying adios to Dancing with the Stars after all. TMZ is reporting that the recently-injured contestant may need surgery and is seeing a specialist today. The producers and other contestants of DWTS are anxiously awaiting word.

Not to kick someone when they're down but, based on his recent performances, doesn't seem like Cristián would have lasted very long anyways. Might as well go out like a hero, right, Cris?
