Even Misty May-Treanor is human.

Fellow Dancing With the Stars contestant Brooke Burke has confirmed that May-Treanor will be sitting the rest of this year's competition for good, following an injury suffered during training.

"It's such a sad situation. She did hurt her Achilles tendon. I don't know if she tore it or ruptured it," Brooke said on L.A.'s 104.3 FM. "She's out of the competition. Just like that, it's over for her... She heard a pop, so it's really serious."

So, will anyone be eliminated this week in light of May-Treanor's absence? Burke said she had heard a few rumors:

"I heard [Edyta Sliwinska] and [Maksim Chmerkovskiy] may dance together since both of their partners are gone, but I don't know what's going to happen."

Guess we'll have to tune in tonight to find out.

Hoopz is batting 1.000 in her reality TV career.

The past Flavor of Love champion was crowned winner of I Love Money last night. She talked about the victory with VH1 afterwards:

Do you have a sense of elevated reality TV status, having won twice? No. Because if I were conceited and had a big head going into the show it would have played different. I was just going to try my best and never give up. I never really talked about the money. I was in denial when I did win. So I am completely grounded about it. $250,000 is a lot of money but there’s more out there. I’m saving it all.

Hoopz is $250,000 richer after her I Love Money triumph.

Do you have hard and fast plans with what you’re gonna do with the money? Most of it I’m going to save and make it make more money, try to start an accessory line and whatever. My mom has no idea that I won, so I’m gonna surprise her and my sister and use it to take care of them.

Explain your drama-free strategy. I just breezed through. And when I was scared, that’s when I messed up. The balcony-throw challenge was horrible. I was so terrified of the heights. But most physical challenges were easy. I didn’t have a strategy coming in. I don’t get involved in all that stuff. We were the realest people in the house. Real was who I chose to be close to. We bonded and clicked and became alliances and that was it.

At this point, Celebrity Apprentice really ought to change its name to D-List Celebrity Apprentice. Maybe even Q-List.

The latest supposed celeb to join Donald Trump's reality show is Claudia Jordan. Who is Claudia Jordan? Exactly, folks.

The model is best known for clutching briefcase number-one on Deal or No Deal. Prior to this stint, Jordan had the difficult task of pointing to items for sale on The Price Is Right.

Claudia Jordan joins a lame cast of Celebrity Apprentice, which includes Joan Rivers, Scott Hamilton, Dennis Rodman, Natalie Gulbis and Tom Green..

Susan Lucci is current residing in the world of Tony Dovolani, as this tandem attempts to win Dancing with the Stars.

But Dovolani recently spent a day on the set of Lucci's home, as he filmed a scene for an October 27 episode of All My Children.

In the episode, Erica Kane (Lucci) is injured in a deadly tornado that hits Pine Valley. She's trapped in a tunnel, rescued and taken to a local emergency room. Dovolani plays a fellow ER patient who suffered a broken leg in the tornado. Check him out:

Reality TV fans know Joshua Allen can bust a move. The guy did win this past season of So You Think You Can Dance.

But Allen told The Fresno Bee this week that his dream profession might be behind a microphone, as opposed to on the dance floor.

“Overall, I want to be a recording artist. I want to be singer,” Allen said. “I still want to push my dancing career. And I believe if you want to be a good dancer, you have to be well-rounded. You really have to know your stuff. At an audition, they might want a hip-hop dancer who can do pirouettes."

Jeff Probst is blogging about the current season of Survivor.

Each week, he'll share his thoughts with readers of Entertainment Weekly. Here's an excerpt from his most recent entry:

First we lost Michelle, then Gillian, and now Paloma. Whew. Relief. Three people who will not be missed. I say that with all due respect to the aforementioned, although, as my buddy Lopez reminds me, whenever you say “with all due respect” you’re actually saying without any respect at all.

Yes, I am aware that if I keep up this lippy attitude for the entire season that I may end up buried to my neck in sand at the live reunion show. The problem is I write these in the afternoon, typically when I’m most hungry and therefore a bit cranky. Not an excuse, just a fact.

Julianne Hough is as honest as she is gorgeous.

In response to Kim Kardashian being voted off Dancing with the Stars this week, Hough said:

"Kim was one of the weaker ones. I hate saying that, but it's true.... [she's] a real sweetheart. Everyone has their perceptions of people before they meet them, and I can tell you she’s such a good person. Obviously, though, people have to be voted off to keep the show going. That’s the name of the game."

As for the reactions of other stars to Kim's departure:Check out the wackiest Dancing With the Star outfits of all time!

Lance Bass said: "I am very sad to see her leave. We are friends outside the show, so I will get to see her anytime I want."

Brooke Burke said: "I would have liked to see her bust out and see more of her dancing. She didn't get the opportunity to do that."

Travis Stork failed to find love as the star of ABC's The Bachelor. He dumped winner Sarah Stone so fast it was like they were never even together.

Seriously. We think it was over by the time the finale of that season aired. He made Matt Grant's courtship with Shayne Lamas seem never-ending.

Well, maybe Stork had his sights set on another reality TV cutie.

If so, he gets props from us. And our intense hatred. Carrie Underwood is ours! All ours! Okay, we will now put our jealousy aside and move on.

Witnesses spotted Travis Stork backstage at a Carrie Underwood concert in Nashville. When asked if he was dating her, Travis smiled broadly.

Travis Stork? Really, Carrie? No offense, but you can do better. Anyway, we're happy for this crazy, unexpected, gorgeous reality TV couple.

It's all come down to this.

After months of back-stabbing and doggy-styling Megan Hauserman, Whiteboy, Real and Hoopz battle it out on this Sunday's I Love Money for a chance at $250,000.

Check out the following video preview of the season - and series, God willing - finale:
