They’ve been voted off Dancing with the Stars. But might we not have seen the last of Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth on reality TV?

TV Guide reports that the rumored couple is in talks with the production company that Melanie Brown runs with her husband, Stephen Belafonte.

The proposed reality series would explore the recently ousted pair’s career moves, including Elizabeth’s acting efforts and Derek’s passion for music. It would also highlight their new-found “showmance.”

So, you tell us: would you watch? Or would a Shannon/Derek reality series be - sorry for this - a quickstep to regret?

Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were voted off Dancing with the Stars last night.

But fans that wanna see this rumored couple interact can check out the clip below, as Jimmy Kimmel grills the pair on their relationship:

There was twice the good news on Dancing with the Stars last night for fans of Cristian de la Fuente:

1. His injured arm is okay;
2. He’s still very much alive in the competition.

In a modest surprise, Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were voted off the show this week. This might not be the worst news in the world for the tandem, though:

They are rumored to be dating. So more time alone can only be a good thing.

Derek and Shannon were joined in the bottom two by Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolan. Said Elizabeth on being eliminated:

“I’ve made a friend for life.”

Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth are still alive this season on Dancing with the Stars.

But the state of this tandem on TV is not what has fellow contestants buzzing. Instead, they’re reacting to recent photos that show the pair kissing.

“They might have been auditioning for a new romantic comedy, like Friends with Benefits,” Karina Smirnoff joked about the make out session.“They’re both hot, young single people, so why not?”

Smirnoff, of course, is dating the man with whom she partnered on the series two years ago, Mario Lopez; although each has insisted that romance blossomed after their run on the show was over.

Cristian de la Fuente also doesn’t see a problem with the romantic pairing: “When you spend a lot of time with somebody and you have a good relationship, you want to extend that working relationship to the house.”

Lastly, let’s hear from Mark Ballas, Hough’s roommate and bandmate:

“He’s single. She’s single. Whatever. I think what’s great about their relationship is they’re really good friends and they get along really well. They have great chemistry.”

That sums it up to us.

Following their tirade against the judges Monday night - despite receiving a flurry of 8’s - Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were the subject of harsh words from others associated with Dancing with the Stars last night.

“I think it was a little bit in bad form,” Len Goodman said of Hough’s reaction. “I learned long ago, ‘Never knock the competition,’ but in his defense, he’s young, and we all say things in the heat of the moment.”

Regarding Elizabeth’s flood of tears, Bruno Tonioli added:

“Sometimes you get a little wound up, but the Niagara Falls, we had that when we gave her an eight! If we give her a five, what are you going to get? Commit suicide?! Hari-Kari?! Get over it!”

Even Cristian de la Fuente said of Hough: “He should probably learn to stay quiet. It’s one thing to be angry at the judges and another thing to start talking about the other people here.”

Did you think Hough and Elizabeth were out of line with their reactions?

Looks like Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth are more than just partners on the dance floor.

The pair were spotted hugging and kissing this week while frolicking at the beach in Malibu. They appear to be following in the romantic footsteps of past Dancing with the Stars contestants, Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez.

Derek Hough and Shannon Elizbaeth, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Spotted at the hot L.A. area club Hyde, handsome youngster Derek Hough tried to spin all the various Dancing with the Stars rumors and gossip last night.

He tackled Priscilla Presley’s botched cosmetic surgery procedure, Cheryl Burke and Drew Lachey allegedly boinking, and the standing on the show of his sister and fellow star, the lovely Julianne Hough, who is rumored to be exiting early.

As the premiere of Dancing with the Stars’ sixth season inches closer - March 17, fans! - here’s a look at Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough practicing together.

No matter how Elizabeth and Hough fare on the floor, no doubt these two will be among the best looking couples in the history of the show.

Derek Hough recently spoke to TV Guide about this year’s Dancing with the Stars tour.

So, how’s it going brother of Julianne Hough?

TVGuide.com: You’ve done this before — you did the 2006 Dancing with the Stars winter tour.
Derek Hough: Right. But this tour is a lot different from the last one. When I did the last tour, it was because of the tour that I got a shot on the show. Same thing for Julianne.

TVGuide.com: Really? How so?
Hough: We were on the last winter tour in Nashville, and the producers were like, wow, this girl’s a bombshell. She’s going to be great and we want to put her on the show. I was actually with Julianne when she was offered the show and I was so excited and proud. And not really surprised. Because I knew she was more than capable of doing it and that she would look fantastic.

And when I saw her on the show, and how great she was doing, and then, when she actually won the show, I was overwhelmed with pride.

TVGuide.com: So is this tour different for you from the last one?
Hough: Yes, definitely, because after being on the show, you feel like the audience might expect more from you. Before, nobody knew me, so there wasn’t very much pressure. And I knew that they were focusing on the people they saw on television, the people they had been connecting with. Now, there’s a little more pressure and I’ve got to make sure I do a really good job. I don’t want to let them down.

TVGuide.com: Now that you’ve got some distance from the show, how do you feel about that infamous spill you took with Jenny Garth — the one they replayed over and over?
Hough: It’s good when things like that happen sometimes, just to remind people that this is real, this is live.

After advancing to the final four on Dancing with the Stars, Jennie Garth and Derek Hough have a drink to celebrate.

Tune in this Monday to see them compete against Marie Osmond, Helio Castroneves and Melanie Brown. Who do you think should win?
