UPDATE: Mark Cuban received enough audience votes to advance to the next week of competition. Boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr., goes home instead. My informal, Internet-based, entirely hearsay investigation shows that Cuban is ginning up his votes from the blogger/self-proclaimed-geek community via his blog and Facebook.com. Given his success thus far, I have to wonder why he didn't employ the same strategy to save The Benefactor.

Opening up the show, Mark Cuban and professional partner Kym Johnson presented their fourth dance performance Monday, October 15, on ABC's Dancing with the Stars. They danced the Viennese Waltz to a cover of Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles." Practice footage revealed Cuban's somewhat anal-retentive rehearsal method -- apparently he writes down all of his steps on a piece of paper, which he then reads while practicing his steps alone. On his blog, he admits to a brief realization that perhaps a better way to learn dancing might be by, um, actually dancing.

The judges rewarded Cuban's "best dance yet" with his best score yet, a 22. But Cuban continues to falter in a very talented field (Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan scored the season's first perfect score of 30 on the same night with her Paso Doble). He'll need a lot of viewer votes to counter his judge's score, which was the lowest of the evening -- despite judge Carrie Ann Inaba comparing Cuban to "the little engine that could."

Tune in to the results show Tuesday, October 16 at 8 pm to see if "I think I can" will be enough.
