What is it about this guy? I don’t watch Jersey Shore, so, I guess I don’t understand the draw. But let me tell you, the draw is there and it’s very real!

Of all of the famous people who I have or have not met, the celebrity I am most asked about recently, by far, has shockingly been Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.

That fan interest was also the reason The Situation remained safe from elimination tonight on Dancing with the Stars. The Situation and his partner, Karina Smirnoff, were bound in a three-way tie for last place after the judge’s scores. But his fans must have voted for the pair by the millions because the duo didn’t even crack the bottom two when the fan votes were combined with the judges’ scores.

Despite his last place finish with the judges and before The Situation knew he was safe, Mike claimed he had not performed badly. “I didn’t do bad,” he told Us after the show.

“I knew dancing wasn’t my strong point. But I thought, ‘I’m going to give this everything and try my hardest and whatever happens, happens.’ And this was in front of millions of people! I just jumped head-first into it, like I do with everything.” Mike went on to say he thought the judges were too critical of his ballroom skills. “I think they were definitely a little hard on me! I mean, I jumped off the stage! I thought that was cool.”

“I am a very confident guy, but I understand you have to sometimes risk defeat to get a victory,” he said. “I’m trying to show people, ‘Hey, this guy is going out of his element, and he’s taking on a competition in front of millions of people. Maybe he’s making a fool out of himself, but he’s still doing okay,'” he told Us. I just want people to know this is an intelligent kid.”
