The morning after his castmate was sent home , Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco talked about how inspired he was by the 80-year-old. “Buzz is one of the best to ever do it. He walked on the moon, man. We respect him and what he’s done for this country. He’s big,” Ochocinco said, explaining the emotional salute he and the other celebrities and dancers gave Aldrin, who was Monday night’s low-scorer, as he and partner Ashly Costa did an encore of their waltz. Aldrin told viewers in a sign-off that he “did this show for the fighter pilots out there, the military people and the elder geezers like me, who would just like to see an elder come back week after week.” The 32-year-old Ochocinco, who dances with Cheryl Burke, is still in the mix and joked that his outfits will continue to get more outlandish as the weeks continue. “Everybody can’t pull off these shiny suits. Everybody can’t do it. I’m one of the few. What do you expect? It’s me! I’m crazy, you know,” the Miami native laughed at the launch of OCNN, his athlete-driven social-media network in conjunction with Motorola. “It’s going to get worse and worse. I’m representing Dade County in a different way.” How do you think Ochocinco is doing on “Dancing With the Stars”? Were you sad to see Buzz leave the show? Let us know in the comments below!
