*Ralph Macchio feels like the judges on "DWTS" didn't give him a "fair shake". The Karate Kid star was kicked off the hit ABC show Tuesday, after the credits rolled, he told reproters he "felt circled, as the one couple that didn't get the praise and built up like the others". THe 49-year-old actor said that some of the comments made Monday by judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, & Bruno Tonioli, were "rude and disrespectable". Tonioli was briefly bleeped while making his remarks, during which he also referred to Macchio's professional partner Karina Smirnoff, as "a pussycat" Smirnoff was wearing a leopard-print cat suit for the performance. The couple earned the lowest scores of the night. Macchio said he "felt like playing the field wasn't level for some reason" and that he "had a feeling" he would be eliminated from the show the next day. Football star Hines Ward and actresses Kirstie Alley and Chelsea Kane will still compete for the mirrorball trophy next week. Macchio said he as no idea who will be named the new "Dancing" champ.
