SEATTLE - Former UW Husky and World Cup soccer goalie Hope Solo survived yet another scare last week on "Dancing with the Stars." Solo and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, danced the Rumba for "Broadway Week" to "Season of Love."

Despite ending up in the bottom three for the third time in four weeks, the combined total of 20 points from the judges and viewers' votes were enough to pass them through to Week 7.

The pair will dance in costumes for Halloween Week this week. Viewers can follow all the action along on Twitter with #maksolo to support the pair tonight at 8/7C on ABC.

Activist Chaz Bono and his partner Lacey Schwimmer were the last copule to be eliminated. They now join Reality TV personality Carson Kressley and his partner, Anna Trebunskaya, singer Chynna Phillips and dancing partner Tony Dovolani, reality TV personality Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas, Italian model Elisabetta Canalis and Val Chmerkovskiy, and NBA star Ron Artest and Peta Mugatroyd.

To vote for team `MakSolo', fans can call the toll-free number 1-800-868-3408, text "VOTE" to the same number (for AT&T customers only), or go on-line to abc.com and register to vote. The phone and text number will remain the same throughout the season. Fans can start voting multiple times during and immediately after each performance show. Phone and text lines will stay open until 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will continue to be open until 8 a.m. PT the following day, when the DWTS Results Show will air (Tuesdays at 8/7C) and the couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will be eliminated from the competition.

Go Huskies!
