FOX11 also talked with some of the couples. Here’s some quotes from Gary. I love this guy…

But Busey exclusively told FOX411 that he didn’t belong in the bottom two.

“That was a setup. That wasn’t even true,” Busey said.

The “Lethal Weapon” star earned 18 out of 30 points for his foxtrot that paid tribute to his time as a high school football player in his hometown of Tulsa, Okla.

After the dance, which the judges praised, Busey got roars from the crowd and shouted on camera, “I love this place. I’m here to stay!”

Busey said backstage that the letterman jacket he danced in was the actual one he’d worn in high school, and added, “I controlled the crowd [by] letting the crowd know how much I love that they’re there. I did it tonight and I’ll do it tomorrow night.”

Indeed, Busey will dance again on Tuesday as part of the special two-night “DWTS” event. During the second night, Busey’s pro partner Anna Trebunskaya’s Russian hometown will take center stage and they will dance Paso Doble to Tchaikovsky.

Entertainment Tonight and People have some great writes up on the night. You can also view more interviews and more with Derek and Bindi at Pure Derek Hough.
