He stated on the show that he had learned about this when he saw that his name was not on her wedding invitation, and he promptly returned to dancing.

After returning to the United States from Mexico, Schwimmer learned that his girlfriend had broken up with him.

Chaplin's dance style proved extremely popular with the audience, and other contestants sought his assistance in how to "dance masculine".His best work from season two came, most improbably, from his collaborations with gawky Mormon swing dancer (and eventual season-two champ) Benji Schwimmer, including an early routine with Donyelle and a season-capping nerd-fest with Travis Wall.He managed to produce hip hop that was sweet (Sabra and Dominic's "Make It Work"), scary (Kayla and Jason's "They're Everywhere"), and stylish (the Matrix-y "Get Up" group routine).Although generally rated positively by the judges, viewer votes repeatedly placed Chaplin in the bottom three couples each week.Three of his first partners (Joy Spears, Aleksandra Wojda, and Ashlee Nino) were eliminated, this so-called "curse" becoming a running joke.
