Does Billy Ray Cyrus wish to be voted off Dancing with the Stars?

After it was announced that John Ratzenberger was eliminated this week, cameras caught the country music star looking downright perturbed that it wasn't him (pictured, below).

However, in a post on the official Billy Ray Cyrus website, Tish Cyrus defends her husband's reaction:

"He truly felt like he was going to be the one to go home last night and the fact that he didn't made him so happy! We both know that has a lot to do with you guys! All of these rumors about him wanting to get voted off is just NOT TRUE. He is very competitive and is ready to go down fighting!"

Well, okay then. But that doesn't really explain the face he made.

It shouldn't matter anyway. We don't see Cyrus lasting past next week. The judges didn't love that he chose to spotlight his partner, Karina Smirnoff (who doesn't look thrilled to be staying in the photo above, either, does she?), in one of his most recent dances.

While the Hannah Montana actor may have improved a lot over the course of the show, the competition (have you seen Apolo Anton Ohno?!?) is just too strong.
