It is getting down to crunch time on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, and Mario says he needs your help, Baltimore.

"I think sometimes when you have a really good score, people think you don't need the vote -- so they vote for someone else who they like in the competition," the 21-year-old Baltimore-born performer said, referring to last week when he and partner Karina Smirnoff danced to one of the highest scores but came within one couple of elimination.

On TV Dancing with the Stars airs at 8 tonight on ABC (WMAR, Channel 2).
