"Last night was a sad moment because, obviously, we had to leave, but we're so blessed, you know. We've been traveling from day one doing this other show that I'm doing, Fix It to Finish It, and doing Dancing at the same time," Sabato Jr. said during a Tuesday appearance on Good Morning America with his professional partner Cheryl Burke.

"So it's been kind of rough. But it's great to have made it this far considering what I've been doing."

Sabato Jr., 42, and Burke were the sixth couple eliminated from Dancing with the Stars' nineteenth season after taking the stage Monday night with a Viennese waltz that earned 27 points out of 40 possible points from the judges. They finished in seventh place on the leaderboard.

"We had an incredible night. We had a great time," Sabato Jr. said.

Burke agreed Sabato Jr. did very well in the competition, especially since the actor and General Hospital star was "coming from no dance experience."

"Antonio did an amazing job and I thought he improved every single week, honestly," Burke explained. "He's a good student, I have to say."

Sabato Jr. said on GMA his family loved watching him dance every single week, and although the show meant a lot to them, it will be nice for him to take a bit of a break and relax.

As for the couples who remain on the show, Burke suggested whom she thinks has the potential to win the whole thing.

"It could be anyone's game, honestly. [Alfonso Ribeiro] is so strong, [Sadie Robertson], [Bethany Mota] -- you just have no idea. It really is up to those voters out there, so everyone has to vote," the pro dancer said.
