"Oh my gosh, just to be included with this group of people, you know, gold medallists, Olympians, but most importantly just a wonderful bunch of people -- so yes, I'm really happy," Lisa said following her ouster.
"It's been six long weeks I have to say, and boy has it taken its toll. It's been the hardest thing I've ever done, but I've been given a gift dancing with him. He's so patient. But I just really want to thank my castmates because they have been amazing. They've made it so much fun, so thank you!"
Lisa and Gleb finished tied for ninth -- and last -- place at the bottom of Monday night's leaderboard with boxer Victor Ortiz and partner Lindsay Arnold after both couples received only 18 out of 30 possible points from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli for their routines. Lisa and Gleb danced the cha cha, while Victor and Lindsay performed a paso doble.
Victor and Lindsay were the other couple still in danger of elimination prior to Lisa and Gleb's ouster, as both pairs were revealed by Dancing with the Stars co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet to be the bottom-two couples based on the combination of the judges' scores and America's vote.
The 2012 Olympic gold medal winning gymnast Alexandra "Aly" Raisman and partner Mark Ballas finished in first place on the judges' leaderboard after they performed a contemporary routine which received 27 points.
Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman and partner Val Chmerkovskiy and former American Idol finalist and country singer Kellie Pickler and partner Derek Hough finished tied for second place on the leaderboard after both couples earned 26 points for their routines. Zendaya and Val performed a samba routine, while Kellie and Derek danced the rumba.
NFL football player Jacoby Jones and partner Karina Smirnoff finished in fourth place on Monday night's leaderboard. Jacoby and Karina danced the foxtrot which earned 24 points from the judges.
