"This sucks, I'm not going to lie! I really, really liked doing the show and I really had such a great time. I hope that I just proved I did the scariest thing I've ever done, and I tried my best and I had fun. I'm going to cry. It was just so fun, so fun. Thank you for having me!"
The five couples who were in jeopardy of elimination based on Monday night's judges' scores and home viewer votes were asked to dance again in attempt to save themselves on Tuesday night, earning additional scores from Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman as well as real-time votes from people watching at home.
Nikki and Gleb, who were one of the five couples, were sent packing after receiving the lowest combined total of judges' scores and America's votes over the two nights of performances.
On Tuesday night's show, Nikki and Gleb Savchenko performed the salsa and walked away with 18 points from the judges. Their total combined score for the week was 35 points, as the couple had earned 17 points on Monday night for their salsa routine.
The other four couples in jeopardy of going home were model and Cover Girl Alexis Ren and partner Alan Bersten, former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton and partner Sasha Farber, downhill skier Danelle Umstead and partner Artem Chigvintsev, and actress and Facts of Life alum Nancy McKeon and partner Val Chmerkovskiy.
