"I thought the judges were really hard on me, but I think they were hard on me because they could see that I am a dancer, for real," a tearful Cho said upon learning her fate.

"I thank you for that. I will take that with me forever. Thank you so much. ... Thank you for the opportunity to let me dance."

Still in the running for the coveted mirror ball trophy, along with their professional dance partners, are Rick Fox, Jennifer Grey, Florence Henderson, Kyle Massey, Brandy, Bristol Palin, Audrina Patridge, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Kurt Warner.
