"It's been good. It's really been good," Tyson said of his experience on Dancing with the Stars' 32nd season.
"I learned a lot of things that I can take into the real world, so I had a good time. Thank you, [Jenna], for everything. We put in some hard work, but one slip and that was it for us. I'm sorry."
Two other couples -- social media and Netflix star Harry Jowsey and pro partner Rylee Arnold as well as American Pie actress Alyson Hannigan and pro partner Sasha Farber -- were in danger of going home at the end of Tuesday night's broadcast; however, Dancing with the Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro announced how they were not necessarily the bottom three couples based on judges' scores and viewers votes.
Harry and Alyson therefore survived the night and will dance again next week.
Prior to the elimination portion of the evening, 12 couples performed in one round of "Motown" competition for Dancing with the Stars judges Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba, and guest judge Michael Strahan.
Two celebrities topped the judges' leaderboard and tied for first place with 34 out of 40 possible points on Tuesday night's "Motown" show: Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix and singer two-time Grammy winner Jason Mraz.
Ariana and pro partner Pasha Pashkov danced the quickstep, and Jason and pro partner Daniella Karagach performed the jive.
Derek told Ariana that her quickstep was "fantastic," and Bruno called it "a sparkling performance."
Jason was told that he performs with ease and in an effortless nature, and Bruno added how he was quick and precise.
Third place also represented a tie between two couples at 32 points: The Bachelorette star Charity Lawson and pro partner Artem Chigvintsev as well as Marvel star Xochitl and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy.

Bruno told Charity that she had delivered the gold standard of foxtrot, and Carrie Ann said she looked like a princess gliding across the floor.
"You took my breath away," Carrie Ann told Charity.
Derek told Xochitl her dance was beautiful and graceful, all the while wrapped up in charm and fun.
Fifth place on the judges' leaderboard went to singer and social media star Lele Pons and pro partner Brandon Armstrong after they danced a cha cha that earned 27 judges' points.
"You sell it, I buy it! Seriously your performance instinct is spot on, but sometimes you lose control," Bruno told Lele.
Actress Mira Sorvino and pro partner Gleb Savchenko finished the night in sixth place. They took the stage with a rumba routine that earned 26 points from the judges.

The Brady Bunch star Barry Williams and pro partner Peta Murgatroyd claimed seventh place on the leaderboard after performing a 25-point worthy tango routine.
Derek told Barry that he had a strong tango and has fantastic timing with the music; however, he must work on his frame.
Two couples tied for eighth place on the leaderboard after receiving 24 points from the judges.
Alyson and Sasha were one of those couples, and they were joined by Harry and Rylee. Both couples danced the foxtrot.
Derek could tell that Alyson was becoming more comfortable on the stage, but Carrie Ann pointed out how her shoulders were a little high.
Carrie Ann said she found Harry very impressive because he has no performance experience but there was a poetry to the way he was moving.
Tenth place on the leaderboard went to real estate mogul and reality TV star Mauricio Umansky and pro partner Emma Slater. They earned 23 judges' points for their foxtrot routine.
Carrie Ann gushed about how Mauricio can really dance and he's very smooth and suave. She even had to insist that she wasn't flirting with him.
NFL All-star running back Adrian Peterson and pro partner Britt Stewart placed eleventh on the leaderboard after performing a quickstep routine that received 22 judges' points.
Bruno said Adrian was pretty light on his feet and that his dance was impressive, and Carrie Ann also saw improvement in the celebrity dancer.
And finally, Tyson and Jenna landed at the bottom of the night's leaderboard with only 20 points. They danced a foxtrot routine.
