"I feel like I've got a million dollars right now in my wallet," Charo told E! News following her ouster. "I enjoy, very much, the show. I enjoyed learning the famous f-cktrot."
Charo's joke resulted in Keo cracking up and laughing in front of the reporter backstage.
"I made a beautiful friend and I got connected with Keo," Charo added on a serious note. "This is not a job, this is an incredible experience and I recommend this to everybody."
The pair received 24 out of 40 points for their foxtrot routine from Dancing with the Stars judges Julianne Hough, Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba last night. Charo and Keo therefore tied with two other couples for ninth place on the leaderboard.
"It's been an amazing experience," Keo noted to E! News.
"Tell the truth! He wants to kill me," Charo joked.
"Sometimes," Keo admitted with a big smile. "You know what? I enjoyed this season. She's amazing and I learned a lot from her. I learned so much about life, about family, about -- just everything, man. I'm just so happy."
Charo -- whom reports claimed wanted to quit Dancing with the Stars due to "unfair" judges scores, especially from Bruno -- insisted she certainly didn't leave the Season 24 competition feeling disappointed or defeated.
"You've got to understand, this is a victory in my mind, in my heart," Charo revealed.
