The model and actress and her partner Keo became the second couple eliminated from the competition based on the combination of the Dancing with the Stars judges' scores they had received during last week's performance show and the home viewer votes that were cast immediately following that episode.

"If anything through this, I just wanted to make Keo happy. That was my big thing. I learned so much," Charlotte choked up after her ouster. "I'm extremely grateful. This has been such a challenge and it's tested me. I feel like a better person from this."

"It's been amazing this season. It's been great. And I'm happy that I got to dance with [Charlotte]," Keo added.

The couple had finished in eleventh place last week, finishing one spot above the last-place position that had belonged to The Bachelor star Chris Soules and his partner Witney Carson.

Charlotte and Keo tied for tenth place this week with another couple after they received 22 out of 40 points from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Julianne Hough. For "Latin Night," Charlotte and Keo performed a rumba.

Chris and Witney were the other couple still in danger of elimination prior to Charlotte and Keo's ouster, but they were "not necessarily" one of the bottom-two couples based on the judges' scores and America's votes from last week.

The two couples who tied for the top position on the judges' leaderboard with 34 total points were Olympian Nastia Liukin and partner Derek Hough as well as R5 frontman -- and second cousin of Derek and Julianne -- Riker Lynch and partner Allison Holker.

Nastia and Derek danced a samba routine, while Riker and Allison danced the salsa.

Third place on the judging leaderboard went to actress Rumer Willis and partner Val Chmerkovskiy. They performed a 33-point worthy salsa.

The Hunger Games star Willow Shields and partner Mark Ballas claimed fourth place on the leaderboard with 32 points after they took the stage with a paso doble routine.

U.S. Army veteran Noah Galloway and partner Sharna Burgess finished in fifth place on the judges' leaderboard. They received 30 points after performing an Argentine tango.

Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec and partner Kym Johnson landed in sixth place with 29 points. They danced the rumba.

Seventh place went to Chris and Witney who earned 28 points for their Argentine tango. Their performance was a big improvement from last week.

Actress and author Suzanne Somers and partner Tony Dovolani finished in eighth place. They danced a samba that received 25 points from the judges.

Former NFL player Michael Sam and partner Peta Murgatroyd claimed ninth place on the judges' leaderboard. They performed a salsa routine that earned 24 points.

Lastly, Charlotte and Keo tied for tenth place on the leaderboard with iconic singer Patti LaBelle and partner Artem Chigvintsev. Patti and Artem also received 22 points from the judges after taking the stage with the cha cha.
