RedFoo admits he absolutely did not see his elimination coming during Monday night's Dancing with the Stars broadcast.

When RedFoo, an LMFAO singer and deejay, was kicked out of the competition last night with his pro partner Emma Slater, the audience booed loudly and host Tom Bergeron almost scolded America, telling them they have to vote for their favorite dancers.
Less than one-tenth of 1% separated RedFoo and Emma from the other bottom-two couple in the voting. That second couple was not revealed.
"It was an uproar. I mean, the people have spoken. This was our best performance by far," RedFoo said during a Tuesday appearance with Emma on Good Morning America.
"I was very surprised and shocked because all I was thinking about was just improving, getting better, taking what the judges said the first week and just getting that skill. Emma and I, we really honed in on the skill of the jive and the kicks and the flicks! We drilled even harder. It was just a total shock."

RedFoo and Emma had landed at the bottom of the judges' leaderboard last week in a tie for last place.
However, the pair had a great showing last night with 31 out of 40 points from Dancing with the Stars judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Julianne Hough. They danced a jive to "My Sharona" that put them one point behind a tie for second place.
"It was a really big difference from Week 1 to Week 2. We worked really hard both weeks, but something just clicked in Week 2," Emma explained on GMA, adding that their hard work definitely paid off. "If you're going to go out, go out with a bang!"
But Emma was still pretty bummed out by their early ouster.
"There were so many things that we wanted to do that we never got around to doing, so we're kind of disappointed for that," she confessed. "But you've just got to look for the silver lining, really."
