"When we got eliminated -- I told him tonight, 'Whatever happens, we're going to be okay.' And then all of a sudden, I looked at him and went, 'Wait, I'm not going to see you every day!' That just hit me, like that moment of, 'Oh my gosh, what we've been doing every day for two-and-a-half months now is different,' and I didn't like that."
The Fuller House star continued, "That thought hadn't occurred to me. I'm going to miss that. I'm going to miss the people here. I came to love a lot of people and have a lot of fun here. But I'll be back in a week-and-a-half for the finale."
Motsepe admitted he'll miss Sweetin just as much because of the person she is and what she stands for.
"I'm very proud of you and I think every woman out there should look at you and say, 'She is someone who inspires us every day.' You pushed me so much and thank you for my perfect score, and this was my first time being on Week 8. And without you, I wouldn't have done it! So thank you so much, baby," Motsepe said.
Sweetin and Motsepe got eliminated after receiving a perfect score of 30 points for their individual jive routine.
"I feel incredibly satisfied with what we did on this show and what we did tonight. We walk away from here on a high note with a perfect score doing an amazing dance," Sweetin explained.
"We worked so hard every week. We set goals for ourselves and we met them. This week was like, 'Let's get all 10s.' And we did it! I came to the show and I didn't realize the amazing experience that I would have. Walking away from it, I just feel really blessed and grateful to have done it."
Sweetin elaborated how it felt "incredible" to receive a perfect score from the judges after they had worked their "tails off" preparing for the difficult, fast number.
"This jive, we knew that if we did it as good as we did it in dress rehearsal, we were going to get 10s. And we did, and it was like, 'Yeah!' It was great," she noted.
Sweetin was also thankful to have loved ones in the audience on the night of her ouster, including her mother and Fuller House co-star Candace Cameron Bure.
Bure, who finished in third place on Season 18 of Dancing with the Stars, cried tears of joy over Sweetin's performance.

"Candace said, 'I think I was crying more than your mom!' They were both just bawling in the audience. They were both so proud of me. They've seen me work so hard, and I talk to Candace all the time -- she's been a huge cheerleader," Sweetin revealed.
Tuesday morning, Bure and Sweetin began taping Fuller House's second edition for Netflix.
"I'm so grateful. What a blessing. My life is kind of unbelievable today. It's like, wow two amazing experiences right back to back," Sweetin said.
