Dancing with the Stars eliminated Charo and her professional partner Keo Motsepe during Monday night's Season 24 performance show on ABC.

Keo and the entertainer/reality TV veteran became the second couple ousted from the competition based on the combination of Dancing with the Stars judges' scores and home viewer votes they had received during last week's episode.

"Hello everybody. I am having a very good time. I enjoyed it very much. [Bruno Tonioli], I'll see you in the parking lot," Charo joked in her final words, referencing her playful feud with the judge over her low scores in the show's first couple of weeks.

Charo and Keo tied with another couple for ninth place on the judges' leaderboard last week after they received only 25 out of 40 points for their paso doble routine. She landed towards the bottom of the leaderboard in Season 24's premiere as well.

The Bachelor star Nick Viall and partner Peta Murgatroyd were the other couple in jeopardy last night prior to Charo and Keo's elimination; however, they were not necessarily one of the bottom-two couples based on judges' scores and America's votes.

Monday night's show featured the 11 remaining couples each performing one dance routine choreographed for "Vegas Night," which was a tribute to Las Vegas and all of its glamour.

Fifth Harmony member Normani Kordei and partner Val Chmerkovskiy topped the leaderboard in first place after the pair received 34 out of 40 points for their foxtrot to "Big Spender" by Shirley Bassey from Dancing with the Stars judges Bruno, Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Julianne Hough.

Second place was a tie between two couples at 33 points: Glee star Heather Morris and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy as well as iconic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan and partner Artem Chigvintsev.

Heather took the stage with DWTS Troupe member Alan Bersten again due to Maksim's leg injury. In an update, Maksim said he's walking again and quickly making strides. He hopes to make a full comeback by the end of the week and potentially return to the ballroom for next Monday night's show.

Heather and Alan performed the tango to "Toxic" by Britney Spears, while Nancy and Artem danced a sexy samba to "Shake Your Bon-Bon" by Ricky Martin.

Sixth place at 28 points went to NFL player Rashad Jennings and partner Emma Slater. The pair danced a samba to "Swalla" by Jason Derulo featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign.

Nick and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika "Erika Jayne" Girardi tied for seventh place on the judges' leaderboard with 26 points each.

Nick and Peta performed the tango to "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga, while Erika Jayne and partner Gleb Savchenko took the stage with a jive set to "Take Me to Heaven" by Patina Miller, Debbie Kurup and Amy Booth-Steel.
