The former Melrose Place star and Trebunskaya became the second couple ousted from the competition based on the combination of the Dancing with the Stars judges' scores they received during Monday night's performance show and the home viewer votes that were cast afterwards.
"It was a great time. I had a great time, and it was fun to kind of test myself. Thanks to the judges -- appreciate it," Wagner said after Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron revealed the couple's elimination.
"And good luck to everybody else, the other contestants."
Prior to Wagner and Trebunskaya's ouster, singer Gavin DeGraw and partner Karina Smirnoff were the other couple still in danger of elimination, however the Dancing with the Stars broadcast did not specify whether they were the other member of the week's bottom two couples.
