Dancing with the Stars pro Tony Dovolani made it clear throughout the twentieth season he wasn't pleased with how the judges scored his performances with partner Suzanne Somers, but now he's really letting them have it.

"This competition is definitely not fair," Dovolani told Good Morning America after last night's show. "None of us expect it to be fair, but they always say they judge each person on their own merit. Well, they definitely didn't judge us the right way."
Dovolani and Somers, an actress and author, tended to land in the bottom half of the pack every week. Although Dovolani was convinced a couple times they did an amazing job, they'd receive low scores of 6's or 7's.
As for the votes coming in, Dovolani said, "I think people forgot that she's 60 because she looks so good. Suzanne really worked so hard for me that I wouldn't change one thing."
During a Tuesday appearance on Live with Kelly and Michael, Somers had a huge smile on her face when discussing her show experience and Monday night elimination.

"It's frankly humiliating," Somers joked. "When you're standing there [onstage]... and [Tony] is like, 'Just figure out what you're going to say,' and it was like, 'Are you trying to say we're going to be voted off?!' And he said to me, 'Dance as though it's your last dance!'"
"Yes, I did say that," Dovolani admitted after letting out a big laugh.
Somers also revealed that the heel of her shoe got caught on the hem of her black gown, which is why there appeared to be a wardrobe malfunction during their dance last night. She had trouble getting back into step and finding her timing after the incident.
Somers and Dovolani had taken the stage with a jazz routine inspired by Lady and the Tramp for "Disney Night." They tied with another couple for fifth place on the leaderboard after receiving 28 points from the judges.
