Kim Fields wasn't just surprised about her Dancing with the Stars elimination -- she was "stunned."

"It was very much a shocker. I'm very stunned. And even as [the announcement] was unfolding, it was like, 'Okay, yay! [Wanya Morris] is safe!' And then we were just listening like, 'Wait, is this what -- wait a minute. This is this!' Just stunned," Fields admitted during a Tuesday appearance on Good Morning America.
"And now it's like a bad Vine that plays in my head of [host Tom Bergeron] just saying 'Kim.'"
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was eliminated with her pro partner Sasha Farber during Monday night's performance show after receiving a high score of 27 points for their samba routine from Dancing with the Stars judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman.
"If you're going to go, you go out on a bang," Farber said on GMA. "And she got three 9s, and she looked amazing and I'm just happy that I got this opportunity to dance with this amazing woman and be there by your side and see you grow as a dancer."

Fields, 46, agreed with Farber's perspective on the timing of their ouster and said she gained "so much" from her experience on the show.
"A whole new skill set, first of all, at one of the highest levels you could imagine, blending with pros and being in their environment," the actress explained. "I've discovered a new passion and I found a new happy place for myself. It's really exciting... And of course [I made] new friends."
"We're taking it to Broadway!" Farber joked.
When asked which couple has the potential to go all the way this season, Farber simply replied, "It's a tight competition."
