Another week, more questions on whether Dancing With the Stars eliminations are fair. On last night's eliminations show, David Arquette and partner Kym Johnson were sent home.

Television personality Nancy Grace, who was in the bottom of the chart after Monday's performance, escaped elimination and, as various voices online point out, she seemed just as surprised as the rest of the world was that she didn't get the boot.

David, on the other hand, played it extremely cool, showing once more why he'd become so popular with fans: he was fun, earnest and, more importantly, hard-working.

It's because of this that people are already talking about the possibility that the wrong pair of dancers was sent home, with many saying it was Grace who should have left the competition.

On Monday's show, David lit the stage on fire with a Cha Cha that got the judges singing his praises, but his performance on the group tango left a lot to be desired.

Eventually, he was sent packing, since the combination of viewers' votes and judges' scores landed him at the bottom of the chart.

“This whole thing has been incredible,” he said after the eliminations, as cited by ABC.

“He also joked that the results must be a mistake, adding 'this is my show' – apparently poking fun at dance pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s infamous comment of a few weeks ago,” ABC further reports.

After he left the show, David was on Jimmy Kimmel, was he remained just as gracious about the elimination. He even joked that he was kicked out of the competition because it'd become clear he was getting better.

“I was about to break through – they took me off cause I was a threat!” he joked. “We plan on dancing some more – there’s a great ‘Dancing’ in Argentina.Have you seen that? We want to take this on the road… We’ll dance anywhere. Reno!” he added.

He also told Kimmel that he was grateful for the time he had on DWTS and didn't have any hard feelings about not moving on in the competition.

“Everything happens for a reason, and I got everything I wanted out of it,” he also said.

Below is the video of David Arquette and Kym Johnson's last dance on DWTS, the Cha Cha. Enjoy.

How can Nancy Grace still be on this show? She has absolutely no talent at all.

Can't believe David was sent packing and Nancy Grace escaped elimination. Actually, I'm surprised Nancy is still on the show in the first place. She is about as graceful as a buffalo, and I find it hard to believe the outspoken commentator has that many fans.

David should have never gone home. The whole show is so much a popularity contest and not based on talant. I really like Derek and Ricki, he is fantastic. To many get sent home way before they should because the "popular" ones stay to long.

Cheryl "thunder thighs" Burke and Rob should have been gone before Chas Bono.
This is a popularity contest and the K family is spending lots of time getting votes for Rob.
He really can not dance, but then his teacher is only a FAIR dancer.
Max needs to grow up!

RJ and Karina top everyone!!!!!!!
