Another week, another round of eliminations on ABC's Dancing With the Stars. This time, the public decided it was time to go for Nancy Grace, the television personality, who made a very graceful exit and recalled to thank everyone in her final speech.

Grace, of whom many said she didn't deserve to make it this far in the competition in the first place, placed at the bottom of the leaderboard after the tango the other night.

She only had her fans to rely on to help her make it through to another show, but it seems they preferred Robert Kardashian, who was also in danger of being booted, because he was saved.

Grace didn't cry and she certainly didn't make a scene when she was told she would be leaving the show, even though her partner Tristan MacManus appeared to have been taken by surprise by the decision.

The television personality thanked her fans and her family for helping her come this far in the competition. She saved the best for last, as the video below will confirm.

Nancy told the cameras and the DWTS presenters that she couldn't have lasted a week on the show if it hadn't been for Tristan, who stood by her through thick and thin and helped her improve her dancing, even when she thought she couldn't do any better.

“I really cannot take the credit [for my performances]. It's been all Tristan from the get-go. It's been the whole crew at Dancing With the Stars,” Grace said.

“It's been my whole family who took care of [my] twins so that I could dance,” she added, before looking at Tristan and caressing his face with her hand.

“But especially to you, Trist, I thank you,” Grace said.

The professional dancer also thanked the viewers at home who had voted for him and Nancy, and stressed that they had done their best to stay in the competition for as long as they did.

“It's not about being the best. It's about doing your best, and that's what we did,” he said.
