The 41-year-old described the six weeks as incredible and spoke about the clip that aired before his performance, noting that he enjoyed opening up and would have loved to do that some more.

Burgess also shared a similar sentiment revealing that she didn't want to leave so early. However, she was so impressed with her partner. Praising his talent, the dancer said:

"Jesse has done an amazing job at stepping up, with absolutely no experience whatsoever, and doing something that is incredibly difficult. And doing it in front of millions of people!"

Fans may recall that after a tango rendition to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears' on Monday night, Burgess and Metcalfe earned a score of 19 out of 30.

They found themselves in the bottom two alongside Vernon Davis and Peta Murgatroyd, but unfortunately, the judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli, voted them out.

It was indeed a disappointment for Burgess, who tagged season 29 as her comeback season after skipping season 28. Burgess took home the Mirrorball trophy in Season 27 and hoped she could do the same this year.

The week before her elimination, the Australian native was battling an intense ankle sprain behind the scenes. During the Top 13 night performance on October 5, she was seen with a wrap on her ankle.

In an interview after she and Metcalfe's performance, Burgess confessed to having worn the bandage since the first week because of an injury she suffered. It affected her renditions, but she managed to put up her best until the end.
