However, she knew the end was close and inevitable when it was her, Skai Jackson, and Nev Schulman, with their partners, left on the dancefloor. She wrote about her disappointment:

The 39-year-old remained hopeful that she and the other stars would connect even after the show is over. Stause also divulged her biggest lesson on the dancing competition, writing:

"The biggest lesson I've learned about myself is just because you don't know how to do something, doesn't mean you can't. It just means you haven't learned how to yet. "

As for her plans now that the dancing competition is over, the Netflix star is focused on getting back to her clients while she waits for a green light for the fourth season of "Selling Sunset."

In the meantime, she plans to go for a little vacation with her friends and relax her body after the rigorous training it underwent. Stause was eliminated from the show on November 2.

She and Savchenko were in the bottom two alongside Skai Jackson and Alan Bersten. It was a surprise for the judges and audience as neither Jackson and Stause had ever been at risk. Hence, it was a difficult decision when the judges saved Jackson and let Stause go.

In an interview shortly after the elimination, Stause, who signed up for the competition following her publicized and controversial divorce from "This Is Us" star, Justin Hartley, said that the show was therapeutic for her. Aside from her split, the reality star lost both of her parents to cancer.

The week before her exit, Stause made headline with her creative Halloween costume on October 26's Villians Night, where she dressed as Angelina Jolie's character in the Disney movie, "Maleficient." Gleb, on the other hand, complimented her outfit with a matching purple and black attire.
