Jake Has Been Voted off DWTS

By: Lina Di Genova

Jake Pavelka has been voted off Dancing With The Stars during Tuesday night's elimination episode.

I know that Jake wasn't the greatest dancer; but, he really tried and pushed himself each and every week. I still thought he had some dancing left in him. (Well not so much dancing but some more foot stumbles.)

"This is, I think, the best season of 'Dancing with [the] Stars' I've ever seen. I was so honored to be here," Jake said after learning the news he would not be continuing in the competition. "I enjoyed every second of this."

Jake went on to thank his home state of Texas, as well as all the support he received over the season from fans near and far.

"Thank you for keeping me here for six episodes," he said. "I can't even put into words how much I've enjoyed this.

"This is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be to say goodbye," Jake continued as he began to get choked up. "I consider the judges, the cast, the crew, all of the viewers — family."

The tears came, however, when co-host Brooke Burke asked Jake what he wanted to say to his professional dance partner, Chelsie Hightower.

"Thank you so much Chelsie, you're one of my best friends," he said, pausing as tears welled up in his eyes. "I have loved every second of this. I love you. Thank you for being so great to my beautiful fiancee, Vienna. Thank you everybody for watching and keeping me in. Thank you so much."

So BCC fans, are you glad that Jake has finally hung his dancing shoes? Let me know by leaving your comments below.
