Simone Biles booted off "Dancing with the Stars"
LOS ANGELES -- Team USA will not be two for two on "Dancing with the Stars" after Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles was eliminated from the reality competition despite perfect scores for her two dances during Monday night's performance.
Judges were visibly shocked following host Tom Bergeron's announcement that Biles and dance partner Sasha Farber finished last in fan voting.
Biles was gracious afterward, saying she learned a lot about herself and planned to return for next week's finale. She wrote on Instagram on Tuesday morning, "Can't thank you enough @sashafarber1 for all you've done. this journey has truly been life changing and I wouldn't want to do it with any other person."
She was hoping to follow in the footsteps of Olympic teammate Laurie Hernandez, who won the Mirrorball Trophy last season.
Biles' elimination leaves former Chicago Cubs catcher David Ross, NFL free agent Rashad Jennings and Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei in the running for the crown at the finale.
