Jaleel White had a great run competing on ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ but the former “Family Matters” actor didn’t shimmy well enough to gain enough points to make it through the night. White and partner Kym Johnson were sent packing on Tuesday after judge and dance expert Len Goodman declared the “decision broke his heart.”
After judges Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba touted warm sentiments over the pair’s rumba, in the end the panel thought Disney star Roshon Fegan and his partner Chelsie Hightower finished stronger.
“You both did very well,” Tonioli said. “We have to think.”
“This is not easy. Side by side you guys are pretty much equal,” added Carrie Ann Inaba.
And just like that, after a unanimous vote for the opposing competitors, Jaleel was out.
“I’m going to tell you a secret,” White said. “I only thought I would last three good dances. To get this far… I’ve made incredible friends [and the] fans are incredible.”
White continued on with a farewell speech of sort filled with taking the high road. He jokingly asked the usually stern Goodman to give competitor Roshon a deserving high score.
“Len give him a 10,” said White laughing. “Len is the old guy outside the grocery store who won’t give a kid any money for candy. Len, Roshon is the kid outside the candy store!”
“‘Dancing With the Stars’ is hands down the hardest thing I’ve done,” he added. “I bow down to the beast — which is the dance floor,” said White.
Do you think Jaleel should have been sent home?
