In a surprising elimination, Dancing with the Stars bid farewell to Toni Braxton and Alec Mazo last night.

The couple found itself in the bottom two, along with Susan Lucci and Tony Dovolani, following a disappointing West Coast Swing Monday night.

After getting the boot, Braxton said she was disappointed to be going home so early, but still focused on the bright side:

“I wanted to do better, to breathe better and I was definitely breathing better. I’ve come a long way from week one to week now.”
