Dancing With the Stars bid farewell to two celebrities this week, each for very different reasons.

First, Natalie Coughlin was given the boot, as America continues to support awful dancer Michael Irvin for some reason.

Soon after her elimination, the apologetic swimmer said: "I loved this so much. I guess I didn't show it, how much I loved it, but I really did. I'm sorry."

Meanwhile, Dancing with the Stars said goodbye to Michael Jackson in its own moving way.

After this article's jump, watch the show's professionals praise the late singer and then try to impersonate him on the dance floor.
