Dancing with the Stars Jesse Metcalfe Eliminated During '80s Night<br /><br />"I feel like I need to show America who I really am. Hopefully I can bring my vulnerability and more of my heart to this <br /><br />performance," the ousted star said of their final performance <br /><br />Jesse Metcalfe's Dancing with the Stars days have come to an end.<br /><br /><br />On Monday's live episode of the ABC reality dance competition series — when the celebrities performed dances to hits from the <br /><br />1980s — the Desperate Housewives actor was eliminated alongside pro partner Sharna Burgess.<br /><br />With just minutes left of the show, host Tyra Banks announced that Metcalfe was in the bottom two alongside Vernon Davis and <br /><br />pro Peta Murgatroyd.<br /><br />"Now, obviously this is not what was last week, right, in the bottom two. So this is a little bit of a shock," said Banks.<br /><br />With the decision in the hands of the judges, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli both decided to save Davis. Though his vote <br /><br />wasn't necessary to break a tie, Derek Hough said he also would have chosen to save the former NFL star.<br /><br /><br />For their final performance of season 29, Metcalfe, 41, and Burgess, 35, performed a tango to "Tears for Fears" and earned a <br /><br />19-30.<br /><br />Though Metcalfe "started very well" in his dance, according to Tonioli, he "went wrong quite a few times. You kind of lost <br /><br />your timing. It's getting the balance of the two: the performance and the technique. Both of them have to be at the same <br /><br />level. So I get what you were trying to do, performance-wise you are getting there, but then you lost your steps, you lost <br /><br />your timing and it went a bit wrong."<br /><br />While Inaba agreed with Tonioli, she thought Metcalfe was "much more confident. When that beat kicked in, I saw you feeling <br /><br />the music for the first time."<br /><br /><br />During rehearsals with Burgess, the John Tucker Must Die actor opened up about feeling like an "outsider" as a kid.<br />"I wasn't popular," said Metcalfe.<br /><br />"I covered it, and kind of tried to ostracize people before they did that to me," he said about his lack of popularity being <br /><br />hard for him during his childhood. "Make it look like I didn't care, but I cared."
