'Dancing With the Stars' 2013: Leah Remini Talks Elimination from Season 17 at Semifinal Round [VIDEO]
Leah Remini was eliminated on Monday night's episode of Dancing With the Stars, but the King of Queens actress isn't beating herself up about it.
Remini came in fifth place on this season of Dancing With the Stars, falling just short of participating in next week's finale. Speaking with Good Morning America on Tuesday, the actress had nothing but kind words for her pro partner Tony Dovolani.
"I did my best. Tony really had his work cut out for him," Remini admitted. "They should give him a raise. He's my best friend, my therapist. He's just an amazing, amazing human being." Remini's daughter Sofia Bella, 9, was upset about the elimination but Remini said that her daughter was proud of her.
Dovolani had equally kind words for Remini in the Good Morning America interview.
"She made me laugh every single day," he explained. "We got along great. Words can't describe how much fun we had."
Going into next week's finale, there are four couples left. The frontrunners based on judges' scores are Glee actress Amber Riley and partner Derek Hough and High School Musical star Corbin Bleu and partner Karina Smirnoff.
Reality star Jack Osbourne is not far behind with partner Cheryl Burke, steadily improving his dances with each week of competition. Comedian Bill Engvall has consistently received the lowest scores each week with partner Emma Slater but the public vote has been very strong in supporting him.
Season 17 of Dancing With the Stars airs its two-night finale Monday, Nov. 25 at 8 p.m. on ABC and concludes with the announcement of the winner on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 9 p.m.
