'DWTS' Results: Victor Ortiz Has Been Eliminated

Who Went Home On 'DWTS'?

The "DWTS" results are in and Victor Ortiz has been eliminated.

"I would take nothing back. I've had a blast. I made great friends," Victor said when the final "DWTS" results were announced. "At the end of the day, it was a heck of an experience ... I'm happy to have gotten this far."

The boxer and his partner Lindsay Arnold were in the bottom for the fourth time in Season 16, along with comedian Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess (unsurprisingly). But one element of the "DWTS" results was a bit of a shock: "Bachelor" Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd were in jeopardy for the first time this season.

Victor struggled throughout the competition, particularly during Stevie Wonder night on Monday, where he failed to pick up the romantic rumba, set to "I Just Called to Say I Love You." Judge Bruno Tonioli compared his movements to a flight attendant's and then that critique was followed by an incredibly awkward post-dance interview. Plus, Victor's group dance earned the lower score of the two, giving him a 40 for the week and landing him at the bottom of the leaderboard.

On the positive side of things, country songstress Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough -- who received the highest score of the week when the group score was added in -- were the first to move on, followed by Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas, Disney star Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy, soap actor Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson, and NFL player Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff. Eventually, Andy and Sharna and Sean and Peta joined them and will move on to Week 7 of the competition.

Surprisingly, Team Paso won the encore performance to "Higher Ground" -- thanks to fan tweets -- even though Team Samba's energetic routine to "Superstition" earned them higher scores from the judges during Stevie Wonder night.

Olly Murs kicked off the "DWTS" results show, performing his new hit single "Troublemaker." Later, Will.I.Am. graced the stage with a virtual Justin Bieber to perform their new track "That Power."

In a package from Monday night's performance show, Stevie Wonder -- who performed live -- said he'd like to come back as a contestant on "DWTS." Though co-host Brooke Burke Charvet confirmed that "he wasn't kidding" during the results show, Tom Bergeron joked that Wonder has instead decided to join "Splash" later on in the night.

Next week, the remaining seven competitors take on Latin night.
