The 41-year-old comedian cried after being eliminated from the hit ABC show, but vowed to continue dancing. "I thought the judges were really hard on me, but I think you were hard on me because you could see that I am a dancer for real," she said. "And I thank you for that. I will take that with me forever." Earlier in the season, Cho revealed that she had loved dance as a child, but quit when someone called her a "fat ballerina." "Thank you for the opportunity to let me dance," she said. "I'm going to keep dancing." Cho and her professional partner, Louis Van Amstel, came into Tuesday's episode in last place, collecting just 18 points out of 30 for their colorful, pride-themed samba. She performed in a rainbow dress and said she wanted to promote pride and self-acceptance after a rash of suicides by gay teens in recent weeks. Judge Bruno Tonioli praised Cho for "wearing the rainbow flag," but he said he couldn't overlook her errors and faulty footwork.
