Despite a performance by Justin Bieber and Boyz ii Men, the day after Halloween was no treat for David Arquette on Dancing With the Stars.
The actor, 40, was shockingly eliminated on Tuesday night's show.
Earning a total of 24 points, Arquette’s performance with pro partner Kym Johnson received impressive reviews from the judges. Judge Len Goodman told Arquette, he “turned himself into a dancer,” and Carrie Ann Inaba told the actor his improvement was “phenomenal”.

Arquette’s elimination was an unexpected post-Halloween twist, considering it was TV commentator Nancy Grace who received the lowest score Monday night. Dancing the Jive with pro partner Tristan MacManus, Grace, 52, earned only 21 points. She also earned less than stellar reviews from the judges, as all three commented on her messy footwork. Judge Bruno Tonioli even declaed, “Nancy my darling, I think the devil got you. Your shoes are too small!”
“This whole thing has been incredible,” Arquette said after learning of his elimination. “But there must be a mistake!” he joked.

“I came here to get to know more about myself, face my fears, and have America get to know more about myself, and dance,” he added of his seven-week-long run with the show.
So what did dancing teach him about himself? “Self worth, a pride in standing up for myself, sort of opening myself up. D.W.T.S. was an experience of a lifetime and it’s something everyone should challenge themselves with because you learn a lot about yourself,” insisted Arquette, who weathered a separation from wife Courteney Cox and a subsequent breakdown late last year.

Tell Us What You Think
15I love JR and company and Chaz.. they have really shined in performances
I'm done with the show
Wow! I'm so sad. I've been voting for him and JR. When David first got on the show I seriously thought he would be one of the first to go. He surprised me, he has been growing every show. If this was just strictly a dancing vote he would be there and not Hope and Nancy.
the show is getting too tensed now!! but i love watching it!
I wonder for how long are we going to be forced to watch Nancy Grace? It is not even funny any more. So sorry to see David go,he is so cute and much,much better dancer.
because nancy has legions of fans, like me
I like David.... I think Nancy should have gone... She is not entertaining to watch... And wutsnwith max anger? Yikes!
Oh man. Kinda really pissed now. Nancy is a terrible dancer!
WHAT IS KEEPING NANCY GRACE ON DWTS. THAT WOMAN IS AS GRACEFUL AS A RHINO! WHERE IS THE FIX ON THIS SHOW?
Large sing'les need to be loved too and everyone needs someone special, somebody very close with whom it is possible to everyday life, the high and low, with the same goals, or simply to find happy long lasting relationships. It is really possible on dating site *_ConnectBBW._C/0m_ to find love and be beloved!
Wrong decision. David should have stayed he was fun to watch, while Nancy was not!
Attacking someones weight or looks has nothing to do with the dancing. Nancy had abad night but she improved each week from week to week, David was fair. Tough call I think.
Miss Piggy should have gone home. Her dance last night was pathetic!
WHOA. wtf.
I think this choice was right. Nancy, after all did have the best dance last week, a huge improvement.
