DWTS' Joanna Krupa "Trying to Get Her Butt Back" After Elimination

Wednesday – November 18, 2009 – 9:13am

What's the first thing model Joanna Krupa will do now that she's been voted off Dancing With the Stars?

"She'll be eating a lot of hamburgers, trying to get her butt back," her partner Derek Hough told Usmagazine.com Tuesday shortly after the two were given the boot.

Said Krupa, 30: "I definitely worked my butt off -- literally -- and I'd like to get that back, but I love that I'm leaner and stronger."

They collected an impressive 81 out of 90 points for their performances on Monday's episode, landing them in second place during the semifinals. But fans ended up voting them off in the end. (Mya, Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond will be vying for the show's coveted mirrorball trophy next week.)

"It was a really tough competition being in the top four," Krupa told Us. "I came in as the underdog. I was competing against people with bigger fan bases, and I was just honored to be in the final four. I was competing against amazing dancers. To get to this level, I am blessed and happy to have this opportunity. It definitely exceeded my expectations, and you know, there are three other couples who were great and talented and had huge fan bases, so I knew anything could happen."

During her stint on the show, "I overcame a fear," Krupa said. "The first week I was so scared being on live TV. I mean, every week was hard being on a live show and you really don't get used to it, but the whole experience just made me a stronger person. I had such a blast working with Derek. I looked forward to my rehearsals every week. And I learned to dance! I mean, I might go out to clubs on the weekend and dance, but I never knew I could be a dancer and never thought I could dance like this! I really can't believe I pulled it off, made it to semi-finals. I'm very proud of myself."

She told Us that she's gotten some positive reception after taking it all off in December's Playboy.

"It's been an amazing reception especially from women - it's been really great," she told Us.

Hough said he'll definitely be checking out the issue.

"I'm going to get a glass of red wine and read the articles," he teased.

    Some of your playboy comments are ridiculous people....if you knew anything about Joanna you would know that she was already in Playboy( prolly 5 years ago) and she was and maybe still is the #1 swimsuit model in the world.....Look it up people!

    @ray If it was just a popularity contest, they wouldn't have to dance at all. It's supposed to be a dance competition for famous people. If you think it's not about dance, why do you mention the footwork? Anyway, footwork is just one part of the whole dance routine. The most important, especially in DWTS, is the overall impression, grace and performance. She was the best at that. She made mistakes because her dance was more difficult. Derek wanted the best out of her. Only Mya was a competition, but she lacked grace, she was good in some details (pro tap dancer), but much weaker in overall impression.

    One. It was always a popularity contest not a dance competition, these are celebrities not dancers. and two. Joanna was good for the average person, but she was not great and not any better than most of the other celebrities. Her feet were all over the place. It looked like derek was dragging her around the floor.
  • November 18, 2009 - 9:55pm Tor Says:

    They became the best couple in the show history. Paso Doble and Waltz are unbeatable... It's almost pro dancing. Len said that they have a hold of pro dancers. And that's only after a few weeks of practice.... The show has now become a joke... It's a popularity contest, not a dance competition... If Osmond goes as far... :)

    Joanna was voted off because yes, she is full of herself which was obvious all these weeks but the real issue is her skill of dancing. She does not not have the overall skill in all dances - many pauses in latin dancing, I could hardly stand to watch the full two-step dance. She did not demonstrate enough growth in dancing - just growth in publicity and a playboy offer. Derke is a genius choregrapher and dancer - he brought Joanna a long ways.
  • November 18, 2009 - 5:40pm Joanna should still be there Says:

    Joanna was the second best celebrity dancer on the show. She should have come in second place. Love kelly but she is rather stiff. Donny is just plain boring. Mya clearly is the best of them all. I thought she was one of the professional dancers on the show--she's that good.

    Hough is an excellent dancer but sooooo full of himself. Dump the ego, dude. Joanna had a great teacher but no fans. Not to mention, she really was not that good of a dancer. Such is life. Donny should have gone...the Osmond family is ANNOYING!

    She was a better dancer than Kelly and Donny; but she didn't have the fans; it seems she got into DWTS to get her name out there - now she will get into Playboy - most likely paid her big bucks. Do whatever you can to big in the dough. That's unfortunate that DWTS is really a popularity contest.

    Joanna was a wonderful dancer and seems like a sweet person.
  • November 18, 2009 - 1:44pm Team D-MYA Says:

    people didn't vote for her because she doesn't have a lot of fans. Donny and Kelly are really the ones to beat right now b/c of their fans. I am all for D-Mya but Kelly and Donny fans are keeping them in.
  • November 18, 2009 - 1:27pm carol Says:

    She lost because she was not likable. Her partner made her look good but she came across as snotty and into herself.
  • November 18, 2009 - 1:03pm ALE Says:

    Joanna should have advanced over Kelly and even Donny. People didn't vote for her because she posed in Playboy isn't true, they didn't vote for her because they aren't fans of hers.
  • November 18, 2009 - 1:02pm L.C. Says:

    The free style dance will decide it all, it often does. Mya is very controlling and it is not resonating well with the fans. She needs to lighten up on her partner, its such a turn off seeing how controlling she is being and her "win at all costs" attitude. Kelly and Donny are having way more fun and it shows, fans like that and they both will admit when they screw up. Mya is definately the better dancer but a lot of voters feel she has an advantage and they don't like it. It's still anyone's mirror ball trophy.
  • November 18, 2009 - 12:01pm Bummed too Says:

    I'm bummed too that Joanna and Derek were eliminated. They are so much fun to watch dance. Joanna was by far a better dancer (and entertainer) than Kelly (and Louie). But I definitely "get" why Kelly got more votes; she is more "every woman", flawed and more relatable than Joanna. I love that Kelly is improving but she's not the dancer that even Donnie is, much less Mya. Though I will say that Mya may get beat for the same reason Joanna did: lack of fan-base. Plus that woman, Mya, as hot as she is, has no chemistry or connection with Dmitri. You'd think that being an actor she'd be better at making a connection with him for the sake of the performance.

    Johnson5Mom, your Daughter is in love with a Hobbit? How cute!!!

    People didn't vote for her because she is going to be in Playboy next month, what a great example for young girls!

    My 9 year old daughter was so sad that Derek and Joanna got eliminated. She is totally in love with him...can you blame her!
