It was truly a night of ups and downs in the latest episode of 'Dancing With The Stars' season 19, as one of the most favored contestants was booted off.

Tommy Chong was eliminated, leaving four contestants aiming for the coveted DWTS Mirrorball trophy. Chong swayed and turned for his last two dances on Monday night, and expressed his gratitude to fans for helping him get this far in the competition.

"I love dancing. I loved learning all the dances. You can't name one dance where I would say I hated it. There's a lot of dances that were difficult, but the dance world is so special. If you look at the feet, you can't tell how old people are," said Chong, describing his experience in joining the famous celebrity-centric reality show.

Chong is the oldest contestant to ever join Dancing With The Stars, and the comedian truly proved that age is of no matter as long as one has a passion to move and go with the rhythm.

Meanwhile, Alfonso Ribeiro suffered a back injury during practice for his dance number for week 10. Ribeiro confirmed that he will be performing for the finals despite the said injury.

"We're in this to try and win it, so I will do what I have to do and I will deal with whatever I have to do with to try to win this, said Ribeiro in a report by Hollywood Reporter.
