Jake Pavelka and fiancee Vienna Girardi didn't cope so well after the Bachelor star, 32, was booted off Dancing With the Stars Tuesday.
Before the elimination show even started, Pavelka — who had the lowest score Monday after stumbling during his samba — and Girardi, 23, huddled together, held hands and prayed.
But that didn't save him.
When his name was called, he and Girardi looked devastated. Pavelka mouthed to her, "It's OK."
After Pavelka cried his way through his farewell speech ("Thank you for keeping me here for six episodes," he mustered), he eventually made his way over to his fiancee, whom he called "beautiful" in his closing show remarks.
The two looked absolutely miserable, depressed and inconsolable as they hugged and chatted when the cameras went off. Deena Katz, the head producer/casting director, even walked over to comfort Pavelka.
"Well guys, I did everything I could," he Twittered. "Layed [sic] it all out there on the dance floor. I'm pretty bumbed [sic]… :("
Interestingly, Pavelka and his pro partner Chelsie Hightower parted ways immediately after cameras stopped rolling, hardly appearing as the best friends Pavelka has claimed they are. (But Hightower did get a "long" hug and "sweet kiss on the cheek" from beau Mark Ballas.)
A DWTS insider previously told UsMagazine.com that he has made her "cry." The source said, "She tries to help Jake, pointing out where he went wrong in rehearsal. But he feels Chelsie's picking on him."
Tell Us: Did Jake deserve to go?
