Nov. 8, 2011: Nancy Grace gets eliminated on "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday night in Los Angeles, Calif. (ABC)

The outspoken TV journalist Nancy Grace did not make it to the semi-Finals on Dancing With the Stars, and was sent Tuesday night.

Grace, 52, said with her head up high she was “so proud” of her and dance partner Tristan MacManus’ achievements on the show.

“I really cannot take the credit,” Grace said after being eliminated. “It’s been all Tristan from the get-go, the whole crew at ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ my family, who flew out here to take care of my twins so I could dance and all of you.”

Grace found herself in the bottom two with Rob Kardashian, who despite being a judge favorite on Monday and the week before, didn’t move viewers at home to vote for him.

Despite not making it to the last four couples standing, Grace added that she was so happy to have met new people.
