First one out the door

Conner Leavitt from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives became the first celebrity eliminated from Dancing With the Stars this season.

Dancing is harder than it looks

Conner felt vulnerable after his performance and was disappointed by the result. He emphasized that dancing is genuinely difficult.

“We left it out on the dance floor. Dancing's hard. For anyone who doesn't know, dancing's hard.”

Grateful despite the outcome

Despite being eliminated first, Conner said he was thrilled to be part of the cast and praised his dance partner.

“I could not be more thrilled to be part of such a wonderful cast, and have such a wonderful dance partner.”

Partner Adele's perspective

Pro dancer Adele Zaikman called the experience a dream come true and said Conner was the best first partner, though she felt competitive disappointment.

“He's the best first partner; I loved working with him.”

No voting conspiracy here

Conner, a mathematician by trade, doesn't believe online voting issues affected his elimination. He thinks everyone deserved to be there.

“I don't think there was any unfairness involved; everyone deserved to be here, it's just a bummer that we had to go first.”
