Swimsuit model Joanna Krupa made her exit from "Dancing With the Stars" just one show short of the final dance-off for the disco-ball trophy, despite strong scores from the judges Tuesday night.

"Last night was pretty tough," Krupa told "Good Morning America" today. "I wasn't too shocked to find out I was leaving. I was competing against huge names. ... I was prepared for it, but I am bummed, I won't lie. I tried my best."
