LOS ANGELES — It took Florence Henderson 11 seasons to join "Dancing With the Stars," and now the TV icon has done her last tango.

The 76-year-old actress was dismissed from the hit ABC show Tuesday.

Henderson and her professional partner earned their highest score of the season on Monday's episode, when they performed a tango to "The Brady Bunch" theme. But apparently viewers failed to keep them afloat.

Viewer votes are combined with judges' scores to determine which celebrity is ousted each week.

David Hasselhoff, Michael Bolton, Margaret Cho and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino were eliminated on previous episodes.

The remaining contestants are actors Kyle Massey and Jennifer Grey, athletes Rick Fox and Kurt Warner, reality star Audrina Patridge, and Bristol Palin.

He also said he thought the judges' scores were unfair.

I never heard of the guy before the show. What little I did see of his interviews is that he is so full of himself, he could clone. Him and Bolton can sing a wah wah wahhhhh duet.

    He did a very good job for him..... All of the contestants put their heart into this, and they try very hard. Don't forget that you can have no clue of how difficult it is to be a contestant in DWTS. This season I was so excited about Jennifer Grey being on the show!! I love her, and hope this is the restart of seeing more of her in movies, TV, and whatever else she wishes to pursue... Other favorite of course of past seasons is Miss Kelly Osbourne....

      I thought he did just fine and obviously was trying his heart out. Why they went down on him so badly I don't know. One cannot expect someone who is not a dancer or ever had any dancing background to be extraordinary or perfect. Judging should be more on improvement. I think an improvement score should be added in to the scores to reflect determination and hard work. I thought Bristol's dance was great. She did not do any really tough moves, but I think getting into character was such a challenge that to try and accomplish both at once was a little much. Her dancing I thought was smooth and beautiful. I hope she hangs in there.
