Tuesday’s “Dancing With the Stars” results show devoted extra airtime to hunky brothers Chmerkovskiy and declared surprising fan favorite Andy safe, so nearly everyone was a winner.

Except, of course, for D.L. Hughley. The comedian and his partner, Cheryl Burke, were sent home after placing in the bottom alongside boxer Victor Ortiz and Lindsay Arnold.

Even Tom Bergeron praised the comedian: “I know this has been a bit of a roller coaster, but I applaud how well you’ve handled the criticism, my friend,” he said. “Really.”
