Another week, another adios. Maybe it it could be chalked up to Chynna Phillip's drawing a blank on Monday night mid-dance but the 43 year-old singer and her partner, Tony Dovolani were told their ballroom stint is over. As the Wilson Phillips star was sent packing she talked to reporters and mentioned the experience was emotional and consisted of "a lot of late nights, a lot of early mornings, a lot of training, a lot of spray tanning."
Chynna told reporters, "It's all been very consuming and takes a toll on you sometimes so it'll be nice to stop and take a big, deep breath and catch my life back."

Based on Monday night's slip up, that caused her to worry about elimination night. "Last night I drew a blank. It's just one of those things. You're about to take a math test and you think you know every answer and all of the sudden you go blank."
She added, "It was one of those situations. I feel badly that it had to happen. He's is an amazing teacher and we worked really hard for that dance and unfortunately the whole thing just sort of unraveled."

How exactly did it unravel? Chynna mentioned there was a lot of waiting around down time before they hit the dance floor. That said, she added, "I really have to say that everything happens the way that it's supposed to happen and I'm really grateful to have had the opportunity to have been on the show that's all I can say and I really look forward to doing amazing things for the orphanage in Mexico that I am working with and if you want to learn more about it you can go to www.chynnaphillips.com."

She also mentioned what the future has in store. Chynna told reporters, "I'm just going to sort of explore my opportunities that sort of come my way and see what happens but right now I'm excited to get back to my babies and get back home and maybe sleep in a little (laughs)!"
Actually, another Wilson Phillips album is coming out in 2012. "Yeah, well we have a record that's coming out in April so we're looking forward to that. It's a Wilson Phillips album and it's called Dedicated and it's a tribute album to our parents. It's Mama's and Papa's and Beach Boys classics."
Although Chynna seemed very sad to be leaving, Tony sounded like they duo really bonded. On an upbeat note he added, "I hope this is not the end of the road. I really, truly feel like I gained two friends: Billy and her. I know they're going to stay in touch with me and I'm going to stay in touch with them."
