Sasha Pieterse’s time on Dancing with the Stars has come to an end! Despite getting her best score for the second week in a row for a Little Mermaid-inspired rumba, it wasn’t enough to save the former Pretty Little Liars star. Although Sasha won’t be competing for the mirrorball trophy anymore, being on the show still had its rewards. Sasha revealed she lost 37 pounds during her time on the show, helping her bounce back from a 70-pound weight gain caused by a hormone condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (POS).

“It was incredible. I knew that it was going to be amazing, but it totally blew my expectations away,” Sasha said of her time on the show.
“I have had such an incredible time and I love everybody here, so obviously this is a very sad moment for me, but I’m just so thankful,” she continued.
In rehearsals, Sasha admitted she was nervous going into Monday night’s show. “Right now we’re kind of in the middle of the pack. It really scares me because everyone is so good,” she said.

Still, it seemed like her performance would be enough to keep her safe! The judges were full of praise for her and her partner Gleb Savchenko’s Little Mermaid-inspire rumba, which judge Carrie Ann Inaba said left her “mesmerized.”
However, Sasha still ended up in the final two with Frankie Muniz and was ultimately booted off the show but was still a good sport. “I’ve had an amazing experience and I’m so happy that I got to share my story,” Sasha said, referencing her diagnosis with POS.
