LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Ryan Lochte and Cheryl Burke were the latest couple eliminated from Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars in Los Angeles Monday night.

"I learned a lot about myself; that no matter how hard I get knocked down, I can keep fighting. This family, I love it. I'm sad that I'm going home, but everyone here has touched me in that special place right here," the Olympic swimmer said, patting his heart.
