'Dancing with the Stars' makes surprising elimination before finals. Who made the cut?

"Dancing With the Stars" is heading into its Season 34 finale, and one star won't be coming with.

After the ballroom was doused in purple in a night celebrating the late music icon Prince, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Whitney Leavitt, with professional partner Mark Ballas, was eliminated.

Leavitt, 32, and Ballas, 39, performed a fun and flirtatious cha cha routine to Prince's "1999" and a romantic Viennese waltz to "Slow Love." But despite having among the top scores throughout the season – including over remaining contestants Dylan Efron, Elaine Hendrix and Jordan Chiles – the sleek performances weren't enough to not get sent home.

Leavitt told "Good Morning America" in a clip that she didn't think she would "make it this far," and while Ballas would continue to assure her, he said, "Sometimes you get gut feelings."
