Kirstie Alley and Gilles Marini gave it their best shot, but on Tuesday's episode of Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars, both celebs and their pro partners were eliminated.

Melissa Rycroft was in the lead after scoring 99 points with her partner Tony Dovolani, and Kirstie and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, were in last place with a total of 79 points, so her elimination wasn't a total shock. Alley said it was an "honor" to be asked back on the show, adding, "It was very special to me. I wanted to thank Maks because he's so patient with me."

Marini and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd, were next to go, and after hearing his name called, the soap star said, "In the end, it's just an incredible experience ... I tried my very best. I want to thank my wife ... without her, I'm really nothing." We bet she's happy to have him back!
