Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos have been booted from the ballroom.

The football player and TV personality were eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday. Irvin failed to capture enough viewer voted to keep him in the competition, while Dacascos lost his spot during a last-ditch dance-off.

Irvin on Monday earned his highest score of the season, 23 points out of 30, for his fox-trot with professional partner Anna Demidova.

Judges' scores are combined with viewer votes to determine which contestants are eliminated each week.

Dacascos collected a paltry 19 points for his misguided samba on Monday with a substitute partner after his usual pro, Lacey Schwimmer, fell to the flu. She was back for Tuesday's episode, but the couple's trick-filled cha-cha wasn't enough.
