Did it work for you?</i></p> <p><i><b>HILTON</b>: It definitely -- it was a very traumatic experience, but I feel like God does make everything happen for a reason. And it gave me, you know, a time-out in life to really find out what's important and what I want to do, figuring out who I am.

He was eliminated from ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday. </p> <p>Drexler and his professional partner, Elena Grinenko, earned a paltry 13 points out of 30 plus harsh words from the judges for their performance of the rumba. </p> <p>"You're the worst dancer in this competition," judge Carrie Ann Inaba said, "and tonight was really bad." </p> <p>Still, Drexler kept a smile on his face, graciously thanking the judges, his partner, his fellow contestants and the fans when he learned he was this week's celebrity casualty. </p> <p>"I want to thank the fans who voted and kept us in the competition," he said. "Lord knows they were keeping us in." </p> <p>Each week, judges' scores are combined with viewer votes to determine which couple will be eliminated. Drexler and Grinenko were among the lowest-scorers throughout this season's dance-off. </p> <p>Tuesday's results show also featured an appearance by "Dancing With the Stars" alumna Lisa Rinna, who gave a preview of her work in the Broadway musical "Chicago" with a sassy performance of "Roxie." </p> <p>Grammy-winner Macy Gray also performed, singing her new single, "Finally Made Me Happy," which she dedicated to the victims of the Virginia Tech shooting. </p> <p>Paulina Porizkova, Shandi Finnessey and Leeza Gibbons have already been eliminated.

For the first time, I think ever, Simon had some criticism for <b>Melinda Doolittle</b>, who seemed like she could do no wrong.

Simon was not impressed with Chris' vocal performance, but said it was a "good choice."<br> <br> <b>Blake Lewis</b> appeared to have the best performance of the night, with his rendition of Mark Anthony's "I Need to Know."
