Anyone could have gone home on Dancing With the Stars last night, but sadly, after the votes were counted, it was model Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough who said goodbye. But Joanna is just happy she made it to this season's semifinals. "From the beginning, I came in as the underdog. I was against people with bigger fan bases," she tells In Touch. "I was just honored to be in the final four. I exceeded my expectations." During what would be her last show, Joanna proved just how far she's come when she received 27 points for each of her three dances. "We leave on a high, with great scores and a beautiful dance. I'm not even sad," says her professional dancing partner, Derek.
