About Harry and Rylee's elimination

Harry, 26, and Rylee, 18, delivered a steamy, but still unimpressive according to some Dancing With the Stars viewers, performance to Taylor's hit single August during last week's episode.

They received high marks from the judges, getting sevens and eights all around, which only fueled fan fury.

In the end, it wasn't enough to save the YouTube star and his dance partner.

They were in the bottom three alongside Charity Lawson and Artem Chigvintsev and Alyson Hannigan.

Unfortunately for them, it was the end of the line.
