'Dancing With the Stars' sends home second star of Season 23 -- Find out who got eliminated!

*Caution: Spoilers ahead!*

Season 23 of Dancing With the Starstrimmed down the field of contestants on Tuesday during their second two-hour results special, and said goodbye to one star who'd struggled to improve their scores throughout the first three weeks of competition.

After avoiding elimination last week, former Texas governor Rick Perry couldn't avoid the inevitable any longer.

The 66-year-old politician and his partner, Emma Slater, were voted off after three weeks of consistently earning the lowest scores from the judges.

After a fast-paced, hour-long ballroom night on Monday that saw all 12 couples face off in a series of rapid-fire dance-off showcases, six stars found themselves in jeopardy when Tuesday's results show kicked off. However, three of those six found out they were safe throughout the night before the final three faced elimination.

The other couples who found themselves on the chopping block on Tuesday were Terra Jole and her partner, Sasha Farber, as well as Amber Rose and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Former DWTS pro Kym Johnson Herjavec co-hosted the show with Tom Bergeron as Erin Andrews had to take the week off to be with her boyfriend, Jarett Stoll, whose nephew recently died.

While the results special was primarily recaps of the previous night's dances, it did give the stars and viewers the chance to hear some behind-the-scenes comments and feedback from the judges that wasn't heard during Monday's show due to the one-hour time constraint.
