Derek Hough Claims New Dancing With The Stars Voting System Is Crazy As Elizabeth Berkley Is Eliminated

Dancing With The Stars professional dancer Derek Hough has branded the voting system on this year's show as "crazy" following the shock elimination of Saved By The Bell actress Elizabeth Berkley.

Despite Elizabeth being a hit with the audience and judges - having scored a ten for her performance - the actress still found herself waving goodbye to her fellow celebrities and to the competition.

Speaking of her exit with her professional dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy, Elizabeth said: "Honestly I'm beyond grateful for this, it was one of the biggest gifts and blessings in my life and I want to thank everyone especially Val [Chmerkovskiy]."

Whilst Elizabeth may have been grateful for her time on the show, Hough who is partnered with Glee star Amber Riley on the show, aired his thoughts about the shocking exits of not only Elizabeth but of Christina Milian, to E! News, saying:

"[Elizabeth] did an amazing job tonight, and was praised for being just such an amazing dancer but I think this season has been the most shocking eliminations, there have been several.

"I think it's the new system that the votes from last week count for this week and it makes it more unpredictable and it's crazy."

He added: "She is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. When you see her she just give you love and energy and like she said is just a pure light so I'm sad to see her go."

Meanwhile, Amber also revealed that she's going to miss Elizabeth telling the entertainment news site: "She's just such a great person to talk to like if you get frustrated she always has something positive to say is a great hugger. She's a light in rehearsal and I really really really love her."

Whilst Elizabeth has yet to tweet about her exit, Val thanked his fans for their support on his Twitter page last night when he wrote: "Good looks to all the fans and everybody that supported @ElizBerkley and me. I really appreciate it."

He added: "Thank you to @DancingABC for the opportunity to do my thing, again. Most importantly standing ovation to the the most beautiful girl in the room. The stunning @ElizBerkley 👏 pure heart with a smoking body."
