A near miss. Cheryl Burke and partner Sam Champion almost went home on Dancing With the Stars this week, but the ballroom pro is keeping her head up.
“With this season in particular, there’s peace along with the whole elimination process,” the Dance Moms alum, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly after the Monday, October 3, episode. “Like, normally I’m a nervous, sweaty wreck, but with Sam, if I’m looking at the actual ability of all the celebrities?

The I Can Do That runner-up also pointed out that her partner has a bit more life experience under his belt than many of his fellow contestants. “Let’s not forget, he’s 61 years old,” Burke told Us. “This is a hard journey so far, but it’s been worth it. He’s learned a lot as well.”
