Steve-O is used to taking falls, but this one had to hurt a little more than the others.

The Jackass prankster was eliminated from this season'sDancing With the Stars competition Tuesday night.

"I met a lot of challenges, I made a lot of mistakes, the fans kept me around enough to learn from it all," Steve-O told the audience.

With a score of just 16 for their Rhumba performance this week, it was almost inivitable that Steve-O and dancing partner Lacey Schwimmer would get the boot.

"It's been awesome. It's forced me to really grow as a person - for that, I'm super grateful... Everyone, thank you so much," Steve said.

Seven celebrities remain in the competition: Rapper Lil Kim, rodeo champ Ty Murray, former football star Lawrence Taylor, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, country singer Chuck Wicks, "Bachelor" star Melissa Rycroft and actor Gilles Marini.
