Teuila: Dancing With the Stars will be 'boring' now

Scott Cole and Teuila Blakely have been eliminated from Dancing With the Stars.

Teuila Blakely says Dancing With the Stars will be a little more "boring" now she's been eliminated from the show.

Dressing up like X-Men characters didn't pay off for Blakely and her dance partner Scott Cole, who were eliminated last night after finding themselves in the bottom two with Ben Barrington and Krystal Stewart.

Blakely, who was also criticised last week for performing a hip-hop cha-cha to Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby, told Paul Henry this morning she stood by her controversial theme choices.

"If you go normal, it's boring," she said, adding that the show "wanted us to do that".

Blakely added: "We did what we did well, and we were never actually complimented for it."

Blakely said she was "gutted" to have been eliminated, and she was uninterested in the show's outcome.

"Now that we're not there, cause we were there to win, I suppose I don't really care who wins now."

After her elimination, Blakely said she was proud of her efforts on the show.

"It's been incredible. I have broken any kind of limits I had previously. It's been a really tough and incredible journey ... I really feel proud of myself - I really do," the former Shortland Street actress said.

This Sunday's episode is an '80s-themed special and will include two celebrities being eliminated.
