Jake T. Austin Reflects on Dancing With the Stars Exit: "I Wish I Could've Done Better"





Jake T. Austin has left the dance floor. The Wizards of Waverly Place and Fosters veteran was the first celebrity eliminated fromDancing With the Stars season 23 and he told E! News he's feeling "bittersweet." Hey, it's understandable.
"I wish I could've done better. I mean, there's mixed emotions. Overall I'm really lucky, I'm really happy," Austin told us after he was eliminated. "Just a little bummed out, other than that this was an awesome experience."
Austin and pro dance partner Jenna Johnson danced the jive to "Kiss You" by One Direction during their first week. They received a 22 out of 40. During the second week of performances, TV Night, they did the Cha-cha-cha to the Go, Diego, Go! theme song and scored a 24.

"This was my worst fear to be honest with you. When we were standing on that stage I was like, ‘Please don't let it be me.' And it happened. You prepare for the worst, hope for the best. It was the opportunity of a lifetime," Austin told us. "Learning from Jenna was an unforgettable experience and I mean that in every sense of the word. It was incredible."
Johnson said the two have a special bond thanks to being the same age. " It wasn't just showing up and having to do business, I feel like we speak the same language…and it was an awesome journey together," she said.
As for his biggest takeaway from the brief DWTS experience, Austin said, "It's not as easy as it looks. It's obviously a way to test yourself…I'm really happy I got out there and I did it.

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?"
