The judges were gentle with her, but still picked apart her performance.

"You tried to get into character. There was this cheeky, charming feeling. There was a lot of cha cha cha there, but it just didn't fit to the music," said
Bruno Tonioli.

After receiving just 15 out of 30, Barton left the camera frame and was immediately wiping tears as Chigvintsev attempted to comfort her. Judges scores and the audience vote put the pair in the bottom three, however Geraldo Rivera and Edyta Sliwinska ended up being sent home.

Despite the emotional week, Barton said she was having "a blast" preparing for this week's dance in her exclusive PEOPLE blog.

Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays (8 p.m. ET) on ABC.
