Reality star Teresa Giudice had her "Dancing With The Stars" run cut short early.

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star participated in the 31st season of the dance reality series, which premiered earlier in the month, thrilling fans with hot moves alongside her pro partner, Pasha Pashkov.

However, after finishing in the bottom two for two consecutive weeks, the pair were eliminated from the competition on Monday.

In the press conference after her elimination, Giudice shared that her experience on the show was one that would last a lifetime. She also disclosed that her exit was quickened because judge Len Goodman did not like her enough to save her from elimination.

On Monday, Giudice and Pashkov performed on "Dancing With The Stars," dancing to the tune of "All Shook Up" during the Elvis Presley-themed episode. Following their performance, the pair earned a score of 23/40, ranking them in the show's bottom two.

The pair were previously in the bottom two from the previous week. At the time, the judges saved them by voting to eliminate "Sex and the City" alum Jason Lewis, 51, and his dance companion Peta Murgatroyd, 36.

However, "#TeamPashibiliTRE" ran out of luck during this week's round and was voted out by judge Len Goodman who chose to keep actress Cheryl Ladd and her dance partner, Louis Van Amstel.

In the press conference after the end of her performance, Giudice joked about her elimination, saying that Goodman was not keen on keeping her.

Despite being eliminated, Giudice described that she enjoyed her run while it lasted, saying she was able to achieve her long life dreaming of dancing.

"It was an amazing experience. I had an amazing partner," she said per Page Six." Finally, my dream came true. I've always wanted to dance. I did two dances in front of a live audience, and it was pretty amazing. It was great."

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" continued by saying she was leaving without any regrets because she knew she wouldn't be named the Season 31 winner.

"I wanted to win the mirrorball … but you know what? There's a lot of amazing dancers on this show, so I knew I wasn't going to [win]," she confessed. "When I saw my competition, I'm like, 'I'm definitely not winning it.' But I tried!"

True to her word, the reality star gave the show her all during her appearance. She, however, failed to impress some of the judges due to flaws in her leg movement and other mistakes.

Still, Giudice believes that her late father Giacinto will be proud of her efforts on the show, a notion the reality star shared before she danced her piece on Monday night.

'He's no longer here with us. I wish he could be in the audience watching me because he'd be so proud. I can't wait to get into the ballroom because this dance is gonna be for him,' Teresa said per Daily Mail.

She also mentioned watching both "Dancing With The Stars" and Elvis with her late father, which seems to have brought on the overwhelming emotion she felt about her participation in the show.
