The 100th Eliminated Couple on 'Dancing With the Stars' (VIDEO)

It's a landmark of sorts on 'Dancing With the Stars' (Tue., 8PM ET on ABC). Although not necessarily a happy one for two of the contestants on the show.

[Spoiler alert.]

Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke became the 100th couple to be eliminated in the history of the contest, as the series now moves on to the finals. Ochocinco expressed gratitude for all the time that he got to spend on the show, and said that he "enjoyed the journey." For her part, Cheryl said that Chad was "the most amazing, soft, gentle man in the world."

But when he was asked a question pertaining to rumors that he and Cheryl were dating, Chad suddenly decided to play deaf. "Say what?" he asked, while leaning toward host Brooke Burke. Chad would only say this: "We will remain friends." And so the mystery of the potential Chad/Cheryl relationship continues.
