Tyler Cameron's spirits are up following his controversial walk-off on "Dancing with the Stars."
"The Bachelor" alum, 33, reflected on his run on the ABC reality competition series, which ended on the Oct. 27 episode, when he notably stormed off camera after receiving low scores earlier in the night.
"I wish I was there," he told US Weekly on Wednesday, Nov. 11. "It's bittersweet."
The Florida native said he is happy to be home with his fiancée, Tate Madden, as they "start living our life again" but said that his time on the show "was one of the greatest thrills of my life."
"The grind they’re going through right now – I still feel it because my feet never hurt before, and I wake up out of bed and I feel like I’m walking on glass. Like, it kills
me," Cameron said. "And I just imagine what they’re doing right now. They’re still going through that, so they’re in the gauntlet right now."
The couple, who got engaged in August, also addressed their memorable pregnancy reveal on the Oct. 20 episode, which Madden said they were grateful for: "We always make the joke that our other kids are going to be really upset because I don’t think they’re quite going to get anything as extravagant as this first baby."
"We’ll have that forever, which is the most beautiful thing. And it is truly just, like, the greatest gift," Cameron added.
Why Tyler Cameron walked off following 'DWTS' elimination
Cameron addressed his heavily scrutinized walk-off, which some fans deemed unprofessional.
"This has been a once-in-a-lifetime incredible experience, and I mean it from my heart," Cameron said in an Oct. 27 TikTok video with pro partner Sharna Burgess. "I am just so grateful for everything, for you, for what this has meant to me, for everything. And I also want to say, too, y'all saw a real human moment out of me. Not my proudest moment when I was upstairs getting my scores."
He explained that he thought they were done filming, and that he needed to step away.
"I was disappointed in myself. I thought it was boom or bust at that point, where we had to have a great score, or we were out of this competition, and it was bust in my head, and I felt like I let myself down. More importantly, I thought I let Sharna down, and it was hard," he said.
He continued: "This show's a pressure cooker, and all I wanted to do was score well and crush it and move on to the next week, because this has been the most incredible experience. It didn't happen that way, and I was upset. But I can step back now, an hour removed from it all, and just be so happy with how everything went."
Tyler Cameron reveals his 'DWTS' winner predictions
Now that he's out of the competition, Cameron said it's hard to predict who will take home the mirrorball trophy on finale night.
However, he told Us Weekly that Ezra French, partnered with pro dancer Daniella Karagach, was always his No. 1 and "the guy to beat," but comedian Connor Wood's improvement with pro partner Kym Johnson has surprised him.
"He’s improving, but also his fan base is just getting crazier and crazier and crazier, and I think he’s just getting bigger and bigger, so I think he has a shot," Cameron said.
"Dancing with the Stars" airs on ABC and streams on Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET, with the Season 35 finale slated for Nov. 24.
