Wow, one of this season's Dancing With the Stars eliminees is feeling pretty down on himself after getting the boot from ABC's hit reality dance competition! This internationally famous celebrity returned to the DWTS stages last night to help the show celebrate its milestone 200th episode, and the poor thing told us that his friends have really been judging him harshly since America cut him from Stars!

So which celeb feels like something of a sad sack post-DWTS?

Oh sweet, silly David Hasselhoff. The man is always spouting off one nonsensical thought after another, and backstage after last night's DWTS was no exception.

"People now say, 'What happened to you? You're a loser. You can't dance,' " he told us of life after Dancing. And yes, he was serious.

"It's unbelievable," The Hoff continued. "I used to be the Knight Rider, now I'm the loser."

Still, there's hope for him yet. "Maybe I'll try to come back for the finale," he said with that winning smile we all know and love.

One ex-DWTS guy who's not a loser (and knows it) is Jake Pavelka, who tells us he's still boogeying away. "I was wishing I could get out there [tonight]," he said, "I never stopped dancing. I've taken a couple private lessons from Anna Trebunskaya. It's fun!"

Do you agree with the Hoff's judgy friends? Are celebs who get voted off DWTS automatically "losers"? We think not, but let us know.
