Barry Williams sure knows how to grin and bare it.

On Tuesday night's episode of Dancing With the Stars, he and partner Peta Murgatroyd came out victorious in their dance-off versus Jason Mraz and Daniella Karagach when the pairs faced off in a salsa to Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right but It's Okay" that ended with the Brady Bunch star ripping open his shirt.

The battle might've seemed like a gimme for Mraz, given the singer's generally stronger showings, but Williams' showmanship earned him the victory. He clenched the win particularly with a moment that had the crowd erupting with shrieks of delight as he tore open his hot pink shirt to complete his dance with his chest fully exposed. Williams also mugged for the camera with plenty of sweeping arms and fancy footwork.

The beloved sitcom star said his strategy for the night was to "Give it all, leave it all on the floor, and have a great time," and he delivered.

While Mraz and Karagach were tops in their technique, the love for Williams in the ballroom was undeniable. When the dance concluded, the entire crowd was chanting "Barry" and the judges could not deny how entertaining the performances was, admitting it was going to be a very difficult decision to choose a winner (while Bruno Tonioli referenced stripping musical The Full Monty).

With judge Carrie Ann Inaba seemingly making up her mind at the last minute, Williams and Murgatroyd were declared the battle's champs — and that ignited a fresh round of uproarious applause and cheers for the Brady Bunch star. He obliged by ripping his shirt all the way off.

The victory earned them three extra points, bringing their total score for the night to 35. But it just wasn't enough to save them from a heartbreaking elimination at the end of the episode.

Although Williams is out early than he hoped, he did achieve one major goal he set for himself. He exits Dancing With the Stars as the Brady Bunch cast member to make it furthest on the show, beating TV sister Maureen McCormick out by a week.

Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
