Kate & Tony in happier segments!
To paraphrase a quote from the big ballsy musical "Chicago":
"She had it coming."
And, to many, it was obvious.
Yesterday morning, for instance, a disc jokey made the observation in a one-on-one interview with Ms. Gosselin - that the not-so-nimble cha cha gal - had lost her spark.
There was a pause, then Kate responded in total puzzlement.
"What do you mean?"
The DJ struggled for words.
"Well, you don't seem to be yourself today," he shrugged in so many words.
Of course, the rumors were running rampant, that Gosselin would be parting ways with her handsome upbeat partner (Tony) and bidding adieu to cast & crew alike at "Dancing with the Stars".
Gosselin - for once - was speechless.
Then, fate reared its ugly head last night, and Kate was suddenly faced with the bitter truth.
The perky show-biz novelty was shown the door.
Across the airwaves today, show biz reporters labelled the old heave-ho, one of the most shocking elimination segments of the season.
Did Kate feel betrayed?
Well, she should have seen the "dancing" on the wall.
Each week, the mother of eight managed to scrape by - in part due to a generous at-home audience - that saw her as a bit of mindless entertaining fodder to chew on.
But, even the appetite of die-hard-fans, was finally satiated.
Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood stood on the chopping block alongside Kate & Tony nervously as they awaited Bergeron's much-anticipated announcement.
The startling news was a shocker for Kate - so much so - that she had to take a moment to collect her thoughts.
"I need a minute," an emotional Kate told Tom and co-host Brooke Burke, before conceding the race.
Tony was quick on the uptake, handed Kate a much-needed tissue, and offered up a few choice words to soften the blow.
"You know what? I'm very proud of Kate. She gets a lot of criticism out there and it is difficult."
"I give her all the credit in the world for showing up. As exhausted as she was, she still showed up every single day," he quickly added without hesitation.
"As a teacher, I am very proud of you because I thought you danced beautifully. You showed America it doesn't matter how much things go against you, you still come out here and give it your best."
"My gut feelings are always right and it's OK," Kate finally blurted out.
"I had the opportunity. I'm very, very honored to have been here. I love everyone that I met. It was a great experience."
And, the high drama continues next week, with the remaining stalwart hold-outs.
I'm biting my nails, already!
See 'ya there!
The Show must go on!
