'Dancing With the Stars' Kate Gosselin needs 'a postmortem, not a critique'
"Dancing With the Stars" Movie Night didn't have a happy ending for Kate Gosselin.The mom of eight might have gotten praise for her tango last week, but it was straight 5's and all thumbs down from the judges on Monday (April 19). Dancing to "Don't Forget about Me" ("Breakfast Club"), Gosselin's foxtrot was more like a foxwalk.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba tries to sugarcoat it for Gosselin by noting, "There is some kind of grace that's developing" (cut to a Bruno eyebrow-raising "what is she talking about?" look), and then she makes some kind of dubious analogy to a Charlie Brown's wah-wah-wah sound effect.
The usually harsh Len Goodman even surprisingly takes it a little easy on the reality TV mom (actually it's not all that surprising -- the last thing "DWTS" wants is to see the ratings-gold Gosselin leave their show). Goodman acknowledges that it was "neat and precise," but adds, "It wasn't really a dance, it was a stroll."
But leave it to the fiery Italian to tell it like it is. Bruno Tonioli starts off with one of his ever amusing quotable comparisons about partner Tony Dovolani having to deal with Gosselin's less than lifelike energy level, but he spits it out faster than these fingers could type (if anyone caught it, please add it to the comments!). Tonioli goes on to say, "Last week I thought something has happened, and now it's all gone back." Then just in case we hadn't caught the first slam about her low energy level, he adds, "What you need is a postmortem, not a critique." Tonioli left no criticism unturned.
Tom Bergeron pipes in, "Don't hold back, Bruno. Tell us what you really think."
When Brooke Burke does her "celebritorium" post-performance interview, Gosselin blames her slow motion foxwalk on "a nice visit from eight little friends," where she says she spent a lot of her energy. She also makes sure to add how much her kids look forward to Mondays ("They count down the days," she says) -- you know, just in case there's any confusion over whether her ex's accusations of her being a sub-par absentee mom have any merit.
And of course one more Bergeron comment to wrap it all up. "This update: Eight little friends just stripped Bruno's car."

I hope Tony is getting hazard pay :( Bless his heart.
OMG I think it's ridiculous that the public keeps votng for her to come back every week. It obivious she can't dance and has a you owe me attitude. Poor Tony has to put up with such a B---h!!!! you can tell by his non-verbals that he can hardly tolerate her. She thinks she is the only mother in the world that has to work, if she would spend less money in putting hair extension in she would not have to work as hard. All the foolish things she does with her money like putting a dance studio in her house again more money wasted. I'd like to have the money that she throws away, but again poor me I have to work because of the kids, I don't see the kids gaining from this she should really worry about the kids instead of acting I think the kids would benefit from more time with there father. Again POOR TONY I LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU TREATMENT SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR TONY AFTER THIS GIG.
I don't think the public is voting her back week after week. Her dance was a JOKE again this week. ABC is rigging the votes. There is no other reasonable explanation for why a woman with ZERO dancing talent has remained on this show and to call it any other thing is an insult to the other moms of the world who don't make $50G's a week for doing nothing.
this crazy dame is as bad as sarah palin,she needs to be home taking care of those kids of hers just as palin shoud be home taking care of trig,but that dame is just trying to get sympathy votes,come on moms open your eyes,she is not the only one in the world that has been left with kids.
the only good thing about kate gosslin are her kids,she has the personality of a house fly and the i.q. of a can of paint.why or rather how can you let this sarah palin look-a-like stay on week after week?i turn it off when she appears or if i get a hint of her being on anything,she has exploited her position as a mother enough.ICK!

Kate has the worst attitude. She is grumpy and is rude to Tony all the time. She doesn't listen to him and seems to have a "holier than thou" attitude. Also, it's one thing to not be able to dance, after all, that's what the show is about, but she doesn't seem to CARE, she doesn't seem to TRY, and she just coasts along looking for more "poor little Kate" columns. I don't understand how Aiden could of been voted out over her last week. Kate DOES NOT EVEN TRY - and if she does try, it's MINIMAL and disrespectful to the show, to the audience, to the people at home watching, to the other contestants who really do try. Kate is a zero in my book. A woman who starves for attention she'll take it any way she can get it. Stupid really, because, DWTS would of been a great way for her to gather positive publicity instead of the usual mixed bag of negative tricks. She blew her chance to redeem her black, ugly heart. Her heart is uglier than ever now and she should be ashamed of herself. All I can say is POOR TONY, and YES, he should be GETTING A BIG FAT BONUS.
What i am waiting for is the day that it all falls apart for Kate. Everyone who is within 100 feet of her has to sign a contract saying they wont talk about her, except to lie and say "she is a joy to be with". When those agreements expire, that will be when we get to hear about the "real Kate Gosselin". I for one, cannot wait for her house of cards to fall in on her. What I fear, however, is the kids having to live and deal with Kate after no show wants anything to do with her. If you think things are bad with her attitude now, just wait until she loses all the "stardom" she has. Get the hospital ready... and know that she will not be coming to work there, but to live in a padded room!
Yes, this is all so sad. We lose good dancers every week & keep KATE!! Can you imagine how those who get "voted" off FEEL, seeing Kate stay? This is rigged or has become a JOKE or SOMETHING!!! But WHAT?
Kate STFU!! Quit playing the exhausted frumpy mom-card. Niecy Nash has 3 kids and works full time on 2 other TV shows 10-12 hours a day before practicing another 5-6 for DWTS. You don't her her moaning and complaining do you? Go home hag and take care of the spawn that keeps your bank acct in the black.
