She wasn't just tardy for the party, she missed the whole thing... so she got the boot!
Kim Zolciak was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars on Monday night after failing to participate in the competition following a mini-stroke she suffered last week. The reality star appeared via Skype on the live broadcast, and explained that her doctor didn't clear her to fly from Atlanta to Los Angeles, where the show is taped. Therefore, she was unable to make it and got kicked off due to the program's strict rules.
The blonde bombshell took to Twitter to express her disappointment over the decision. "I practiced for hours Saturday I was so excited to be there tonight!†she captioned a video with Dovolani. “I just needed a few more days and then I'm cleared to fly! #ImReallySad #ImStrong," she wrote on Instagram.
Her partner Tony Dovolani performed their scheduled routine with another pro, and her also took the opportunity to plead with fans to urge execs to reverse their decision. "I think the producers were fighting until the last minute to keep us in the competition. I want to continue so bad it's not even funny. That's why I put a tweet out there saying, 'Bring us back!' The producers want us back, I want to be back, Kim wants to be back — so the only people they needed to convince was the lawyers," he told Us Weekly.
She was the most entertaining cast member anyways, so maybe they should rethink things!
