Did Kate Gosselin Survive Dancing?

Despite low scores from the judges and criticism from her own dance partner, Kate Gosselin escaped elimination Tuesday night from Dancing With the Stars.

Instead, Shannen Doherty got the boot even though she and partner Mark Ballas performed a crowd-pleasing Jive as a show opener Monday.

“Dancing has never been my thing,” says the Charmed star. “It’s fitting. My partner is hurt, and I wouldn’t want to go on without him.”

Had Doherty not been bounced, Ballas was going to have to take a six-week break because of a serious leg injury.

Although Gosselin survived, the reality TV star, 35, has her work cut out for her. The mom of eight sparred with partner Tony Dovolani over his teaching methods during rehearsals Monday, with the dance pro so frustrated he threatened to quit.

They patched things up just in time to perform a Jive that judge Bruno Tonioli labeled “a disaster.”

Also getting to dance another round was 80-year-old Buzz Aldrin. The former astronaut and partner Ashly Costa landed at the bottom of the scoring pile Monday despite a warm audience response to their foxtrot.

Reality TV Stars Kate Gosselin & Jake Pavelka to Compete on Dancing with the Stars

Not only did America see Dallas pilot Jake Pavelka make a final decision on Monday night’s Bachelor season finale, but it was revealed that he and ten other celebrities — including Shannen Doherty and Pamela Anderson — have signed on to compete on season 10 of Dancing with the Stars.

“It’s fitting that in our landmark tenth season we’ve got many of the stars we’ve been chasing since season one to agree to take part,” Dancing executive producer Conrad Green said. “This has the potential to be the most memorable cast we’ve ever had.”

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, reality star Kate Gosselin, Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek, and actresses Doherty and Anderson highlight the eclectic cast. Also readying to boogie in the ballroom are Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, soap star Aiden Turner, NFL star Chad Ochocinco, ESPN’s Erin Andrews, and actress-comedian Niecy Nash.
