DWTS Castmates Cheer on Kate Gosselin Despite Tantrum

Kate Gosselin's competitors on Dancing with the Stars aren't interested in kicking her while she's down.
After Gosselin's rough Monday night showing, some cast mates pledged their support.
"I always tell Evan, if something happens, you forget, you kick me in the face, whatever -- just keep going! So I was glad [Kate] kept going, I think everyone was," Evan Lysacek's partner Anna Trebunskaya told UsMagazine.com.

Prior to Gosselin's "I'm Still Standing," number, a tense rehearsal clip showed her partner Tony Dovolani threatening to quit. And during their disastrous performance, the 35-year-old mom missed steps, mouthed the counts and rolled her eyes, garnering a dismal 15 points and a "nightmare" grade from judge Bruno Tonioli.

"You're looking at a maybe one-minute package," Louis van Amstel, Neicy Nash's partner, told Us of the buzzed-about rehearsal video. "You don't know what happened before or after that. We want to support them and everyone no matter what."

Mark Ballas -- dancing with Shannen Doherty this season -- cheered Gosselin on as she and Dovolani floundered. "You can do it Kate!" Ballas shouted. "Come on Kate!"
Gosselin later defended herself to Entertainment Tonight. "The reality is, it is very, very tough. I am not a dancer...The fact that I didn't fall is truly amazing."

125I mean process.
Kate staying or not has nothing to do with the voting prosses, DWS decides. Voting is a joke on us.
WOW! ANGIE, What you said was so profound. TALENT is God given------FAME is man given------CONCEIT is self given------ Too bad there aren't more people in this world who have the insight that you do. I admire the way that you think.
I only WISH the mortgage company would take back her house! Then she'd be forced to purchase she can afford. God forbid, something a little smaller & more manageable. But can't you see her sitting in the bank office with her fake tears flowing? LOL Oh my, what WILL I do, says Kate? My EIGHT, count 'em EIGHT, children are going to be homeless? Noooooo, the State of PA should step and pay my mortgage b/c I had all these kids. I'm entitled to live in the biggest house I can get cuz I had a litter and the doctor made me do it by giving me that drug. There - maybe the doctor should pay my mortgage. Yeah, that's it! Somebody will pay, anybody but ME, Kate says.
I wish Shannon Doherty would KICK HER ASS!
"i just don't get it ?" " I just don't get it ?" EITHER DO WE...WHY ARE YOU STILL ON TV
She seems to have an abrasive personality. Hard to believe she was once a nurse. Aren't healthcare professionals or ex-healthcare professionals supposed to be calm, composed and caring in nature? Kate seems to be the exact opposite. Obviously she has issues. Maybe having 8 kids at a young age has contributed to her stress.
She can do a show about getting repo'd and finding a more sensible place to live.
This instructor has a family and kids of his own, and to accommodate her he flies to HER home to teach her to dance....and she berates him? It is abundantly clear that she lacks any social skills and is generally unappreciative of how others inconvenience themselves for her benefit....for this alone she does not deserve this opportunity.
I am truly a fan of Kates, however, her behavior is unacceptable. Yes, she does not know how to dance, we all can see that. However, she chose to be on the show. She has this "entitlement" attitude which is unbecoming. Will she win the show - NO!, but she can gain fans by showing she is a lady with manners and the ability to get along with people. If she cannot do this, she truly needs to go into counseling for the skills to do this.
Just goes to show you,she can't get along with anyone, Miss Know It All. Vote her off the show
Klutz!
Way to go Kate!!
I don't understand why they would include Buzz in the competition and humiliate him 'cause he can't dance like Nicole....seriously, do they really think Buzz and Kate can really compete with Nicole....so is this a competition or do these judges just enjoy humiliating people....I would like to see Carrie Ann raise 8 kids by herself and Len and Bruno walk on the moon. Let's see how well they score. What Carrie Ann did to Cloris Leachman was disgusting and remember there's Karma, payback is going to be a b@#ch!!
Way to go Kate!! You know you are a good Mom and that's all that matters...ignore those judgemental haters who are probably calling the kettle black.
There are some people on there that can't dance a lick and some that can. The xxxxxcat dolls girl should not be on there, she is a dancer, that is so unfair to the others.How can you compete with that? I also have alot of respect for Kate for trying.
Kate will go on any show, magazine, anywhere to make money and stay visible. She even said she can't dance and looks like a wooden puppet on the dance floor and courage has nothing to do with it. She is hungry for money period. I feel sorry for Tony to have to put up with her another week.
I saw the tape and I did not see any tantrum just some frustration like all the other dancers have had, because she was having trouble learning the steps. Kate haters I am so happy she did not go first just goes to show you she does have supporters. And did you all hear, she said her kids were with her sister...
I have a lot of respect for Kate even though a lot of people don't. It takes a lot of courage to be the most hated mother in the world to hold your head up high and fight for your life and the future for your kids. Jon is a terrible man and a selfish one too. To put his children in this position and act like he is the victim is beyond me. Kate is growing and she is doing it in front of all those people who hate her and love her. I know she isn't a dancer but she is a hard worker and I wish her much success and luck in the future.
sorry kate, you need to go home before you embarrass your children any more. sorry, no more 7,000 extension for you.
