Kate Gosselin -- who consistently bombed during her five-week run on ABC's Dancing With the Stars -- says she had a hunch she and partner Tony Dolovani would be eliminated on Tuesday's show.
Despite being a fan fave, they had the lowest judges' score, 15, on Monday's show.
"I had a gut feeling and there was nothing making that gut feeling go away," the reality mom, 35, told Entertainment Tonight after getting the boot. "Everyone deserves to move on, and I had a good run and am really thankful for the opportunity."

Though she claims she is OK leaving, her eight children "will be upset, definitely," she said. "They will be shattered, in fact." She said she is not "letting them watch" her elimination episode, so "they'll be OK. They'll be glad to have me back. I'm thrilled to have been here and obviously going back to my kids is always a wonderful thing."

She echoed those sentiments later in the night on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying she was "not surprised" she got the boot.
Before the season began, she vowed to Kimmel that she was going "to win" the show. When he called her out for the remark after her elimination, she replied, "I always believe what I say ... but then, like, that dancing stuff started."
Added the mom, "To be very, very honest, if I didn't have, as Tony says, three other lives going on then I probably could've done better."
"It was a great adventure, it was a great ride," she said on ABC's Good Morning America Wednesday.
After getting voted off, "I was very upset," she said. "I wanted to learn more, do more. At the same time, I knew it was my day yesterday.

"Contrary to popular belief, I really enjoyed my time on Dancing With the Stars," she added. "Tony and I had a lot of fun ... We laughed a lot of times until we cried."
Despite several spats, Dolovani, 36, said he still managed to have "a lot of fun." He said he regretted quitting on her early in the show.
"That was probably about a five-second weak moment I had ... It's a great example for my kids to see that they shouldn't speak when they are angry," he said.
Gosselin said it was a moment where "the pressure was rising ... From that we went forward."

After the incident, she said she figured out how to "shut up and learn."
They said that moment doesn't sum up their journey together on the show.
"I am amazed I lasted halfway, and it is due to my fans and viewers who believed in us," she said. "I will take that with me always."
Tell Us What You Think
215As the mother of three healthy, well adjusted kids, I'd just like to say that I don't agree to withholding the viewing the episode where you are eliminated. I speak very truthfully with my kids. It is an important part of trust. Learning EARLY on in life that hard work produces success, but that success doesn't always mean WINNING is a GOOD lesson. You can use this in a very HEALTHY way.
I AM A FAT UGLY MISERABLE HAG. I HAVE NO ONE IN MY LIFE BUT MY OTHER KATE HATING HAGS. NO MAN WILL EVER WANT TO BE WITH ME. I JUST WRITE KATE HATE ALL DAY. I CRAP MY DEPENDS EVERY TIME A NEW STORY ABOUT KATE COMES OUT. I HANG OUT WITH THE OTHER UGLY FAT KATE HATING HAGS BECAUSE JUST WONDERING,,, LISA K ,,,THE BLOGGING LAWYER AND IRENE SMITH,,,,,,ARE SO GOOD AT LICKING MY NASTY OLD SPOILED SNATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY LOVE IT
hawg, not sure what you're speaking of. I slam KG all the time. If anyone wants to slam me, that's fine. Who cares? You all mean less than nothing to me & my life. However, when someone starts making bogus claims of what they can do, such as get ANYONE'S personal information, that's the part I find pretty funny. Puts me in a jovial mood b/c I know they're just blowing smoke out of their a@@ cuz they give themselves way too much credit. However, some folks may actually believe that someone can do this impossible feat. Shawn probably doesn't know his own address by heart let alone looking up posters on a blog.
Sandie I find it amusing when folks like you & your friends start getting back a little of what they have handed out. I'll check back & see if you all are still in a jovial mood then. ENJOY!
April 23, 2010 - 7:19am Shawn +++++++++++++ Anyone really know who this A@@hole is?! Just another delusional Kate fan who thinks he has access to "personal info". Funny stuff. I find it so amusing to watch posters go off the deep end thinking they have some sort of "power" over anyone else.
5:11 poster it was me with the tuna smell in my panties remember? I got it from Blog Hawg who got it from Mojito & so on & so forth.....One of us needs to get some medicine so we can quit spreading it all around our spice rack.
I've got so many alias I can't keep track of them all. When I was released last year I swore I'd never be locked up again. Keep posting all the private info you can find BlogHawg,Shawn & Mojito. I'm all for doing the devils dirty work.
Don't worry BlogHawg,you just keep doing what you're doing. I post all the personal info I can find & I don't care whos it is. Friend or foe same difference to me.
I know I'm a prick & I hang out with pricks & whatever happens I probably deserve. My kids have been taken from me & posting personal info gets me off.
So trolls does this mean due to your love of using a persons private info,that we can now tell the names & cities we know? What's good for you is good for us right?
The 5:11 poster seems to be going after 10 doll like always. Obsessed much there fruitcake? Now who could you really be? Shawn? BlogHawg? Patty Pie? Mojito?
All I know is we can't stand Sage or Kate Gosselin. Now if we tell her that she'll do to us what she's been getting everyone to do for her which is fight her battles for her.
I AM A FAT UGLY MISERABLE HAG. I HAVE NO ONE IN MY LIFE BUT MY OTHER KATE HATING HAGS. NO MAN WILL EVER WANT TO BE WITH ME. I JUST WRITE KATE HATE ALL DAY.

Kate is the only person who feels shattered, she just figured out NOT everyone loves her like she does
Kate must be frustrated. Her book sales are sinking faster than the Titanic. Her book is #339 on Amazon and #834 on Barnes and Noble. YEAH! No NYT Bestseller list for you, Kate.
The kids should be taken away. Kate is a MONSTER. She is a terrible horrible awful mother. She's like a demented energizer bunny. Doesn't this Bit.c.h. know when to quit?? Kate should have her own horror show.
What else is new? Kate's kids should be ashamed to have a mother like her. Fact of life Kate is a walking failure. She will never amount to anything.
We've got to go find our info & delete it before anyone sees it. I thought it would be fine to post our private info,but I'm seeing maybe that wasn't such a good idea.
I can't believe I left my private info wide open for anyone to see. I'm such a idiot!
I hope nobody comes across the skeletons in my closet! I've always been raunchy & I'm really perfecting this skill.
