We taped it last night just to fast forward to the Kate/Tony part. My husband remarked that Kate "looked like one of the contestants from Toddlers and Tiaras" -- and you know what? He's right!!!!

Well there you go Yankee, you can either fast forward to get to Kate's performance, or fast forward right through it if you choose.

Kate didn't appear angry to me when she talked to Tony, she seemed frustrated. I think Tony was the one who overreacted. She said she needed a break for today or for right now or something. He countered with "I quit". She wasn't screaming or ranting. Right here at TVCH, there are posters who report that no matter what they do, they can't figure out how to post a picture. Why can't they understand the directions that have been explained over and over again? Probably because it's new to them, or maybe it just hasn't been explained in a way that they can understand. I've yet to see anyone be slammed for not understanding and needing another way to learn how to do it.

I've yet to see anyone be slammed for not understanding and needing another way to learn how to do it. I think it's just that Tony is the teacher, and we've seen how patient he's been with other celebs, we know he's a good teacher of students and a good teacher of teachers. Surely we can assume that he's at least tried to adapt as much as he can to Kate's personality? She might be something new to him and I'm guessing he's still trying to work out what he can do, but no way do I think he's just too stubbon or single minded to try other teaching methods with her. My bet is he's tried everything he knows, including her way and it just isn't working out. Tricky situation.

From Happymom's link, "When producers first showed the teaser clip of Dolovani quitting, Gosselin rolled her eyes and made a face at the screen. Cheryl Burke tried to give her a little reassuring pat on the arm." When Kate and Tony were done dancing, they flashed to the aquarium (whatever that room is called) and Cheryl Burke was the only one who looked like she was mocking them.

Other than money I can't think of one good reason why Kate would want to be on this show. I don't even think that psychologically it's a good idea for her. She needs live off camera for a while and tend to her children.

Even teachers need to be open minded enough to learn new things. One of those things is that you must have a huge arsenal of methods to accommodate various learning styles. Teachers can not give up on their students, IMO. And I'm sure both Tony and Kate are paid pretty well for their participation. Giving up isn't an option.

NYheat, I think that probably you're right, that Kate is on the show for the money. If Jon isn't bringing in some cash, it's all on her shoulders. She was recruited by DWTS and I'm sure the dangling carrot was a lot more than she could make selling baked goods down by the road.

It reminds me of that very funny (but sick) episode of South Park where Britney Spears is wandering around with most of her head removed, and all of her hangers-on keep insisting that she's fine and looks great. Kate your head is missing! :/

I don't think I saw that episode, but I'm a big SP fan. Rats. Nah, I think Kate knows exactly how poorly she's doing and her face reflects that. She is completely out of her element, but she has that carrot dangling and will keep going as long as she can.

From that article linked above: [His partner and] Dolovani didn't sit together throughout the show (unless they were on camera). Well, this says quite a bit, especially when coupled with the Access Hollywood video. I think the only way Tony will be able to tolerate his partnership is if he goes deaf and has spine removal surgery.

I missed most of the show and did not get to see the entire scene with Kate and Tony. I don't feel like taking the time to become a user of youtube just to see it. For some reason, I've been able to see other youtube videos over the years w/o signing up, but it won't let me see K&Ts rehearsal. I did see the dance though and she really did not do well. I am surprised that she has so many votes from the public. I was under the impression that she did not have many fans. I did watch the video of the interview where Tony walked away. So he may not like her. (I don't think there is any way to tell that from that interview.) That doesn't mean she is a witch. I saw a little of their rehearsal, just not whatever they showed before the commercial. I think they are both probably frustrated with the situation and he is probably frustrated with her. She is also probably frustrated with herself. It is a stressful situation for both. Doesn't mean she is a witch though. Re saying they are probably frustrated: of course, I'm just speculating since I don't know either of them personally and am not inside their brains.

It's strange that people are questioning Tony's ablity to teach. Why?, because Kate say's so....really? Kate now is the last word on how to teach dance? Give me a break. Maybe she needs to try harder, ever think of that, Kate?

Thank heavens teachers of the world don't blow children off when they have difficulties. I guess those kids just have to try harder.

I saw it the same way you did Happymom. I'll say it again I think she's very awkward in how she speaks and handles herself. She looks on the verge of tears alot, not the happiest person. For those reasons I wish all the tabloids and secret inside sources would find something or someone else to write about. It's established she's not a very popular person. But it's distracting from the show to me. I feel bad for Tony. I feel bad for her. I wish she had been able to get on another show where she could have fit in better. I'd probably suck on DWTS too. It's starting to get painful to watch and read about. The tabloids are like sharks looking for who's bleeding all the time with their stories and it's not kind or necessary to go on and on and on. Okay she sucks, I got it.

Thanks Mgm, that's what I've been trying to explain and haven't. We know Tony is a good, experienced teacher. He might not be perfect but I don't believe for one second he hasn't been adapting and adapting to try to do what will be best for Kate. I'm sure he's taught perfectionists before. I'm sure he's taught stubborn people before. He's a professional! She has to let go some of the control and listen and work with him not against him. Or fail miserably of course, that's another option.

<Thank heavens teachers of the world don't blow children off when they have difficulties. I guess those kids just have to try harder.> How many ways can you teach, "You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out, and you shake it all about" It's phy-si-cal. Why compare it to children with learning difficulties? Maybe Kate just has to try harder and quit complaining and blaming others. Oh, and I doubt she'll be reduced to "selling baked goods down by the road". She's an RN. They make good coin. And if she's as savvy as you say, she should go for her NP degree. She could make ample money to survive on then.

Several of the 'celebrities' got frustrated with their pros last night. Why only focus on Kate?

Kate is not a child in school. She's on a grown woman on a reality dancing show with a world renowned dance instructor who has a reputation of being a stellar person. He has been on many seasons of the DWTS and well liked. It's only when he's paired with a reality star that has a reputation of being extremely difficult has his teaching ever come into question. If logic comes to play I'd say it's logical that the pro teacher is doing his job and that the difficult diva like reality star is doing her job. No one should be surprised, everyone is living up to their reputations.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm focusing on poor Tony, who has always struck me as a gentleman and a true professional, not on his partner.
