Kate Gosselin is looking like a favorite for first voted off on career graveyard reality show Dancing With the Stars this week.

The New York Daily News describes Kate’s “stiff and robotic movements” and “the frightened, frozen look on her face” as she apparently forgot most of her routine. Eventually, Kate’s dance partner Tony Dovolani tossed his mike and walked off due to Kate’s harping. He eventually returned, and Kate hugged him and thanked him, bitterly adding, “a lot of people quit on me in life.”

Apparently, the judges were about as impressed as Dovolani with Gosselin’s dancing skills:

Bruno called the performance a “nightmare” and suggested Gosselin take acting lessons in order to portray a character. Carrie Ann applauded her for making it all the way through the routine without giving up. Len said her nerves are breaking her and told her to “go out fighting.”

The first pair to get the ax will be revealed tonight at 8pm on ABC.

The sad saga of Jon and Kate Gosselin, their huge brood of kids and their messy divorce has finally been yanked from the TLC lineup.

The ordeal that began with the Gosselin’s fertility issues and ended with the Gosselin tots stuck in the middle as Kate cried and Jon romped with his plastic surgeon’s daughter in the South of France will no longer be a cash cow for the family of ten. The show was originally repackaged sans the disgraced and douchey dad of eight, as Kate Plus 8. Ratings tanked, and after Jon was slapped away from the TLC money teat, Jon had an “epiphany” after his public firing. He decided that if he couldn’t be on the show, his progeny couldn’t either.

As even fewer people would tune in for Kate, TLC just pulled the plug full stop. And as we’ve watched the family implode, the Gosselin’s marriage disintegrate and the kids witness their parents sniping at each other in the press and in person, what else is there to see? Kate says she relies on the show to support the legion Gosselings, and that her kids are bereft in the absence of film crews.

TLC plans to cobble together some remaining episodes from existing footage, but it looks like Kate’s on the road to being just another woman struggling with a whole mess of kids and an unemployed babydaddy.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 will have a new cast member when the show returns with new episodes in August: Jon Gosselin’s Girlfriend Deanna Hummel.

According to a source quoted in the NY Daily News, “Deanna’s role isn’t expected to be big, but because she’s part of Jon’s life, she’ll be filmed.” The show will also change direction, tracking how the soon to be divorced Jon and Kate balance their time with their kids.

Another source also told the paper that Kate is “taking some time to think about her life…She’s upset about what’s going on, but she and Jon will always be there for their children, and they’ll always come first on her list of priorities. But considering she’s in the middle of a divorce, Kate is quite upbeat.”

Good Morning America reports that Jon and Kate Gosselin’s “controversy is likely to boost attention and ratings for the couple’s TLC show” with the season opener just days away on May 25.

According to Good Morning America on the Jon and Kate affair:

One thing is for sure: The controversy is likely to boost attention and ratings for the couple’s TLC show. When season five premieres May 25, viewers will tune in to see if the Gosselins, parents of 8-year-old twin girls and 5-year-old sextuplets, address their offscreen troubles on the show.

The show is obviously taking advantage of the current publicity around the show’s cast. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times said that the first episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 was not yet completed because producers were still trying to figure out how to incorporate the latest tabloid headlines and buzz into the show.

“We are in production for season five and moving forward as planned, while fully supporting the family and respecting their needs as they work through this challenging time,” a TLC spokeswoman, Laurie Goldberg, said in a statement to ABCNews.com. “This show has always been about a real family dealing with real-life situations, and that will continue to be the case for the new season.”
