Kate Gosselin Escapes Elimination On “Dancing” As Buzz Aldrin Is Sent Packing

For the third week in a row, Kate Gosselin and her partner Tony Dovolani avoided the guillotine on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. The couple survived the Bottom Two after turning in a giggle-inducing paso doble to Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” on last night’s show. The Bottom Three at the end of Tuesday night’s Results Show looked like this: Buzz Aldrin, former Bachelor Jake Pavelka, and Kate.

Ultimately it was the beloved American hero who got the boot. America said goodbye to Aldrin, legendary spaceman, and his partner Ashly Costa. Aldrin, now in his early ’80s, took the news in stride, saying he was glad to have been on the show to put a focus on the space program.

“I’m interested also in having the public be thankful for the great success we had in the Apollo program and look forward to even greater successes in our future space program,” he said. “That’s why I came on board — to take the challenge and take the risk and I thank everyone who voted for us.”
