A source tells Page Six that Zolciak, 37, was blindsided by Monday night’s decision forcing her to withdraw from the competition days after suffering a stroke. According to People, the reality star is well enough to dance and rehearse; however, her doctors are anxious for her to fly in Los Angeles, California.

Dovolani still performed a routine inspired by “I Dream of Jeanie” with pro Jenna Johnson in Zolciak-Biermann’s absence.

As of now, Kim is still on the process of recovery but still has a few girl power left, as she slammed TV host Wendy Williams for accusing her that she was just staging her health scare to gain more sympathy and advance in the dance competition. Bergeron reiterated that rules are rules, and that ABC’s legal team was laying down the law.

As far as the uncertainty goes, that refers to Kim Zolciak Biermann. “Although he is always dancing around the room lol he keeps me smiling!” she captioned a photo of the professional dancer before she was released from the hospital on Friday. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba called it “genius, innovative and well done”, and Alfonzo said it was “fantastic”, adding that “You and Mark can win; you and Carlos (her husband and competitor) cannot”.

“I practiced for hours Saturday I was so excited to be there tonight!” TMZ reported she was upset that the show would not use video from her practice sessions to score her this week as they did when Melissa Rycroft injured her neck in season 15. Williams insinuated that Zolciak made up the condition in order to get off Dancing with the Stars. Sound out in the comments below and let us know your thoughts! Tony feels like Kim did the right thing by worrying about her health first, but he is hopeful they will find a way back on the show and shared that the lawyers are the ones who need convincing. “On Tuesday night, when we were dancing, I was like, ‘Babe, you’re not yourself”. I’m just so glad she listened to the doctors. “I’m really happy for her that she’s taking care of herself, but I’m sad to be out of the competition”, he admitted, before adding, “She was showing signs of improvement!”
