Kate Gosselin might be excited about her return to the 'Dancing With the Stars' finale on May 24 and 25, however, other cast members are not so thrilled. Insiders, who know the ropes behind the hit competition, tell me that while Kate's return will likely bring in monster ratings, it is also bringing sneers and jeers from other competitors, who didn't exactly get along swimmingly with the octomom."Everyone, especially Kate's old dancing partner Tony, are dreading the return of Gosselin to the dance floor," one insider told me. "Kate comes with a lot of drama. She's the only celebrity who insisted on having a bodyguard with her at all times and put the costume department through hell each week. She tortured Tony and you don't even want to know what she put the show's hairdressers through! The day Kate was voted off, everyone was celebrating backstage. It's been a lot less toxic without her."
However, one group that is looking forward to Kate returning is the bigwigs at ABC, who only care about that Kate is ratings gold.
I'm not sure if it's good Kate or bad Kate that's going to show up next week, but I can tell you this -- no matter which Kate it is, we are ALL going to be watching.

Can she dance NO can she parent NO she can be an obnoxious no it all diva who is a "tad" lol narcisistic. Will my family watch NO
Can she dance? Nope.
Can she supersize ratings? Absolutely proven. She's one freak show America loves to watch.
We are NOT ALL going to be watching. Bite your tongue for thinking that I'm going to watch that on TV ever again. Can her 15 mins be over PLEASE!!!!!
Oh, damn, I thought everybody tuned in to DWTS because of Tom "The Tool" Bergeron.
I love DWTS. I watch it every season. I was hoping that Kate would get booted after her first dance.
She was terrible. Not only with her dancing but her attitude also.
BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash......BRAINWASH......brainwash
The only reason most people want to see Kate is to hopefully see a train wreck..the women is a disgusting self centered Diva...I hate to use the word Diva because its insulting to all the true Diva's of the world...LOL I will watch Kate to have someone to really laugh at
Can she dance? Yes, better than anyone here most likely. Is she a pro no.. she was not a trained dancer for the past 20 years like the finalists.. duh
She is an AWESOME mom. Hands down, no doubt about it.
Right on 'kr', screw the haters!!!!!!!!!!!
A female dog,by any other name,is still a female dog.
No, she can't dance, can't get along with ANYONE, can't see herself for the shrike that she is and can't get me to watch on the 24th and 25th no matter who else dances, too. What a sad sellout by your execs....apparently they want a cool show to look like a ratings train wreck to the faithful who have watched reasonably desirable celebs season after season.
She's a loser, a crackpot, and a terrible dancer, too!
I will not watch the show, Mrs Gosslin would be better off to tend to her children, instead of making a joke of herself, she cannot dance or pretty or nice,
AMERICA, DO NOT WATCH THIS EPISODE. THE SUITS WILL SEE THAT THE USA IS SICK OF THIS WANNABE AND SHE WILL GO AWAY.
NO!!! The only thing she can do is whine and feel sorry for herself. I cannot blame the husband for getting out. Those poor kids. Please DWTS don't bring her back that is misery for all watchers. I am a die hard DWTS fan and I beg you please do not bring her back on. I saw her in the audience Monday night and that was bad enough. Shouldn't she have been home with her children?
"we are ALL going to be watching."
Speak for yourself pinkboy.
Not good -- I was looking forward to watching the finals of DWTS ut not now!! I am so tired of Kate G -- bad attitude, bad dancer, mean-spirited -- the negative press she gets is because she creates it. I started watching when they finally booted her off. Guess I won't be watching the season final now because I can't stand her -- can she get a new personality?
I can't stand Kate Gosselin. I was totally thrilled when she was
voted off!!!!!!!

Just wrote a scathing e-mail to popeater and pleaded with them to stop enabling her and let her just fade away.
