Kim Zolciak, who was partnered with pro Tony Dovolani, was forced with withdraw earlier in the season after she suffered a ministroke and could not perform. Following her elimination, Zolciak created an online petition to return, but ABC stuck to their decision. The Don’t Be Tardy star will return for the show’s finale though.
