Season 21 contestant, Kim Zolciak, officially Withdrew from the competition Monday night after apparently suffering from a small Stroke during the previous week.

The Atlanta Housewife seemingly recovered rather quickly from this competitive set-back, with reports circulating throughout the week of Kim’s Professional partner, Tony Dovolani, rehearsing with Zolciak in her hospital room for the Couple’s upcoming I Dream of Genie-themed Samba.

Noting that her “health” came first, Zolciak wound up being a no-show for DWTS’ TV Night, despite gossip to the contrary, leaving Tony to perform their Samba with help from obliging Troupe member, Jenna Johnson.

Upon dancing the lively (and incidentally, very well-choreographed) routine, Dancing With The Stars Host, Tom Bergeron, joined the very good humored Tony on the dance floor to solemnly announce The Pro and Reality star’s departure from the show.

Kim Zolciak was contacted live during the announcement where she was asked to give an update of her current predicament.

"Kim Zolciak was contacted live ... "

Zolciak informed the Audience and fans at large that, while she indeed felt ready to dance, her Doctor had advised her against any flying at this time, hence Zolciak’s absence from the live show.

After quoting a section of DWTS’ rules, set for the show in 2006 when the show debuted, that confirmed Zolciak’s requirement to Withdraw from the program, and one or two Lawyer quips, the affair was ended.

As a result, the night’s pre-scheduled Elimination was subsequently canceled, much to the relief of the remaining competitors.
