Kim Kardashian was inconsolable after being eliminated on Dancing With The Stars last night.  Right after the show wrapped she rushed into the arms of her family with her publicist following her around with a box of tissues.  Says her dancing partner, Mark Ballas:

“It was a tough day for her,” “and we talked about it, and I imagine it will always be a sad day for her. I just hope that her time on the show was magical for her, and, at the end of the day, I will always be so proud that I was the one holding her hand up there.”

It’s unfortunate.  I think she is really sweet, but she obviously wasn’t able to overcome her shyness.  Part of me believes that she is shy, but then I think how can you be when you are on a reality show with cameras following you around daily? 

Carrie Ann Inaba said last night:

“This could have been a great opportunity for her to blossom and show the world that she is more than just a beautiful face.”

Inaba added, “I don’t think she really understood what it was that she got into when she joined the show. It looks very glamorous, and it looks easy, but dancing is so athletic, and so difficult, and it’s not easy to improve each week, and that’s exactly what we demand from the contestants on the show.”

Do you think her problem was shyness?
