Gosselin, paired up with dance partner Tony Dovolani, earned a disappointing 16 points for her Viennese waltz set to Billy Joel's She's Only A Woman, the third-lowest score of the evening.

She joked with us that trying to pick up the steps the first week is more frustrating than giving birth to sextuplets.
