After Season 22, Tony Dovolani announced that he would be leaving the show as a professional dancer (via Hollywood Life). Dovolani told the outlet's podcast, "When I decided to quit nothing major happened, it was just a build-up of things where I just said, 'I didn't sign up for this.' For babysitting, maybe, a little bit. Some of these celebrities, or reality celebrities, I should say, they sometimes ... they have an idea of what they think they are and who they are, and they didn't realize that I wasn't there to deal with them. I was there to teach them how to dance. So, when it becomes about other than teaching them how to dance, I want no part of it."
When dance pros and celebrities are paired to train and compete in "DWTS," the contestants wave goodbye to any free time and privacy, as the couples are literally in each other's face for hours on end. So, some fighting is expected. What's unexpected, however, is the amount of "babysitting" that comes with working with celebs.
During Season 10 when it came time for Tony Dovolani to be paired up with Kate Gosselin, she almost pushed the dancer over the edge with her raging attitude.
