OK, we all know Kathy Ireland's religious (after their salsa last week, she said "All things are possible with God" right after Bruno pointed out that there was an utter lack of sex in the salsa). Talking about their departure from Dancing with the Stars, the former model said her stint on the ABC show, albeit a very brief one, was "a miracle."

"It's been such a blessing, the entire experience. I'm surprised that I was able to get on the dance floor in the first place. It was a miracle," Ireland told Chris Cuomo on Good Morning America, adding that it was partner Tony Dovolani who was able to teach her "grace and elegance" - and she also called Tony "the Fred Astaire of our generation," something I'm not sure he'll appreciate.

Kathy also thanked everyone who supported her, especially Liz Taylor who reportedly Tweeted that she didn't believe the judges had been completely fair to her. The quickstep had been the downfall for Kathy, as their The King and I number proved too awkward and uncomfortable for the judges and audience alike. She and Tony scored the lowest Monday night, alongside former Republican majority leader Tom DeLay, who escaped elimination. Prior to the performance, DeLay reportedly said his biggest fear is embarrassing himself.

"I've got bigger critics than those judges," DeLay said after his performance.

Prior to the DWTS kick-off last week, DeLay admitted he jumped at the chance to appear on the show. "Conservatives can have fun too. Conservatives can let their hair down ... and put on some dancing shoes."
