Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi and her partner Sasha Farber have been eliminated from 'Dancing With the Stars.'
Snooki was snookered.
"Jersey Shore" alum Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars" Monday night - despite boasting high scores near the top of the leader board this week -- in one of the most shocking results in reality dancing competition's 17 season history.

With Polizzi's exit, front runners Amber Riley from "Glee" and "High School Musical" star Corbin Bleu, "Showgirls" actress Elizabeth Berkley, "King of Queens'" Leah Remini, "Pretty Little Liars" cast member Brant Daugherty and heavy metal scion Jack Osbourne join Engvall in the final seven.
As she was consoled by cast-mates, Polizzi took so long to make her way down to the stage to say her goodbyes that ABC had to start "Castle" a couple of minutes late.

"Why am I leaving a zombie," she wailed.
"Zombies come back," retorted Bergeron.
