"I wish I could do it for everybody, but I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry everybody. This just won't be a happy ending for me," the Kendra on Top star said following her ouster.
"It's very bittersweet. One thing I don't do is quit and this is the first time in my life I quit something. So I'm not happy that I quit. Trust me, this will haunt me for the rest of my life."
Kendra was automatically eliminated from Splash after she refused to participate in her team dive with assigned partner Rory Bushfield, an extreme skier. The pair was supposed to dive from the 23-feet board.
Last night's broadcast featured the season's celebrity divers competing in teams of two.
