Katherine Webb Quits 'Splash', Says "Doctors Orders"; Kendra Wilkinson Previously Left Show Claiming "Scared Of Heights"

Katherine Webb, 23, is the latest contestant on the ABC diving competition show "Splash" to quit the show, leaving without being voted off the program.

The drop out, Webb, followed the footsteps of Kendra Wilkinson, who recently left the competition, causing a stir with her "diving is not my thing" decision. Kendra claimed she was terrified of heights and woke up shaking every morning. She announced her depatrure from the show while standing on the diving board, too afraid to make one more jump. The former Playboy Playmate claims when she signed up for the reality series she falsely assumed it would be more like swimming that acrobatics.

Webb's reasons for leaving the show were quite different however. Web said she has to leave due to a medical condition and she was ordered by her doctor to not participate on the reality show anymore.

"I went to the doctor, and unfortunately, he told me I'm out of the competition," Miss Alabama USA 2012 told the show's audience during an episode that aired on Tuesday.

Chuy Bravo also left the show due to an injury.

Katherine graciously tweeted to fans: "Thank you guys for all the support! Means so much. Love you guys."

Previously eliminated contestant, Louis Anderson, replaced Webb, but was booted off the show for a second time on his first returning night.

"I know I have very little chance of winning this competition," he said at the end of the episode. "And I am going home, and I am going to defer to Brandi because she has a chance to win this competition."

The series first aired on October 5, 2012. Based on the Dutch series of the same name, it has celebrities perform dives from extreme heights and each week the challenges increase in difficulty.

Rating For the ABC show have been mediocre, not surprisingly. If the contestants don't even want to participate then why should viewers?
