Yes. That is what I have always heard on "Never For Ever", too.

As far as I can recall from my English lessons at school, worse
compares two things ("This is the worse of the two") and worst
compares three or more things ("This is the worst of the three").

So Kate is implying several (ie. three or more) options of which 
the one she took was the "worst".
