DWTS - Objective Viewership

Anyone that has watched this show is beside themselves. Palin has consistently gotten the lowest dancing marks on the show yet is being kept on the show by viewers. But why?

My take is that DWTS needs to come up with a rule similar to American Idol, where they can bring back someone they feel should still be dancing.

America is getting this one wrong. It's a dancing show.

It is about the viewers. No viewers, the show goes off the air. Brandy can still dance. any time and anywhere.

And what does this say about the viewers? Are they judging a dance contest or playing politics?

Does it really matter? If it's really up to the public, then it's up to the public. If these shows don't like that, then they can make the decision entirely up to the judges. That wouldn't be in the shows' best interests, though, because needing viewer participation is probably a major component in their ratings.

I think it matters, and I think it's interesting. Is this ANOTHER post that you don't and that's that?

The "wednesday morning" conversation is: what criteria are the viewers using to vote?

Who they like.

I suspect that too.

Seems like dancing merit should be part of that.
