I only watched this show once, the premiere. Not enough people to keep me interested. I hope next season there are more real stars. Or at least get a bunch of City Data people on there using their nicknames not their real names. Would be much more interesting to me. lol See you all next season.
I absolutely refuse to watch this show further after tonight.
For a Dancing show - it is a travesty that Chaz, Nancy Grace, and Carson continue on - while the two actually decent dancers got kicked off in the last two weeks.
Watching Nancy and Chaz dance ~ just does not make for an interesting show to me.
This is why I don't watch shows like this where the audience votes who stays and who leaves because people vote for who they like personally and not on how good they dance.
I too was disappointed in last night's elimination. I felt very bad for China, who is already so hard on herself. She danced beautifully the whole season, and one bad (ok - really bad) mistake last night and BOOM! She's outta there. Harsh!
I'm rooting for Chaz to go as far as he can. I know he's not the best dancer, but I'm rooting for him anyway.
if anyone---anyone ever had doubts as to whether this is a popularity contest---tonight's elimination confirmed it.

I would think the show would be more open about it.
There have been times when the judges seemed to be honestly surprised at the final results, and I thought that the judges were counted as half and audience votes were the other half.
I also thought the votes were half and half. Carson, Chaz and Nancy must have BIG fan bases. I'm surprised Hope's is apparently pretty big too.
I agree, the judges have looked downright shocked sometimes and of course Len couldn't disguise his disgust either.
Yeah, Pip, I guess the audience can not be trusted to vote for the dancing, only on who they like.
I'm pretty darned shocked myself after last night.
I noticed Momma Cher was not there last night. "One night only" appearance. Whatever, it was nice to see.

I don't think anyone has ever really doubted the shows that utilize audience votes are definitely a popularity contest.
Having said that....Chynna, based on dancing alone, SHOULD have been the one to have the lowest scores as she definitely blew it. That makes it more like a real competition. Think about it.....a dancer in any contest outside of reality TV, would have the lowest scores with a blown dance like that. Even if they had been the previous reigning champion.
It just happens that in DWTS the lowest scores get sent home. In this case Chynna just doesn't have a fan base big enough to save her from herself.
Had she done a great routine and then gotten voted off, I'd be all on the bandwagon too....but this time it was deserved.

Hiya Tami! I'm guessing much of Hope's fan base right now is actually because of Maks.
