I do think that the storm may have had something to do with voting. The eastern seaboard did not air DWTS on Monday and the rest of the country was watching Piers Morgan's live coverage on CNN or so it seems. So the voting may have been low.
I thought it very odd last night that a) no bottom two and b) Tom did not turn to the judges before elimination and ask the usual "what does it mean if we lose...." I'm confuse now what do you mean with no bottom two and Tom ? |

The bottom two was not announced so we don't know who the other couple was (I agree with - it gives the other couple a votor boost for the following week after being in the bottom 2)

Just seen the result. Nobody has posted that Dancing With The Stars uses a different voting system to us and has done since about season 3 I think.
They allocate half the votes based on the judges scores as so.. Sabrina & Louis 88.5 6.58% Apolo & Karina 86.5 6.43% Melissa & Tony 86 6.39% Shawn & Derek 84.5 6.28% Gilles & Peta 84 6.25% Emmitt & Cheryl 82.5 6.13% Kirstie & Maks 82 6.1% Kelly & Val 78.5 5.84% That means the judges scores actually give the top couples very little advantage over the other couples - they may as well not contribute at all. The public votes are then added so if you got 20% you would get 10% added to your score above. Sabrina and Louis only need to be 1.5% behind all couples to get sent home. ![]() I think the points system is to ensure the worse dancer go first cause if you got a score like 12 then your pretty much doomed unless half of america votes for you. |

Edit
![]() It does seem to help get the really awful dancers out but when the scores are even it doesn't split them very well. |

Next week they are doing fusion dances (more craziness) and a swing marathon.
Here are the fusion dances as chosen. - Melissa: TANGO/CHA CHA (chosen by Kirstie & Maks) - Kelly & Val: CHA-CHA/FOXTROT (chosen by Sabrina & Louis) - Emmitt & Cheryl: RUMBA/SAMBA (chosen by Shawn & Derek) - Kirstie & Maks- QUICKSTEP/SAMBA (chosen by Karina & Apolo) the reaction of all four of them was hilarious. - Shawn & Derek: TANGO/PASO (chosen by Melissa & Tony) - Gilles & Peta - AREGENTINE TANGO/SAMBA (chosen by Kelly & Val) - Apolo & Karina:CHA CHA /PASO (chosen by Gilles & Peta) Sabrina would have danced Tango/Foxtrot had she stayed.

I think Saturn has halved the judges' percentage - at a glance they seem to add up to 50%, and so is doing the same with the voter percentage...just one way of doing the maths!

How come Sabrina just got voted off. Top 3 IMHO. However they decide the %'s it must be wrong. Yet Kirsty the real no-hoper stays????
I'm totally miffed ![]() ![]()

Thought that Emmitt or Kirstie should have gone instead of Sabrina. Sabrina is one of the better more consistent dancers and should have got a lot further however I didn't like her Waltz it was boring and too sickly sweet and if people were voting after that show I can understand slightly why she went - people would have voted for Apollo because after Carrie-Ann's comments that they were in danger.
Sabrina and Louis' rumba was great but she does tends to attack to much. The most annoying thing is that people would rather see Kirstie or Emmitt or Giles (who is annoying me for some reason - I don't like his partnership with Peta at all) than Sabrina. I like Kirstie but it should be who you would rather watch dancing than who is more entertaining in reactions or vts. Sabrina would have been in my top 3 with Apollo and Shawn. |

My only concern is that the producer wants someone who didn't win before, and a popular male, and that will be Gilles. Most of the ABC shows are promoting Gilles to win. So my guess he will be in the finals. |

I think Apollo were underscore badly,Emmit, really? That dance didn't deserve 10. And Melissa was good but not worth ten. I don't get me start with Gilles, that was a naff choreography.
I feel so sorry for Apollo. I got the feeling he will go next with who knows. I just can't watch the clips of the show anymore, I got upset because I don't see the logic of the scoring or the voting. I'm done with DWTS. |
