In the dance off, if there had been one, they were going to do the dance they did that evening - the 2nd dance for both of them. They were not able to choose which of the 2 dances to do so the judges scores for those dances ONLY should have counted.

Oh, and as has already been pointed out, Melvin would still have left on judges' scores, coming second from bottom on the leaderboard. But why let facts get in the way of things?”
Well the fact is, as I said above, they were only going to do 1 dance each in the dance off, the dance they had performed early that evening. If they were going to do 2 dances each then yes I can see the argument about the combined scoring although still unfair on Melvin not to get a chance to dance again.
If there had been a dance off then the judges are supposed to judge on the performance in the dance off alone not the earlier dance or the week before's dance. So say there had have been a dance off and they both performed the same then Melvin should have stayed because only an hour or so earlier they thought he did the better dance.
Why let facts and the truth get in the way of your thinking though

So why is the elimination not on the public's votes every week but the judges' opinion?
The producers or whoever obviously think that is a fair way until it comes to the final so why not on Saturday?
