This season is unbelievably unfair, so much talent, and yet they are voted off and Kirstie remains not remembering steps, flashing the big butterfly hands thing!! so annoying, I wont watch until she is voted off. it’s just not right.

I’m also done with the show. The scoring is flawed. The total number of points awarded with multiple nights of scores and the (final straw) egregious overscoring of weaker dancers is simply ridiculious.

I’m a big Sabrina Bryan fan. She won me over in Season 5. We traveled to Vegas to see her perform. I did not care about anybody else on that show. I was excited to see her back, and wow, she was amazing. And she’s gone after being at the top of the leaderboard.

The ONLY WAY I will come back to the show is a revamp of the rules and reinstatement of Sabrina. That, of course, will not happes, so I will find other things to do for three hours of prime time each week.

Judges, how dare you look shocked? You were the instrument of the train wreck. Nitwits.

Oh, they lost over a million viewers this Monday. Wonder why?

There are two glaring problems with the way the voiting is set up. PROBLEM 1. The voting opens when the show starts and by the time the last dances happen many votes have already been cast. The group dance showed the vast difference between the dancers, but a large portion of the voting time had already lapsed before that even aired. SOLUTION: Don’t open the voting until after the show ends so it is fair to everybody.
PROBLEM 2: If you read the voting rules, the judges votes are weighted proportionately to the raw score vs.maximum score. Therefore, when all of the scores are high, there is virtually little difference in the outcome based on the judges’ scores. Since the possible maximum score was 90, the first place couple (Sabrina and Louie 88.5 out of 90) had 98.3% of the total score, second place Apolo had 96.1% (86.5 out of 90), third place Melissa had 95.6% (86 out of 90), fourth place Shawn had 93.9% (84.5 out of 90), fifth place Gilles had 93.3% (84 out of 90), Emmit had 91.7% (82.5 out of 90), Kirstie had 91.1 (82 out of 90) and IN LAST PLACE Kelly had 87.2% (78.5 out of 90). 7 out of 8 of them were within 7.2% of each other. Top to Bottom!! The judges’ scores are not weighted strongly enough when compared to the fan vote. SOLUTION: Give the high scorers a 100%, the second place a 95%, the third place a 90%, the fourth place an 85%, the fifth place an 80%, the sixth place a 75%, the seventh place a 70%, and the eighth place a 65%. That would make the judges score have a bit of an impact on the results.
The viewers are feeling like the show is rigged and there needs to be an adjustment of the true scores. Otherwise, the voting public should just vote for their favorites even before they dance… OH, WAIT A MINUTE,…. that already happens when the voting opens before everyone has even performed. UNFAIR!

I dont know if sabrina would have won but certainly she shouldnt have gone home tonight. Kirstie is wonderful but not a great dancer. and Kelly really seems like she could care less. lets stop the audience vote and let professionals have the only vote. would b e such different results. Need t o change how the winners are chosen or i like alot of people cannot watch anymore

I wasn’t watching DWTS the first time Sabrina was eliminated and didn’t know who she was when she was introduced as the star voted on by the fans, but when their story’s were told and that her’s was the most shocking elimination in DWTS history I knew she would be eliminated this week, you can’t tell me now that the show is not rigged. She was breathtaking, amazing and awesome to watch, The anger her elimination generated this week is for DWTS publicity and they should be ashamed. I am glad I am not the only one that feels they are done watching this show

What happened to dancin with the stars. It started as a dance contest. Scores mattered. Who have 3 good judges. they watch and deliver scores, based on the dance done. Now you have let the public take over and ruin the show. NO DANCER with a score of 30. Should be sent home. Period. You need to go back to a dance of or something. My co-workers and family are about ready to stop watching. You have people on the show now that can not dance, they laugh and think it is funny, but they stay because some people like them, they are popular, not talented. If I was asked to dance, I would say no, why try the shows scoring system is becoming a JOKE. and the producers are leting it happen. FIX it BEFORE its to late.

Dancing With the Stars is no longer credible as a dancing competition show; it has become a personality contest and after watching the show since its inception, I’m finished. If I want to watch a personality contest, I’l watch “Survivor.

What happened to Sabrina Monday night is a crime! Why can’t the judges do something like boycott the show as it is now being broadcast because the east coast couldn’t vote!!!!! Why are they not having having an elimination next week when the damage was done this week.???? How stupid! Sabrina should be asked to come back. First, we had to put up with Bristol and her inability to perform even the most uncomplicated of steps and now this. Your program is no longer a dancing contest; it’s a sham.Tom should preserve his integrity and leave the show until changes are made, and quickly.

Please don’t blame Kirstie Alley for viewers’ votes. She’s trying as hard as she can. I agree she shouldn’t still be there, but she doesn’t deserve all the hate either!

That said, this is shit. How can the highest scorers be the bottom 3? How awful.

Sabrina and Appolo Ono should never have been in the bottom two this week.

It’s time for Kirstie Alley to go!!! So disappointing to see Sabrina go. This was Kirstie’s week to GO. Once she’s gone, it’s anybody’s game.

These remaining folks are extremely talented people . They are all on equal footing and from hereon out, it’s anybody’s game, with the exception of Kirstie – she needs to be gone, gone, gone!

She is very annoying! She’s over stayed her welcome.

She cannot compete against these other very talented athletes, and an athlete, Kirstie “ain’t.” She’s also 60 something years old for pete’s sakes. She was good enough to make it for a couple of weeks. She can’t compete against these 20 something year old athletes.

Somebody posted prior that they should not eliminate someone with a perfect score. They should be immune that week from being tossed out with the dishwater. WTH’s the point of a perfect score if they’re just going to throw someone off?????

And someone brought up the comment that Brooke Charvey or whatever the XXX her name is, and the idiotic comment she made about week #6 being the same week Sabrina got bounced off the show the first time around. What a complete and utter airhead! Does the show need her, as well?

WTH is the brains running this show, anyway?

And to someone who is complaining about the people who are mad Sabrina was eliiminated – blah, blah, blah *** – we have a right to voice our satisfaction with this show or vent our frustrations with this show. That’s what this forum is here for. Take it or leave it. I choose to voice my displeasure with this show in the fairness, or lack thereof, of how talented people with perfect scores are booted from the show who don’t deserve to be at this point in time.

Assuming Kirstie is booted off the next time, (and if she isn’t….there’s something that stinks to high heaven here) it’s really going to be sad to see who’s booted off next because these folks are extremely talented dancers and athletes.

With the exception of Kirstie Alley who should be kicked off immediately, I’m happy with all of the remaining dancers. I would have been happier if Sabrina could have been part of the remaining dancers.

The elimination of Sabrina just convinces me more this whole show is fixed somehow. Some say oh, it’s because Kirstey and Bristol Palin have huge fanbases.
Are ya kidding me? Seriously? That doesn’t make either of these two talented.

This is not right. Something is very wrong with this show. I guess I was too naive to think that the more talented people had the right to make it to the finals BECAUSE THEY HAD TALENT. How stupid am I?

Obviously, I’m not thinking straight.
