I have watched the show faithfully since the beginning but this is my last season. It has become a popularity contest . Tonight was the last straw for me when Sean was safe when clearly he will never make it to the end. It is ridiculous that he is staying . I know he is trying & having a great time but clearly he is no dancer. Losing Kate was the last straw for me. I can say that I never even watched whatever show she was on so I am basing it solely on dancing. Also, not everyone watches the show live. I don’t because my husband doesn’t like the show so I have to watch after he goes to sleep. With all the unrest between the political parties, it wouldn’t surprise me if Sean’s votes are coming from stanch supporters of his party. My favorite is the James & I didn’t watch his show either. For that matter I don’t really know much about Sean either. The only time I showed favortism is when Derick was one of the dancers. I think he was the best dancer, trainer & choreographer, however I don’t watch his show as it just didn’t get it for me. And judging is not his strongest quality. Now if he came back to the show I would watch. This is just my opinion. This needs to be fixed.
