I watched the latest season episode 6 tonight on my DVR and I was totally furious with the result. Saylor was one of the top dancers in the show and should never have been eliminated. I have seen this before when a political figure is featured as a ‘star’. The political base comes out and supports the person irregardless of whether or not the person dances like a block of wood. I also noticed that all the political ‘stars’ are Republicans.
I swore after Bristol Palin was on the show that I would never watch again. But I was sucked back in by the passage of time and the desire to see some good dancing.
Unless you quit letting politics play a part in a show that should only feature legitimate entertainment stars I think your show has become a hack job. I don’t know how the judges and dancers can stand what you are doing. You must have bought their souls.
If you could do the right thing and quit politicizing the show and allow the judges to overrule a terrible mistake by the fans who are obviously not voting for dancing ability but for the political base then I think I have to describe your show as a total waste of time.
This could be such a good show.
Angry and upset.
