Upset on the Dance Floor on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

It was week three on "Dancing With The Stars." It was also time to eliminate a star. There was plenty of choices of which star should be eliminated, if the stars were actually judged on dancing ability. Yet, this week a dancer who constantly received high marks from the judges was eliminated. This dancer was Kristin Cavallari.

During the first three dances she had received these scores from the judges: 19, 22, and 24. As you can see, in the judge's opinion, Kristin was improving as a dancer. Now you may wonder why was she eliminated.

• · Was she less popular than the other contestants?
• · Did the viewers assume that she was safe because she was so good?
• · Did they give pity votes to other dancers just because they liked them?
• · Did the viewers just not agree with the judges opinions?

Is the programmed rigged, like many believes? Yes, some people believe that the show and the voting processes are rigged. They believe that ABC keeps on the stars that are gaining the most attention from the viewers.

I guess, we, the public may never know the true reason for why Kristin's elimination. But we do know it was sad to see her go so soon.
