Many Dancing With The Stars fans were left in shock last night by the DWTS results. In fact, the Dancing With The Stars results were so unexpected that some fans are already asking if DWTS results are rigged. Celebrities that have low judges scores are still on the show, which isn’t unprecedented, but is unusual. Shannen Doherty, who was definitely in the middle of the pack, was eliminated. Did America really vote to conserve the star that seems to need money now, or were the results rigged?
DWTS Results
The judge scoring on DWTS results would have had Kate Gosselin and Buzz Aldrin fighting it out for a spot on Dancing With The Stars 2010. Pamela Anderson and Shannen Doherty found themselves at the bottom when the DWTS results were in. With two mid-range judge scores, Shannen Doherty’s fans evidently did not turn out like Pamela Anderson’s to keep her on DWTS. Though one has to wonder – how many hundreds of thousands of votes short of Kate Gosselin did Shannen have to be to be voted off the show?
How DWTS results are counted
DWTS results are tabulated on a half-and-half system. Judge scoring counts for half of the DWTS results, call-in votes count for the other half. Put simply, Buzz Aldrin’s moonwalking cha-cha-cha needed twice the call-in votes of Shannen Doherty’s dance. The internet loans some possible tabulation formulas, but the exact method is kept secret by ABC.
Dancing With The Stars 2010 voting rigged?
As with most “reality” shows, the producers of Dancing With The Stars do have some say in how the show goes. While their exact role in the production of the show remains mostly in the filming, partnerships and staging, some are pondering if they’ve over-reached with DWTS Season 10. With her low scores and a seemingly frustrated fan base, many believed that Kate Gosselin was a natural choice for DWTS results elimination. If not Kate Gosselin, then Buzz Aldrin, who had the largest point deficit for making up. Pamela and Shannen ended up in the bottom two, though. Are the producers of DWTS playing with the results to create more drama? Does the mother of eight have enough fans to keep her on the show? What are your thoughts?
