‘Dancing with the Stars’ – Semifinal Shame!

There have been many times over 14 seasons of DWS that the better dancer was sent home and in my humble opinion, it happened again last night.

The finals are set, it will be Katherine and Mark vs. William and Cheryl vs. Donald and Peta, congratulations to all. However here's the rub,  the star that I thought was clearly the best dancer of all of the four remaining stars in the semi-finals is gone, the team of Maria and Derek were eliminated last night even though they had the top scores from the judges the night before. That's just nuts!

But this highlights a problem that the show has in general, it's not a show about who's the best dancer, it's a popularity contest. Donald Driver is one of the two hunks in the finals, and yes he has proven that he can in fact dance, but he is not a better dancer than Maria Menounos.

William Levy, good looking guy who has rhythm and can shake his butt, he's in.

Katherine Jenkins who hurt her back competing the night before is good no doubt, but I think she received a sympathy vote because again, she is clearly not a better dancer than Maria.

Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno had it right when they gave Maria and Derek the top scores from the previous night but the voting fans, dominated by women viewers of course, voted with their hearts and not their heads. Once again the DWS mirror ball trophy will go to someone who's a pretty darn good dancer, but the best dancer of the final four has left the competition early.

Your thoughts.
