AntiBarbie has a good point. The only thing that seems off is that half the voting is based on the judges. Meaning they take an average of the judges vote or count it as 50% of the vote and add it in with the audience vote for the other 50%. Based on the score they got from the judges, they were number 3. Even if they came in last with the viewers' votes and came in last at number 7, the average would be 5th place overall. That is why something seems wrong. I am aware of the other shows where people vote in like in American Idol, but the judges on that show don't have a scoring system. Sabrina was shortchanged but it looks like she is dating her partner now. At least that is what the rumors are. I still like Helio, but Mel B is doing great too. She seems to have stepped it up.

So, as a result, I waited to read your blog until I was all caught up on the back episodes on my TIVO, since of course reading your blog would've revealed the results of Dancing With The Stars. ;-) Yes, the Sabrina debacle was an absolute shocker! If you think all of us at home & the in-studio audience were shocked, did you see the incredulous expressions on the faces of the judges! Wow, I really thought they were going to jump over their table & make some noise about it. Especially Bruno! ;-) I think AntiBarbie is onto something with her theory. Of course, Sabrina didn't deserve to go, as she was one of the most talented dancers there. I know this is going to sound over-dramatic by saying this, but what an outrage/injustice! I was really looking forward to seeing Sabrina compete in the final competition. There's no question in my mind that she would've made it. I'm rather bummed about it, but oh well, what can you do, except VOTE, people! 8-) Maybe I'll make a point of trying to watch it live & suffer through the commercials, just so I can vote. So, everyone who was pissed off that Sabrina didn't make it should take a lesson from this experience & vote! Now I'm really going to rally behind Helio. IMHO, he's one of the better dancers there, & we can't let him be voted off the show, now can we!!!!??!!! Part of the reason I loved watching Sabrina is that I think she really got the competition going with her athleticism & competitive spirit. Plus, the sheer level of her performances made everyone else really step up their game to meet her efforts. She made the competition really exciting. Her dancing will certainly be missed by many, including me. While I'm not a cheetah girls fan, I can certainly appreciate what she brought to the competition. So, now it's "Go, Helio, Go!" ;-) -C <em>cyberpenguin's last blog post..</em><a href='' rel="nofollow"></a> Hi Chessnoid,

She is gone and it is over. The show may be lacking the excitement and once had. Cheers! Hi Ed,

Whenever you leave it to the public vote, it becomes a popularity contest and not about the talent. Talent helps, but if you have more fans, more friends, you get more votes - and you do not necessarily need talent for that. Well, actually yeah you need talent in getting popular. :) <em>Ed's last blog post..</em><a href='' rel="nofollow"></a> I think this happens quite often.

I saw Sabrina on TV this morning. I think she just accepts it for what it is and focusing on the positive aspect of it. Good for her. Cheers! Hi Sue,
