I don't get it. Shannen Doherty getting eliminated is not as surprising as a Pamela Anderson elimination as the first to go in the new season of Dancing With The Stars would have been. But it's close.I can sort of understand viewers voting to keep the train wreck Kate Gosselin dancing, just to torture her. But where is the sympathy for her partner, Tony Dovolani, who her madness drove to temporarily quitting?
And then there was the soap star, Aiden Turner, whom I'd never heard of before, and who was borderline abusive to partner Edyta. Why did he not get the boot before Shannen?
Did viewers get turned off by the dad in the audience thing with Shannen? It seemed genuine to me, not some sort of attempt to soften up the notorious bad girl's bad girl rep.
And would Shannen not have a lot bigger fan base than some of these people whom I've never heard of?
Isn't Shannen's partner, Mark Ballas, one of the more popular of the pros? Ballas hurt his knee, bad, while rehearsing, pulling the muscle off the bone. He says he'll be out for 6 weeks. So, minimally, it would seem Shannen was destined to get a new partner if she did keep dancing.
As for Buzz Aldrin, I can see how he would manage to get enough viewer support to keep him in, despite having the lowest judges' scores.
Didn't Shannen get fairly good scores for their her routine? It was one of the few routines that I did not hit the FF button at some point during it.
