But she doesn't score that far below the others in the past few weeks. Bristol is definitely the most improved.
She'd never danced before. And to get death threats from morons who don't like the outcome of a reality show whose prize is a Mirror Ball, aye carumba those issuing the threats seriously need freaking therapy.
Last Idol season I was a huge Crystal Bowersox fan and definitely thought she should have beat out Lambert and Dewyze. She didn't.
Do I go koo koo bye bye and phone in death threats to the remaining contestants? NO.
Why don't I? Because I'm not a fucking maniac.
Umm, the vote is supposed to be based on merit. In a dance competition, that means the winner is the one who dances the best. Not the one who is most improved. WHen you decided that Bowersox should win, your decision was based on her performance, not on her family, or her politics, and not for her cute baby or the father who wouldn't marry her.
That's how it's supposed to be. So why are you bending over backwards to defend people who are voting based on who the contestants' mom is?
If it's strictly based on merit why bother holding a contest that has a professional dancer (Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing and daughter of Joel Grey) pitted against anyone else?
And if it was strictly based on merit how did contestants like Florence Henderson or Jerry Springer make it so far in their respective seasons?
And when I wanted Bowersox to win it was not only based on her talent. She had a great story and I liked her personality.
Just as people liked Bristol, Brandy, Kyle all non professional dancers who made it almost to the end.
The one contestant that was voted of very early was the only one who would have been a threat to Jennifer Grey.
But she didn't have a big enough fan base and was voted off despite spectacular scores from the judges and amazing performances.
