[TV orNotTV] DWTS Dicking Around?

2013-04-30 Thread Ron Casalotti
Yes, I still watch Dancing with the Stars. And on last night's episode they 
added a new twist (actually two): The highest scoring couple of the night 
is immune from elimination tonight (Derek Hough  Kellie Pickler - after a 
tiebreaker); and the remaining couples faced a duo a duo dance off (40 
seconds of one of three Latin dances). The format was simple: highest 
remaining couple could choose who they wished to dance off against, and the 
judges would decide which couple did it better. Winning couples got 3 
points added to their score for the night.

Something about this bugged me, and I wondered why they would do this. Then 
it struck me - they want to get rid of Andy Dick.

Here's why: consistently in the bottom two scoring couples each week Dick 
has moved on each week based, apparently, on the votes from the fans. This 
was all well and good while there were other dance-challenged performers 
around: (Dorothy Hamill (injury); Wynonna Judd; Lisa Vanderpump (RHOBH); D. 
L. Hughley; Victor Ortiz (Boxer)). 

Now look at who's left, in order of poorest dancer to best (IMHO):
Sean Lowe The Bachelor star; Ingo Rademacher Soap Opera (General Hospital) 
actor; Alexandra Raisman Olympic Gymnast; Jacoby Jones NFL wide receiver; 
Zendaya Coleman Disney Channel star; Kellie Pickler Country music singer.

And then there's Andy Dick, who might be the worst dancer among the bunch 
scoring 5 points less than the next lowest scoring couple last night before 
the Dance Off. 

So what's the conspiracy theory? I believe DWTS and the ABC network tried 
to engineer a way to neutralize Andy Dick's fame, and therefore follower 
base, which might have kept him in the show longer than ABC stalwart The 
Bachelor star Lowe and ABC signature soap opera General Hospital star 
Rademacher (Zendaya Coleman of Disney is talented enough to win this thing 
on her own).

So to ensure that Dick leaves tonight, they stacked the deck via a 3 point 
bonus. Being Disney/ABC related can get you on the show, and apparently 
they'll innovate new features to help you stay on it longer.

Remember, Assmode is a way of life.

Not SCG has a last minute cancellation of the band (singer blew out voice in 
rehearsal).  Maybe there's a talk show gremlin focusing on the West Coast?
