DWTS Season 14 Stats Class: Week 10 Scorecard
Whelp… the last scorecard for Season 14… I’m going to skip to the niceties and just go straight to the table of score differentiation:
Am I the only one that is mildly entertained that William has the largest point difference between his predicted scores and actual scores… with Katherine a point beneath that. While in the meantime, Donald is actually a lot closer being just one point off from the past? When you add the scores from Tuesday night’s show into the table Donald has the smallest point difference of the final three…
So let’s look at William’s scoring progression:
Although there are times over the season that William appears to score similar to what was originally predicted or even below, for the most part he has scored a few points over the predicted score. So let’s look at everyone else.
Here is Katherine Jenkins’ scoring progression:
Katherine has been pretty close to the prediction scores for a fair number of her dances. Although towards the beginning her point differentiation was rather large, over the course of the season the point difference shrinks.
And finally there’s Donald Driver’s scoring progression:
Similar to Katherine, Donald’s progression over the season also shows a steady progression and one that follows the prediction trail rather closely.
When you take a look at all three scoring progression, you notice that although the scores for William and Katherine have fluctuated at points where the actual score goes below the predicted score. Whileas with Donald there was never really a time that his actual score goes below the predicted score… interesting.
In my opinion, Donald has the most realistic scoring progression of all the celebrities this season, and I believe on some subconscious level the audience senses that… I know there have been times where I would wonder why the judges are scoring some couples one way or another, but in the case of Donald I wasn’t upset with the scores for him directly, but more in comparison with other less deserving couples. But I’m giving my opinion and that’s not always numbers based.
So let’s look at the progression of the eliminations of the show in comparison to the pre-season predictions.
Well, as this proves, numbers tend to be a crapshoot… nevertheless it’s fun. 🙂
Over the course of the summer off-season I will provide similar scoring progressions and point differentiation for some of the previous seasons to study if there has indeed been possibilities of “over-scoring” occurring in previous seasons as there are claims of it for Season 14. So if you’re curious how everyone compares in the previous seasons… stay tuned, because you’re not the only one that’s curious.
THE SEASON IS OVER
THe season is over, seems it really just begun
Oh dear, now what will be our Monday night fun
The dances are over, the glorious sets torn apart
Oh dear, it gets harder and harder to be apart
From the glamour, the glitz, the celebs and pros
The show stoppers that always closed the shows
Thank the internet gods for all the videos galore
We certainly be watching the dances much more
That is what we will do on Monday and Tuesday
We will re-live the glories of a performance day
Until September when it comes back in the fall
We have an invitation to the magnificent ball!

Great poem!, Lois!!
Perfect Lois!!!
Here is a poem about American Idol.
THE SEASON IS OVER
AMERICAN IDOL!
Thisssss is American Idol said Ryan Seacrest
For the last time this season, he is the best
The last chords of music are sung for certain
The last Idol off the stage closes the curtain
The judges table is empty and looks so bare
Bereft of Randy, Steven, JLo’s love and care
The resounding applause is held for a reason
The claps of hands are paused till next season
The winner was crowned with pride and elation
They will be crisscrossing the American nation
American Idol packs up all their volumes of gear
Packed away in storage, waiting for another year
Until we again hear these words to open the show
Thiissss is American Idol, Ryan Seacrest says so!

I ALWAYS GET TEARY EYED TO SEE THIS SHOW GO!
THAT IS BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Very cool Lois. I was so glad to see Phillip win last night!!
And Marianya, good job. I Love how this season was hard to predict from the beginning. I love how Donald’s numbers progressed and how he proved some of us wrong (including myself) for how well he’d do. And I can’t wait for this:
“Over the course of the summer off-season I will provide similar scoring progressions and point differentiation for some of the previous seasons to study if there has indeed been possibilities of “over-scoring” occurring in previous seasons as there are claims of it for Season 14. So if you’re curious how everyone compares in the previous seasons… stay tuned, because you’re not the only one that’s curious.”
I am glad that Philip won too!
But please please AI never let JLO perform again. I think her performances are terrible. She might have this AI gig but her performances look desperate and her songs stink.
Lois, I am impressed. 🙂 I was never able to write poems.
Since we are talking about Idol, i figured I’d chime in. I was voting for Jessica and they are going to have a hard time marketing him. He either is going to go the way of Kris Allen (successful but not well known) or Taylor Hicks (dropped really quick).
Thanks Marianya! Wow! What a lot of work you’ve done for us! It’s sure interesting!
