DWTS Season 21, Week TEN – Dancing by the Numbers
I wrote this week’s numbers post two different ways because we’re not sure how they’re counting votes and scores. I was thinking they would use both the 9th and the 16th scores and votes, since there wasn’t a true elimination. But then it was suggested that since Tamar was “eliminated” and that they revealed a supposed low combined scoring person, that they would simply use the votes and scores from this past Monday (the 16th). Plus, when you look at the scores from 9th, it’s very likely was Tamar that would have been eliminated naturally, if she hadn’t withdrawn. She only had one point on Alek, after all. But who knows? I’ll just write it both ways. It’s instructive to see what huge numbers of points does to the margins.
ETA: And Option number 1 it is! Per Orlando Sentinel and Just Jared as a back up:
One couple will be ejected as Monday’s show ends. ABC said that couple will have “the lowest combined viewer and judge votes from the previous two weeks.”
The first option is they use the points and scores from both weeks. And, as you can see, that’s a whole lotta points.
Alek is the low man on the totem pole doing it this way, with Bindi way out in front and Nick in third place. Kinda crazy. Kinda suspicious. Are we going to hear that Carlos is going to go on tour shortly?? I don’t get the appeal. Read more..
