URGENT PUREDWTS PSA: HELP STOP SOPA/PIPA FROM STEALING YOUR INTERNET FREEDOM!

It’s pretty rare on Pure DWTS that we bring up anything even related to politics (except when a politician is on the show I guess). We try to keep a laser focus on all things DWTS. However, none of us at Pure DWTS can resist not talking about the issue known as SOPA and PIPA. This is legislation that’s going through Congress and the House that has terrible consequences.

Rather than try and explain all the details of this terribly misguided sloppy legislation (although Courtney started down this road), it’s probably more compelling to just keep it simple and point to a few major websites that are blacking out their websites today in order to #StopSOPA and #StopPIPA.

Here are a few and we can add more if you’re interested since there are thousands:
-Wikipedia
-Google
-WordPress

Also, I think this video provides a basic overview of how messed up SOPA and PIPA are:

You’ll also notice that we blacked out the Pure DWTS logo and Twitter avatars in support of this effort as well. Some out there will argue that SOPA and PIPA are aimed at protecting copyright. We’re all for efforts to protect copyright holders. We have people steal the content from Pure DWTS all the time. However, SOPA and PIPA do little to stop any copyright infringers and have potentially disastrous consequences.

Don’t take our word for it though, check it out yourself and if you agree, let your congressman know.

Worst Question: Who SHOULD Win DWTS?

I think probably the worst question people like to ask is “Who SHOULD win DWTS?” I’m totally fine with the questions, Who will win?, Who do you want to win?, Who deserves to win?, Who’s the best dancer?, Who’s the most improved? etc. I just think the question of SHOULD just doesn’t work.

At the end of the day, the judges scores end up basically not mattering at all. All of them score nearly the same (with a few rare exceptions) and so it’s just up to the public voting. Who America votes for is a crazy and often unpredictable.

Here’s the perfect example. I was driving home today and the guy on the radio listed off the DWTS finalists. Then, he said that he thought Rob should win because he has to put up with his sister. What kind of reasoning is that?

I don’t have anything against Rob. To be quite honest, I’m fine if any of the final 3 win. I’d love for Karina finally won a mirror ball and how could someone complain about a guy as classy as JR? Derek and Ricki have done great throughout the season. I think almost everyone is pretty much shocked that Rob is in the finals. I live in Vegas and I’m pretty sure the casinos would have taken all the money they could have taken for bets that Rob would have made the finals.

My point is that those voting don’t make rational decisions. America’s not consistent with who they vote for. One season they might vote for most improved. One season they might vote for best story. One season they might vote for best dancer. One season they might vote for the cutest. It’s not who should win, cause there’s no should when America starts voting.

What should happen is we should enjoy the finale, be amazed and impressed by the performances and just enjoy the spectacle that is DWTS. At least that’s what I plan to do.

Welcome to the New Pure DWTS Server!

If you can see this post, then you’re now seeing Pure DWTS on our new server. We’ll still be tweaking things on the new server over the next little bit. So, bear with us if anything doesn’t work quite like it should. Plus, do let us know if you see anything that doesn’t look quite right. Moving 2255 posts and well over 30,000 comments was a bit of a challenge. We think we got everything transferred, but let us know if we didn’t in the comments of this post.

Besides the posts and comments numbers above (which are incredible), we’ve done almost 4.5 million pageviews since the start of Pure DWTS.

Thanks for everyone who reads it and an even bigger thanks to Princess Heidi, Courtney, Vogue and the other writers that make Pure DWTS great. Let’s hope the new server performs very well so you can all enjoy Pure DWTS even more!
