DWTS Season 15, Week 2 – Dancing by the Numbers
Crack is wack…and BACK in the ballroom. Everything Courtney said about the scoring – I said much the same. Overly kind to some couples, desperately trying to find fault with others. What it boiled down to was a whole bunch of over scoring combined with some “just right” scoring. I don’t think anyone was underscored, really, but many were way too high. Including Bristol and Kirstie, despite them being at the bottom of the leader board. It’s this kind of scoring that always leads to shocking eliminations. Do I really think that either Bristol or Kirstie will go home this week? Read on…
The Judges Scores and Percentages
This is why this season is so tough – even with a pretty good break between Bristol and the rest, there is NO guarantee that she’s going home like there would be in a normal season. Like it or not, Bristol is on the show for a reason. Do I think she has a HUGE fanbase? Well, it’s never truly been tested. It will be tonight, to a degree. Now, I think Kelly and Drew both are in serious danger. HOWEVER, last week Bristol only needed 7,200 more votes per million votes cast than Drew in order for him to land in the bottom two. This week is a different story and will be a bit more of a test of her fanbase. What does Bristol need to have happen in order to stick around for another week? She needs at least ONE of the following things to happen:
– Bristol needs 10,900 more votes per million votes cast than Kirstie, OR;
– Bristol needs 14,500 more votes per million votes cast than Kelly, OR;
– Bristol needs 16,310 more votes per million votes cast than Drew OR Joey OR Emmett, OR;
– Bristol needs 18,120 more votes per million votes cast than Helio, OR;
– Bristol needs 19,930 more votes per million votes cast than Melissa, OR;
– Bristol needs 23,550 more votes per million votes cast than Apolo
