Silly. Baseball has clear objectives that require obvious results - like actually hitting the ball where no defender can catch it or pick it up and throw it the to right place at the right time. Or pitching the ball in a way the keeps the batter from hitting it. Or, running to a base before someone can throw a ball to that same base. Getting the picture?
Dance 'competitions' are judged. Always have been. Always will be. DWTS, as a commercial product, developed a judging process that wanted the viewers to share in the judging. That's it. Nothing more. It's an 'eye of the beholder' vote for everyone, even the judges on TV. The main objective is to increase viewship and get great ratings. I think they have accomplished that this season.
But....if some numbskulls do decide to let us vote on a World Series winner....well, then GO CARDS!!!!!!!
While you do address some valid dynamics, it’s still valid to note someone who is stumbling across the stage and expressionless, while others are putting out a very nice routine.
I am addressing the situation four to six weeks back, but the description is accurate. She has improved. There’s no question about it. However, there is reason to believe that those who were out-dancing her weeks ago, would have improved also.
The scoring is subjective. And that is unlike baseball. I have still watched closely, and I do not think the judges were being unfair to Bristol at any point in the show.
Thank you for the counter opinion.
