It’s not about just voting for the best dancer. That’s not what the show is about. Even the judges will say it is about the “journey”. Voting for just the best dancer would be kind of a joke since they are putting people with dancing and performing experience against people with none.
Some of it has to do with who has worked the hardest, who has improved the most, who has been the best ‘sport’ about it all etc. It’s subjective that is why they allow the audience to vote for “who they want to see dance again next week” and their “favorite”. It’s a popularity contest as well.
People who continue to think that you have to vote for the best dancer do not understand the show. And on the show website they tell you that they give the same weight to the judges’s scoring as they do the public scoring and that sometimes brings “unexpected” results.
If this was just about who is the best dancer we all would know that Jennifer Grey should be and is the best dancer. Big deal. She should be with her background. Why would anyone want to watch that?
You’re exactly right!!
Well said. Dittos.
