I had planned to write a post after each Dancing with the Stars results show but after the October 30th show when Sabrina got voted off, for the first time in the history of the show, I became dis-enchanted with it. In my opinion, Sabrina was the best dancer on the show, hands down. The judges have consistently judged her at a different level than all the other dancers; Len even said in one show that he "looked to find something wrong" in each of her dances. In addition, I have read several online discussions about DWTS and I think that many viewers were also unreasonably hard on her.
Yes, she had dance experience but so has Joey Fatone, Drew Lachey, and others. Many of the celebrities have performing experience. Why was Sabrina singled out like this by both the judges and the viewers?
In addition to her talent and hard work, she was consistently gracious even at the end. I cannot find fault with anything she did on the show and truly believe that it is an injustice that she will not be a finalist. I can accept the premise of the show...the results are based on the judges scores and viewer votes. However, the judges were unfair and many of the viewers also were also quick to judge her, while seemingly not holding other past celebrities with dance experience to the same standards.
This whole experience has greatly diminished my enjoyment of the show. It went from a show I loved and looked forward to, to something I might watch if I'm home and nothing better is on.
