SUGGESTION: Allow presently competing dancers and dance champions to be judges as well AND average both the current judges and the professional dancers' scores to determine the winners. The judges scores should be valued as 2/3 of the score and the audience's votes should be 1/3 of the score. Why? Because dancing with the stars does not reward growth, skill, effort and technique; it rewards popularity which is not what one expects in a competition. One expects competence. Oh well. This may the last season for that show. Gilles Marini, Mel B and Mya are the latest casualities to fall subject to the producers' popularity driven results. They are losing the very demographic they seek, the young and the ethnically diverse. The latest result is an affront to fairness and to the viewers they seek to attract; this contribute to this season having the lowest ratings of any show in their history. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Try something new.
