Dancing With The Stars Ousts Jack Wagner

Am I good or what? I predicted the celebs who would land in the bottom on last night's “Dancing With The Stars” results show.

Out from my bottom three is Jack Wagner, who was disappointed, but left the show with grace. I didn't mind Jack, but knew he couldn't last in the company of some truly great dancers.

There is just no time this season to be anything but great as the celebs are finding out quickly. It was unheard of for the celebrities to get such high scores in these early weeks and the pressure is on to keep them up.

It was also announced last night that the judges will be stepping in for a few weeks and making the final vote-off decision themselves between the two bottom-placing couples. I like that idea. Too often this show, as well as many like it, that are driven by fan votes, become complete popularity contests and not any sort of show of skill or talent.

“American Idol” is perhaps the worst offender. It almost never fails that the contestant who comes from the most populated area of the country goes far. And now that cell phones are a must-have for every pre-teen girl on the planet, the cutest boys tend to do quite well, racking in double the votes of the girls. Sometimes the two meet and you get a cute contestant from a larger metropolis who can sing, but more often than not, the cute winning males are never heard from again after their moment of confetti-covered glory is over.

I have seen far worse offenses when it comes to the voting on “Dancing With The Stars.” And while teenage girls may not be giving themselves carpal tunnel texting in vote for their favorites, the older ladies don't seem to mind making a few calls for the men who rip off their shirts. I have as of yet to hear my husband tell any of his buddies that they need to call and save Gladys Knight from elimination, but I know for a fact that a group of women at the grocery store spend their Monday nights voting for William Levy.

For a female celeb on DWTS, her chances are greatly increased if she is paired with one of the hottie male professional dancers, i.e., Mark Ballas, Derek Hough and Maksim Yummykovsky (no, not his real name). The younger set, when their Disney dancer or hot male rap star has been eliminated, will switch their votes to actually reflect their love for the male professional and not so much whats-her-face he is dancing with.

Hopefully the judges can look past the hype and base their final decisions on actual dancing. I'm sure Len can, but am not so sure about Bruno, and Carrie Ann will be useless if anyone is dancing shirtless.
