To be honest, I hated to see them go too! But the DANCING! Every single dance was a showstopper--every year my respect for the pros grows, as they find new ways to do the same old dances.
I confess, I always dread when they get to the semi-final stage most seasons, because by that stage nearly everyone who is left is a favorite and deserves to be in the finals.
I honestly thought it would be one certain couple, and was shocked when I saw they were safe. But that couple has improved a lot the last couple of weeks, and the celeb has a large fanbase.
Sadly, the show has become a popularity rather than a talent contest. I enjoy the dancing, but accept the fact that the celebs who remain are often there because of their fan base, not their talent.
The popularity element has always been there. Still in most years those who don't deserve to win are pretty much gone by the semi-finals.
I've seen seasons in which a celeb who was talented got eliminated unexpectedly early, but I don't recall one in which the finalists were not all really good! And I've seen seasons in which they have done things with the judging that pretty much assures that.
And a lot of times I think it also depends not only on the popularity of the celebs, but also of the pros. I can think of past seasons in which I voted more because of the pro than of a celebrity I had not really ever heard of!
