Lets hope this season is not going to be a repeat of last seasons sympathy votes rather than the ability to do the dance as accurately as possible.

Marigold, I am not sure but think you might have confused DWTS5 with DWTS6. In season 5 there was a huge sympathy vote for Marie Osmond that I found totally inappropriate as better dancers lost out. In DWTS6 I could see no sympathy voting trend.

Which season was Heather Mills in? She got a lot of sympathy votes for some strange reason. I was so happy when she was booted out. I felt she really couldn't get her footing, but then again, much of the audience had her pegged so by the end, she didn't have a leg to stand on. :snicker: :snicker:

About the Vote
HOW IT WORKS:
During the live shows, judges will give a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges' scores alone do not decide a couple's fate.
Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only) and online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone and text lines will stay open for 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until noon (Eastern Time) on the day of the results show.*
In the Dancing with the Stars Results Show**, the couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will be eliminated from the competition.
The scoring is divided evenly between the judges and the viewers at home, ensuring unpredictable outcomes at the end of every show. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.
*In Week One, online voting opens on Monday at the start of the show for couples on that nights show and closes the next day at noon (Eastern Time). The online vote then reopens for the couples dancing on the Tuesday show and closes the next day at noon (Eastern Time). The couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will NOT perform on Tuesday, leaving 12 couples to dance.
**The Dancing with the Stars Results Show will premiere Wednesday, September 24 at 8/9c.
Viewers can vote via phone, text message or online for their favorites ONLY on the night they perform.

FORMAT SUMMARY:
Lines open at the beginning of each show for viewers to phone and text vote for their favorite couples and stay open for 30 minutes after the end. The whole country can vote.
One (or more) couple(s) will be knocked out of the competition each week. The couple with the lowest overall score is knocked out of the competition.
The scoring and format of the show is unique to the series and is not based on a standard dance championship.
The decision regarding which dances are to be performed by each couple each week rests with the Producers.
THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING COUPLES:
Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the public's votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.
For example if couple A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples' share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of 78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let's suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who's eliminated we combine these two shares for the total:
Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72%
Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33%
Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95%
In this case, the bottom two couples would be A and C, and C would be eliminated.
