Dancing With The Stars Controversy – Did Jerry Rice Win The Final Public Vote?
February 27, 2006 12:08 AM by Joe Blackmon
The biggest unanswered question from the Dancing with the Stars 2 finale is who actually won the public vote. The way the scoring works is that each couple is assigned a ranking point based on their order of finish in the judges' scoring and a ranking point based on their order of finish in the public voting. The judges' score and the public vote ranking points are then combined into one total, and the couple with the lowest combined ranking point total is eliminated. In cases of a tie, the public vote is the tiebreaker.
The order of the judges' scoring was revealed, so viewers know that Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke finished first and received 3 ranking points, Stacy Keibler and Tony Dovolani finished second and received 2 ranking points, and Jerry Rice and Anna Trebunskaya finished third and received 1 ranking point.
For Stacy and Tony to be eliminated first, it means that they had to have finished in last place in the public vote. Stacy and Tony would have received 1 ranking point for their last place public vote finish so their combined ranking point total would have been 3 points. If Jerry and Anna finished in second place in the public vote, then they tied Stacy and Tony with 3 total ranking points, but Stacy and Tony were eliminated because the public vote is the tiebreaker. If Jerry and Anna finished in first place in the public vote, then they finished with 4 total ranking points, one ahead of Stacy and Tony.
Just because Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke finished in first place and were champions of Dancing with the Stars does not mean that they won the public vote. If Drew and Cheryl finished in second place in the public vote, then they would have received 2 additional ranking points. When these 2 ranking points were combined with their 3 ranking points from the judges' score, then Drew and Cheryl's combined ranking point total would have been 5 points. Since Jerry and Anna only had 1 ranking point from the judges' score, a first place finish in the public vote would have given them 3 additional ranking points but only a total of 4 ranking points. Drew and Cheryl would have won with either a first or second place finish in the public vote.
The irony is that if Jerry Rice did win the public vote then if Stacy Keibler had won the judges' score, it would have likely created a three way tie, where each couple would have had a combined total of 4 ranking points. Jerry Rice would have won the competition because the public vote is the tiebreaker. If the judges knew who won the public vote then it could have affected the way that they scored the last dance. The judges could have been reluctant to score the last dance in such a way as to move Stacy Keibler into first place, because it would have created a three way tie and handed the competition to Jerry Rice. Of course, Dancing with the Stars did not reveal the public vote totals on the show, so it is not known if the public vote totals are even revealed to the judges.

I'm so sad that Stacy did not win. She the served the first place she is the only one who really dance the ballroon dance properly and this is not a Ballroon dance competion is a popularity show.

Even with a score of 30 out of 30 Stacy did not win, so stop whinning about it and get over it. Stacy did not deserve the mayority of the 30 out of 30 votes, yet when we complain about it you go all crazy on us. And it is "deserved" not the served. I do think that Stacy should've won second place, if we're basing on the dance and then Drew would've still won because he was the best. Stacy kept repeating the same thing and Drew went for something more challenging. Either way, Drew deserved to win and Stacy should've won 2nd place. I guess getting almost naked didn't work for Stacy =(. Hey children watch this show! Is that appropiate for children?

Please! What controversy. Either way, Stacy could've only one 2nd place. There is not controversy here. Last week's dances proved everything. Just because someone was good during the whole competition until last week, doesn't mean they will win. Stacy could've won, but her sleazy attitude from 2 weeks ago made her place in 3rd. This isn't the first time she has been in the bottom 2. She has been TWICE, so people were expecting her to be in 3rd place. It was going to be between Drew and Jerry anyway. Jerry is not the best dancer, but always chose original dances and gave 100% of him. He didn't complain(nor the other couples) about injuries to the point they would use it as an excuse, like Stacy. Stacy chose the same dances 5 times in a row and with the same coreography. Nothing new. She did deserve 3rd place.

What happened today with Stacy? Again she was upset about being in 3rd place. Again you could tell she was angry, not sad, but angry. Jerry was a great loser. Instead of being angry and ignoring everything and acting trashy, he applauded and congratulated Drew as soon as they announced Drew was the winner. What would've Stacy done? She would've being angry and would've taken out her claws, then congratulate them.

Prediction for next season: In order to fend off suspicions of racial bias regarding the judge's gypping Jerry out of winning (by low-scoring Stacy's final dance), watch for Dancing with the Stars to find an African American who can actually dance for next season's show. If she can dance and polls like Jerry, she will have no trouble winning it all which will remove suspicions about this year's vote.
Prediction Probability: Network Executives are spineless upping the probability of this prediction to a percentage in the high sixty's. Prediction probability will be affected by how big of a stink people make about the possibility that the judge's vote for Stacy was affected by the desire to withhold the win from spaz-mo Jerry.

Anonymous Says:

I meant manipulating the final score so that Drew stayed ahead of Stacy in the final tally. The judges knew what would happen if the order changed and you do have to wonder if being aware that a spaz-mo would win it all and completely destroy the show's credibility didn't alter the judge's final vote. The point of the article is well-taken.

Okay, seriously, get over it. If the judges were trying to keep Drew in 1st place, they wouldn't have given Stacy a pefect score tonight. Whether or not they knew what was going to happen, they still gave Drew a "low" score. Blame the judges for trying to keep Stacy in 1st place then. Drew won fairly. If you wanted to see something really unfair, then Jerry would've won. That'd be unfair. Last week also counted towards the viewer's opinions. Geez, just because Stacy is in 3rd place, doesn't mean it was unfair for Drew to win or that the system failed. Can't you get in your head that some people just didn't like Stacy's dance? She isn't natural gifted. She has taken dancing lessons. She was doing so good until she decided to pick the same thing over and over again, then blame it on her damn foot. Then after complaining about her stinky foot (keep in mind her foot didn't hurt when she danced the Jive and she did so well) she talked about how the children sent her a long band supporting her, and used the sick children's name to justify her foot. "Look, my foot is sick and so are those children and I'm like them, I go for it no matter what." If she really meant that, she would've mentioned her foot injury, but wouldn't have used it as an excuse. Stacy is excuses excuses, pretty and gorgeous, whatever you like, but with a horrible attitude. Oh yea, I'm sure the other couples didn't have an injury. Poor Queen Stacy, let's all bow and rub her foot. She should be used to it by now, especially if she danced the same damn thing 5 times. Where's the effort there? I thought she was a great dancer. Well ,she isn't as great as we all thought she was. She had her chance to prove she deserved 1st place, but didn't these past 2 weeks, actually 3. She was in the bottom 2 twice. No system failed here. We all saw that coming.

The judges only made up 50%. Even if Stacy got the whole 50%, she could've gotten only 10% of the viewer's vote and that's still low. Actually, the judges were being generous and were trying to help her place at least in 2nd place, but failed. Some people just thought Jerry did a better job than Stacy, regardless of how good or bad they were. Drew was excellent every week. How come you didn't think it was all unfair and that the system failed, when Stacy got the highest scores? Stop making up excuses like her. Grow up.

February 27th, 2006 at 1:48 am
I think Stacy danced like a true professional…whether fully clad or skimpily clad…and i strongly feel the "audience" vote should NOT have had that much clout in the outcome. I also don't think the winner should have been pre-determined before the final dance. When they announced Stacy and Tony as the third place winners…it was all too clear that the much anticipated competition results had turned out to be nothing more than a mere popularity contest at a high school prom.
J Says:
February 27th, 2006 at 2:06 am
Here's the point that the article makes (for those whose math skills are comparable to Rice's dancing skills). On the final dance, with the popular vote in, the judge's KNEW in advance what scores would determine the winner.
They would have been aware in advance of their voting that if Stacy and Drew changed position in the Judge's 50% of the votes that Jerry would win it all. So, the question the article brings up is did this affect the point totals they gave Stacy and Drew for their final dances. It is an interesting question because it shows that the judges did have the final say in who won.

If it was a popularity contest, Stacy would've won. If the whole thing was up to the judges, Drew would've won. Either way, Drew would've won regardless of who was up to decide the winner. What, are you jealous of Drew?

You guys need to make up their minds and know what you are posting about. When Stacy got the highest scores, what did you say to us Drew or Jerry or Lisa's fans when we said it was a popularity contest? "OMG YOU ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE STACY IS BEAUTIFUL" so now that the papers have turned, I might as well say you are jealous of Drew. Happy now?
Jim Says:
February 27th, 2006 at 2:31 am
Is this some of manufactured "controversy"? Should they have given Drew bad scores tonight solely to turn this into a referendum on the public vote? Drew and Cheryl were never in the bottom two, so they must have been pretty popular. They already gave his jive a weaker score than it deserved tonight (27), probably to help keep him fairly even with Stacy.
Stacy did very well considering that she peaked several weeks ago, considering that she and her partner Tony were openly hostile towards Carrie Ann Inaba on multiple occasions, and considering that she barely did more in the freestyle than wave her arm.
I don't know how she has been robbed, or how this is some affront to Jerry because he may have won the popular vote. I wish that just once this show could end without some fake controversy. Drew did a fantastic job all season. He deserved to win.
J Says:

My suggestion is to read the article at the top of this blog. I am not getting how Stacy is even relevant here. She's not the one affected by what the article is bringing up. She could not have won. The Judge's vote for her would determine whether Jerry or Drew would win. She's not even in the running if she finished third. The point is did the judges stop Jerry from winning. Since he was the lousiest dancer, would they have been motivated to stop Jerry and not let the show be thought of as a complete joke? Get it?

I think saving the show's credibility would have had to have been a consideration. Are we certain that the judges knew the result of the popular vote in advance of their final vote. If they did, as the article suggest, that should be fixed.

Stacy has nothing to do here. We all saw everything coming. I don't know who said Stacy was the viewer's favorite. If she was, then she wouldn't have been in the bottom 2 for two weeks in a row. Just because your boner is complaining, doesn't mean everything in the show is rigged or unfair, or whatever you want to call it. Jerry was popular. We all knew that. Drew did an amazing job during the whole season, so it is fair that he won. Stacy did a good job, but didn't keep up the hard work by choosing the same style and dances, and bringing up her real attitude. Get over it, you will not change anything.

I remember the Stacy fans attacking those who liked another couple. They called them "jealous" and told them everything was fair for her. Now that the tables are turned, what do you think now? Is it fair to call you jealous? Drew was the best because he gave it all and went for it and danced challenging coreographies. Stacy could've won IF she chose something that was 100% original. What did she pick instead? Jive. How many times has she done that?and same technique and coreography? 5 times. Is that fair? No. At this point, she should've danced something more risky. I mean if she really was a good dancer, but that proves she isn't. Oh the injured foot! Big deal. They were all going through the same pain. Coming up with excuses is unprofessional. How come she did so well the Jive with an injured foot? Excuses, excuses.

I think the biggest reason they had 3 people in the finale, with Jerry placing 2nd, is to avoid what happenend last year. If it had come down to just Stacy and Drew, Stacy's fans would be screaming for a dance-off, saying it wasn't fair because she had to perform with an ankle injury.

It's interesting how hostile everyone becomes when their favorite doesn't win. It's just a tv show, folks! For one thing, this is a popularity contest. When Master P stayed in so long, there was something very wrong. Other couples went home when they were clearly better than Master P. Then when it was down to four couples, Lisa deserved to stay in over Jerry Rice. Hey, I know he tried really hard and he improved a lot and he had a great attitude, but he was not a dancer. His popularity kept him in, which is a shame, because people should vote on talent and they never do. Any time the American Public gets to vote, the outcome is always bad. Then there're all these bad remarks about Stacy's attitude. She was smiling the whole way. I never saw her acting bad or snotty. Just because she's beautiful and did well, people want to pick at her. I believe her foot was bad, but I also think she played it for all it was worth, for sympathy. But, heck, if she danced on a bad foot, I give her credit. She and Drew were the best dancers in the show from Day 1, but Jerry Rice was kept in there by football fans. I thought it was a toss-up between Stacy and Drew. However, I thought Drew and his partner were much more original. Stacy and her partner did the same dance over and over again. Drew and his partner took chances and I think that put them over the top. That cowboy dance they did was phenomenal! Rice and his partner did the best they could with his limited abilities. I thought they were all good sports, but I never voted. And I am SO tired of race being brought into this on every show. Geezh. We heard it with O.J. and we heard in on American Idol and the list goes on. PEOPLE were in the competition. I wish people would stop finding fault with everything and just enjoy the show.

Stacy got from the judges a 30 of 30 Sunday.
You have to admit her dance on SUNDAY was pretty boring! .. AND you say you want the public to vote on the BEST DANCER! – then CLEARLY she was NOT the best dancer Thursday when the PUBLIC voted! So how can you possibly say she was gyped?
Sounds like you wanted people to vote for her due to 'popularity' instead of her DANCE on Thursday?!

Drew was the best overall, hands down. NO one else deserved to receive that award, and anyone who knows dancing, knows that. I think it should all be judged by the professionals and leave the popularity contest out of it. Then we will see who really deserves it at all times.

See? So what about you? Are you jealous of Drew or someone else? He might be short, but he's handsome, and way more handsome than his bro Nick. I think everyone notice her snotty attitude. You just don't want to see it. When she was in the bottom 2 and they announced that Lisa was eliminated, she didn't act. She acted angry. You could see it on her face. Then it took her until the end of the show to hug Lisa bye-bye. Not our fault you didn't see it. Compare that to Jerry's attitude when they announced that Drew was the winner. What did he do? SMILE and went to congratulate him (of course someone told him to step back for a moment). This is a dancing competition about stars who are NOT DANCERS. Stacy was a dancer throughout her whole life. Drew only received trainning for a specific dance on his movie. Jerry has never received any dance lessons. So, at least Drew won because it could've easily being Jerry if we're following the real format. Either way, Stacy would've placed third and we've seen it coming for these past weeks.

Jerry and Anna were the legitimate winners…I'm very upset.
Yes, Jerry and Anna ranked number one in the audience vote. That's why the judges ensured that Stacy came in second to Drew with their votes. Otherwise, it would have been a three-way tie (4 for each pair) with Jerry 3 with the viewers and 1 with the judges, Stacy 2 with each and Drew last with the audience (3) and 1 with the judges. The real loser is ABC, which did not realize the treasure that Jerry is–a 21st century Cary Grant.

I wish people like you would stop accussing and assuming what's false. Just because we liked someone else doesn't make us jealous. No one has said Stacy wasn't pretty. They were pointing at her trashy behavior from the last weeks. She blew everything because she took it for granted and because she thought landing her butt in front of the judges and posing almost nude would get her votes. She said it at the beginning, to vote for her before the photoshoots. Lisa could've dressed slutty also, but at least she didn't go around using children for excuses and posing almost nude for votes.
Stacy can do whatever she wants, but children watch this show and they learn. It's a shame.

If you wanna talk about controversy, then blame the judges. They were trying to advance Stacy to 2nd place. They tried to help her by giving her a 30 out of 30 when she didn't deserve. Oh, but yea I'm jealous because I voted for Lisa and not for Stacy. And I'm a guy eh ;). If you want to argue about something and give that liver a little bit of work, then blame it on the judges. Why does it surprise you? Everyone saw it coming. Jerry has always had the viewers' votes. Stacy was in the bottom 2 for 2 weeks in a row. That says something, doesn't it? Look at how Stacy and Tony reacted when they were giving bad comments. They couldn't take it. They were upset. Jerry was, too. But at least he was used to it and didn't blame everything on his injuries and didn't complain about it. Instead, he went for it, and worked even harder. What did Stacy do? Danced the same Jive 5 times in a row. Who worked harder? Jerry. If Stacy danced something different and something more original, she could've easily won or won 2nd place. She had her chance. It's not our fault she blew it.

Do you what trainning for movies is? For six months, someone doesn't get private classes. They rehearse in a group. He didn't learn ballroom dance. Six months trainning doesn't do much because those six months are not really only focus on the dancing. And I know that for a fact. Try going to productions of movies or musicals. I seriously doubt he got THAT good in just six months. At the beginning of the show he wasn't the BEST BEST, but still he was good. It's not his fault he's an actor and he can deliver a message. Stacy had years of trainning since she was little, then cheerleading. At least she could've danced a little better or show off more feeling and picked challenging dances regardless of what it is. Have you seen the olympics? In the women's ice figure skating? The chinese girl fell and was injured and instead of complaining and making up excuses, she went there and skated again. Take that for example. That's even more painful than a damn foot injury. Stacy should've be used to it by now.

The judges have been judging dancers for a long time. If one dancer never got a single TEN how could that dancer beome number TWO in the finals? My thinking is the public voting sucks big ones. It should be a judge only or contestant only vote like Survivor. If Drew hadn't won I would NEVER watch the show again until they changed the weight of the public vote, but since Drew won I am sure I'll watch it again. I just hope there is no rematch like with John Hurley. Old people wanted Hurley to win and they made sure he did and that sucked too. I'm not a racist as you can see from my opinion about Hurley. My point is it should only be a BEST DANCERS competition and not an AMERICA'S SWEETHEART thing. There are other shows for that kind of thing.

Okay, since you want to use your "logic." Here are some facts first:
-Stacy was in the bottom 2 for these past 2 weeks. Therefore, we all knew she wasn't gainning the viewer's votes.
-Jerry has always gotten the viewer's mayority vote, or Drew. So we all saw it coming.
Stop trying to prove Stacy's 3rd place is unfair. Okay, so if we're going with the rules. Contestants cannot have any pro dancing background. Drew didn't have any pro dancing background. So okay 2nd place. Stacy did so out of the competition. Jerry didn't so he wins. Is that what you wanted? At least Stacy got 3rd. It should've be Lisa instead of Stacy. Who did the best job overall and during these past weeks? Drew. Who has improved the most?Jerry. Who has repeated dances and same coreography and came up with excuses and had a bad attitude? Stacy. Be happy that at least she got 3rd place. Get over it and stop complaining.

You can't take away the title from Drew and Cheryl. Now, I know why you like Stacy so much. You act just like her. If she can't get what she wants, she attacks or blames something else.

What is funny is that most you people think HOLLYWOOD is honest.
Oh are you a naive fool.
Hollywood will ALWAYS do what protects their interests. First Stacy (pole dancer – WWE) is as much a Hollywood outsider as Jerry (football – NFL).
Drew is the ONLY person in the Hollywood suck-up club.
I am always amazed that you people can never seem to catch on to this FACT.
So, for the last time ALL THESE "CONTEST SHOWS" ARE FIXED. Why you ask; simple: MONEY!
America is sucked in by the producers to have you invest your emotions in the SHOW. This sucks your money into the phone calls and gets you to buy the "Trash & Trinkets" peddled by the advertisers. This is why it is called SHOW BUSINESS. It will be a business forever with known outcomes and no surprises.

Okay, this is my last post because you're taking everything I said and making it into something I DIDN'T say and I think you people are crazy. For one moment, will you people just read with an open mind? When I said Stacy didn't have a bad attitude, I'm just saying I didn't think she did. I don't care WHO won. I have no personal investment in this and I just don't care, the way you people do. Personally, I thought she and Drew should have been the top two because of ability. Okay? I am really glad Drew won. I never said I didn't think he should. I thought it should have been between him and Stacy and I was glad it was Drew because I thought he was more versatile. I don't think Stacy looked angry. I think you just didn't like her so you read something into her every move. And yes, Stacy and Drew were dancers beforehand. That gave them an edge over people who weren't dancers. So, to make the competition really fair, get ALL celebrity dancers who have had a background in dancing and can dance. But, that's not what they did, so the competition wasn't really fair. But, Jerry wasn't a dancer, and there he was, 2nd place. It goes to show anyone can win if they have enough popular votes.
Then I said I wished people would stop finding fault and just enjoy the show. That turned into – I was jealous and blah, blah, blah. What I really meant was, watch the show and enjoy it. Don't read things into it. I just watched and when it was over I didn't think about it anymore. I didn't stew over it and attack people over the internet. Geezh. Have you heard about road rage and what nutty people do on the internet? If this is an example of how people behave, it's scary. Some people can sing. Some people can dance. Some people can paint. Everybody has his or her own talent. Some are better than others. Each of us has an opinion, so if 30 people watched the show, there were 30 opinions. What is wrong with having an opinion? Please, just stop the insanity. I think Drew is excellent. I think every single one of the celebrities was a good sport. Imagine getting out there and doing that in front of millions of people. Some excelled and some didn't. So, Drew won. What did he get? Some trophy. It's not as though he won millions of dollars and the Nobel Peace Prize. I can't get over the nasty posts. I was just having an opinion, but that's not allowed if I don't agree with you. And, next time, don't assume I mean something when I say something very simple. You people are just sick.

But I've been reading all the posts, and it sure sounds like the low classed slut lived up to her reputation. She can't stand it when she's not worshipped, can't take critism, and is just pure trash. Oh, she didn't get a win handed to her. The nerve!!!

To Mary: You were the first one to assume " Just because she's beautiful and did well, people want to pick at her." How do you know that? So first, don't assume if you want others to assume about your posts. That sentence is another way of saying "you are jealous of how beautiful she is." I'd give her credit for her "injured" foot if she hasn't used that as an excuse. It didn't look injured to me. She danced the Jive very well. That was just an excuse. No credit for that. Even if Stacy won, they would've been controversy. And it would've been worse because Stacy did not deserve 1st place. There's nothing wrong about having an opinion. But you didn't respect what their opinions on what they said about your posts, so don't complain. Throughout the competition people have been calling others "jealous" "idiots" just because they didn't like Stacy. Do you think that's fair? No.

People can't have any fun because people take these Reality shows so much to heart that they get angry and start threatening people. It's a TV SHOW. Get over it.
True, but the ones who started were Stacy's fans. Why? Everyone had their opinion on her and the whole show, yet the so called "fans" kept attacking us for liking someone else. If you want to blame someone, blame them. And now that the show is over, they're starting again.

After Stacy was voted off last night, I switched to a movie channel. That indicated to me that this program is only a popularity contest. Anyone could see that Stacy could dance while Jerry was stiff and did little more than stand while Anna danced circles around him. Same for Master P. How did he stay on for so long? He didn't even pick up his feet! This is my last time following this program. I don't think the public should be allowed to vote – leave it up to the judges!

If it was up to the judges, they would've still picked Drew. I agree, Jerry wasn't the best, but at least he didn't dance the same thing over and over and he didn't make up excuses and took up criticism like a man and was a good loser. That's something Stacy doesn't have. That's why she didn't win. We all see it coming. Stacy was in the bottom 2 the 2 past weeks. So it's not surprising. Oh, but yeah if Stacy would've won, of course it would fair, right?

I'm "assuming" people are jealous of Stacy because she didn't make faces. She wasn't angry. People were making things up that weren't there. You can make somebody seem bad or good, depending on how you slant it. Anyhow, I don't care if she was 3rd or 10th. I have a life beyond this thread. So, stay here and argue about a silly tv show. They won. They didn't win. She said. He said. Junior high.

I guess you are too blind to notice because you like Stacy. She could've won, but picked the same thing over and over. That's not professional. She came up with excuses and that's not professional. She wasn't a good "loser", and that's not professional.

Watch the entertainment news and pay attention the the video clips of Stacy. You will see the angry face. Watch the clips again and pay attention. Forget the fact you like Stacy. I used to like her until she started to do the same thing over and over, then her attitude. Now, if you still don't see it, then that's your problem.

To Reality TV Magazine:
The talent of last year's American Idol winner was recently validated when she won an Emmy. If Jerry had won I'm sure all hell would have broken loose in the media regarding what a joke DWTS is in comparison to its popular competition. The point of your article – that the judges were in a position to make sure Jerry lost and so save the show's reputation – was interesting. However, whether the judges did this or not or whether they should have another vote after the final tally is in (that can alter the result) found little comment here. Instead, this thread like all of the previous ones on DWTS continues to be dominated by a person or people who feel they must use it to trash Stacy Kiebler who, since she could not win if the article's assumptions are correct, was not relevant to the thread at all. In the future, it is probably best if you have people log in. That way it will be easy for other readers to skip over postings from those individuals who are just obsessing about a single topic for whatever reason they have to do so.

This is a perfect example of the idiotic Stacy "fans" Just because we didn't like her, doesn't mean we're jealous. And I'm a guy. I guess it would be more fair to say I'm jealous of Drew or someone else. Stacy did not deserve it. She deserved it way before she started to dance Jive 5 times in a row and same coreography. Then her attitude. Then she made up excuses.

Carrie wasn't supposed to win. She wasn't the best singer in the competition and she was ignorant, so there you go, but people liked her. Her album was a success. If American Idol was rigged, Carrie wouldn't have sold so many albums.

Who LOOKED the best? Stacie. And, it not only came down to who the viewers LIKED best, it's also about who the viewers DID NOT like. It's impossible for women to like Stacie. Why? She's a perfect 10 herself. There's no way any of you could sit there and watch her dance and not be jealous. It's human nature. But you'll never admit it, maybe because you don't even know it.

Woah, this has gone too far. How dare you guys accuse each other or accuse the viewers? How do you know it's true? You call people who didn't vote for Stacy jealous? Tsk tsk, remember guys also voted. Stacy has been in the bottom 2 for 2 weeks in a row. If there was really "jealousy" she would've been eliminated since Day 1. Admit it. You want people to admit, but admit that Stacy didn't do a good job last week. That cost her 1st place. She danced the Jive like 4-5 times already. That's why people decided to vote for Jerry so he can get in 2nd place at least. At least he did a much better job last week. Get over it, and go on with your lives.
If you don't like Stacy, you are jealous.
If you don't like Lisa, you are jealous.
If you don't like Drew, you are jealous.
If you didn't vote for anyone, you are jealous.
So what if you hate your teachers? Can we say you are jealous, too? What if someone likes the tv series Lost, but other doesn't. Does that mean the person is jealous of the cast? Stacy is not the prettiest in the world. There are people who don't like Stacy, but like Lindsay Lohan, or Keira Kneightley. So, if you don't like someone's opinion, that makes you jealous, too. You have to like EVERYONE because if you don't, you are jealous.

It doesn't matter if the man/woman has little or no talent, just get him/her up there. That's not saying much for you at all. I have a solution for the next dance show:
Make this one all black. Then see how long a MasterP or Jerry would last if they were chosen by talent and not color. Next year we turn tables and make it all white. Isn't it nice that we're going back so far when we're supposed to come together.

Jerry Rice is a millionare, I'm sure he could care less if he won this competion or not. He got to dance with the beautiful Russian girl for weeks. It's easy to understand how he could be happy for the winner if it was Stacy or Drew. I think the right person won, but I don't think Stacy should be that upset. Everyone knows her name and tons of people want to see more of her. She's a winner too.

What's the point of this article? Who cares whether Jerry or Drew won the public vote? That's why they designed the show so that popularity only counts for 50%. It's a safeguard to ensure that bad dancers won't win based on how popular they are in spite of their ineptitude.
If anything needs to be looked into, it's why the judges gave Jerry the same score they gave Drew when they are not even close to being on the same level. I'd understand if Jerry had at least shown marked improvement over the course of the show and they were grading him on that, but his final cha-cha was no better than his first. I'd also like someone to investigate why they even had this last dance that the public couldn't vote on.
As for Stacy and the idea that all women have to dislike her and be jealous of her out of human nature, what a load of bull. Her own female opponents talked glowingly of how nice she is. Please don't assume that just because you can't breathe when you see her she's having this affect on everyone else. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Heck, I never even got why so many women drool over Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Josh Holloway is much more drool-worthy.
Stacy has a very pretty face, but I'm not jealous of her. No offense to the other long-legged women out there, but I just don't get why unusually long limbs are considered attractive. No, the reason I didn't support her in this dance contest (and it was a dance contest, not a beauty pageant) is that she was a RINGER with 15 or 16 years of dance training.
The "they're just jealous" accusation is an age old cop-out people use when they don't want to tolerate opposing views. It's a cheap way to cut off an argument without having to entertain the idea that they may be wrong. Since people can't read minds it's impossible to prove you're not jealous once you've been accused, and so the accuser walks away feeling smug no matter how much you insist they're wrong.

Whoever it was that said, " If American Idol was rigged, Carrie wouldn't have sold so many albums," hasn't been paying any attention to how many albums Rueben or Fantasia have sold. Kelly and Carrie are the only ones to have done really great, mostly just Kelly. As for race and what MLK might have thought about the DWTS voting, that is no issue. The only issue is whether they can dance. If they aired a vintage competition between Bo Jangles, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freedom, Denzel Washington, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and Beyonce Knowles the question of "race" would never enter my head and if Bill Cosby danced better than Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly (assuming they were each by magic I suppose performing at the height of their careers) I would still want the best dancer to win regardless, so if Jerry did get the most votes for any reason other than being the best dancer then you are right, MLK probably would have a problem with it because this is supposed to be a best dancing show and not Mr or Ms America.

I seriously dunno where they that idea of everyone being jealous of Stacy just because they voted for someone else. It's dumb. I haven't seen anyone who hasn't said that Stacy isn't pretty. They were all sharing their OPINIONS(if you don't respect them, don't expect respect back) and were talking about things that really happened.
1) She has had a sleazy attitude when Lisa was eliminated. If you didn't pay attention, then don't say it isn't true. You can always watch repetitions and take pics and link them through here.
2) She has bn in the bottom 2 twice (past 2 weeks).
3) She used the "foot" excuse to justify why she didn't dance Freestyle well. I saw her dancing Jive very well (the least you can expect after dancing it 5 times) and then the foot didn't hurt, but of course what a coincidence, it hurt just when she was about to do freestyle. There is no excuse for great dancers. She had the chance to prove she deserved to be at least in 2nd place, but didn't. If 1000+ people noticed her bad attitude last week, but only 6 people didn't, the mayority will always will.
We saw everything coming. So, the only part that's a popularity vote is Jerry's part, but we all knew that since the beginning. Stacy wouldn't have won at all. See, her votes were so low, that even with a perfect score last night, she couldn't even beat Jerry. I was in Dancing with the Stars forums and saw that the mayority voted for Drew, then second Jerry and last Stacy. And that was from women. I've only seen about 2 guys who voted for Stacy. Call the guys jealous now.
If you want people to admit they might be "jealous" then admit Stacy didn't do a good job. Until then, don't complain or talk about admitting things.

If you want to know what jealous means here:
Someone is jealous of Stacy when they post how "ugly" she is.
When someone posts that she doesn't deserve to live because of her legs.
When you vote for someone who isn't Stacy(apparently this is the new rule. We're all jealous because we didn't vote for her. How immature).
Now THAT would be jealousy. If someone comments on someone else's behavior doesn't mean they're jealous. They've never attacked Stacy because of her body. Read carefully, it was:
1)Her behavior
2)How she was selling her body to win votes. Check out other Dancing with the Stars blogs to find links. She even said before the photo shoots that they should vote for her, or she'd kick their butts. Of course the butt part might've been a joke…or was it?
3)The way she reacted when she was in the bottom 2 and when Lisa was eliminated(compare behavior to Jerry's last night).
Do you see anything attacking her beauty? Do you see anything that says "omg she's fugly ugly." Calling someone "slut" doesn't make them jealous either. We all have different views of what a slut is. If some people think that Stacy acts "slutty" leave them. They're not attacking her beauty either. So get over it.

Anyone that dances knows that Jerry did not deserve to be in the final 3, if the show was based on dancing.
Jerry's response to the judges low scores and negative comments were always the same. He would always say how hard he works and deserves to win because of that and where he came from not being a dancer.
Well, if being rewarded as the winner comes from hard work and your background, there would be a ton of gold medal winners at the Olympics!!

I think it's true about Jerry. He and the other couples who didn't have a dancing background made the show true. The show is about celebrities who have never danced professionally. If we're talking about sticking to the rules, then Lisa or Jerry should've won anyway. They're the only ones who have improved week by week. Lisa improved the most, so she should've won. But, Jerry didn't win, so all good. Lisa should've placed 2nd then Jerry.

I feel like I flashed back to the Bush/Gore election of 2000! Drew won, Jerry is more popular because he's the most-well-known out of any of them. Stacy was in 3rd place for doing the Travolta that no one but Travolta should ever do in a competition. Judges votes are like the electoral college in the US elections, and the popular votes are like the ones in the real election as well. Just because Jerry might have gotten more call in votes did not guarantee him a win, since the judges votes in the end mean more, despite the 50/50 split. In the end, it was a cute dance contest for a trophy, not to decide who is President, so who cares who won? No one's life changed.

"Hey, Jerry is right. He has worked hard and everyone who works hard deserves to win."
EXCUSE ME??? So at the Olympics, since all the athletes work hard, they should just hand out gold medals to everyone? Jerry was in the NFL — do they give Super Bowl trophies to everyone just because they work hard? NO — these awards are presented to the BEST. And anyone who watched this show with even the tiniest bit of objectivity would have to admit that Jerry was absolutely, positively, unquestionably NOT the best dancer. Did he work hard? Of course. Did he have a great attitude? No doubt. Do I admire his perseverance to stick with it and challenge himself? Absolutely. His dancing definitely improved from week to week. But saying someone has improved and saying they're the best are two very different things. Jerry was a true gentleman over the course of the show, and if that's what you based your votes on, fine — that's your choice. But please don't try to claim that he was the best dancer just because he "worked hard." Y'know what? They ALL worked hard. (Well, maybe not Master P or Kenny, but that's another story…

I can not believe that over 24 hours have passed since the final decision and people are still discussing who deserved what,who is angry, who is jealous, etc. It was a silly dance contest. Everyone worked hard and there could only be one winner. Enough with the personal attacks. No one can determine who a person is from a snapshot on TV. Everyone who has first hand experience with Stacy and Drew will tell you that they are both nice people who are a joy to be around. Stop the ridiculous high school attacks(he's gay, she's stuckup, he's short, she's a slut, your jealous, no- your jealous, etc.)The simple truth is that more viewers preferred Drew for whatever reason. The notion that people actully voted based on how well each person danced is laughable. Everyone had their favorite and that's how they voted. That's the way it is in these type of contest. If the viewers did not vote the audience would not feel as attached to the show and the viewership would decline. Drew had a very large fan base of gender and age group that tends to vote en masse. Stacy's fan base is much smaller and tends to watch and not to vote. The beauty of the show is that Stacy actually ends up the big winner. All of America got to see her style, grace and beauty and she will no doubt benefit from the exposure. Drew will hopefully parlay this into additional Broadway roles or even TV. There is no need for an further attacks on anyone. Everyone did a great job and everyone came out a winner.

In order to make this a fair competition you need to make break this into three parts for the points. 1. Judge dancing by the judges. 2. Judge dancing by the people. 3. Judge popularity by the people. Make the breakdown as 50% for part 1, 25% for part 2, and 25% for part 3. That would make this a more enjoyable show and more fun to watch. Just an idea.

The scoring set up is purely a popularity contest and given that fact had the judges not slammed Mr. P he may have won. There needs to be a change if this show is going to be taken seriously as they eliminated the better dancers rather than the weaker ones all along; what a joke. The final probably should have been Drew & Cheryl, Stacey & Tony and Lisa & Louie. Personally I feel the most viable winner would have been Stacey & Tony as they truly epitomized 'Ballroom Dancing' which I think the show was supposed to display. Drew & Cheryl although great were more resembling dances not typical of Ballroom dancing.
For the record since it's obvious by some of the posts, Stacey was injured prior to Thursday's event and revealed during the show and yet she still danced for both shows. That may not be considered 'risky' by some but it displayed the class that she always displayed and she and Tony were the clear Ballroom dancers if anyone truly gave it any thought.

This is a TV show. The producer and ABC first and formost want to be policticaly correct. Most of all they want the rateings. Danceing ability is the least concideration. We saw that on show one. A woman won the first show. A man had to win the second show. If Jerry's danceing had been better he could have won. Show three will be won by a black person. No raceism intended. Just what's the best for the rateings, and being policticaly correct. Forget about who's the best dancer, or the public vote. The only thing the public vote means to the producer and ABC is to show the sponcer how many are watching. That is what determends the cost of the comercials. Even if they showed us the vote, it could be what ever they wanted it ot be.

I agree in a way, but Stacy and Tony picked the same thing about 5 times. I don't think that shows the real good dancer she is. I give her credit for going out there with an "injured" foot. I don't think it was right for her to use it as an excuse. It's her fault that she decided to dance like that. I doubt she still was with her foot injured when she danced on Thursday. She danced the Jive pretty well for having an injured foot. I think she needs to admit she didn't do a good job with the free style.

You people are really STUPID if you believe this show is anything but a ratings generator for the network.
1. The show's results had nothing to do with who was the better dancer. The results were a popularity contest.
2. Jerry is a popular BLACK football player. He surely wasn't the second best dancer. If he had been white he would have been gone before Lesa.
3. Drew was selected by as the winner by female viewers who VOTED. He wasn't even the second best dancer! He was not selected as the winner because of his dancing abilities.
4. Stacy was by far the most talented dancer but never had a chance of winning since the fans that liked her were the men who by and large did not vote for anyone! She was constantly trashed by women who disliked her looks.
5. As long as this show involves viewer participation in the selection of the winner it has no credability as a dance contest and will remain a popularity contest.

it didnt matter if Jerry got the popular vote, as for the rules Drew won, there is no controversy here so stop trying to make it seem taht way. Lisa and Louis should have been in the finals over Jerry anyday, Lisa mastered Ballroom more so than Jerry did, he didnt even dance correctly, the show should follow an elimination to that of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, on FOX. audience votes for final 3, and judges eliminate the ones they think is the worst…anyway…
judges points:
Drew and Cheryl–3
Stacey and Tony–2
Jerry and Anna–1
if viewers votes were, Jerry, Drew, Stacey:
*jerry gets second because of the public vote, DREW WINS
if it went Drew, Jerry, Stacey:
Jerry is second, DREW WINS
if it went Stacey, Drew, Jerry
Jerry is THIRD, STACEY WINS, b/c of the public tie
if it went Stacey Jerry Drew
Jerry is THIRD, Stacey wins
the only way that jerry could have possibly won is if Jerry won popular vote, hen Stacey and then Drew, making the points 4-4-4 and jerry woul dhave won b/c of the viewer tiebreaker and the Stacey and then Drew….
THIS IS NO CONTROVERSY SO DONT MAKE IT ONE, jerry did not desrve to be int he finals over lisa or even tia, i commend him for trying and he did well but he was no where as good a dancer as lisa or tia by far!

clearly, since Ducati lost their brief tyre advantage it has been a progressive downhill. Nevertheless, those that think Hayden could do better with the Zuki are dreaming- really. At best - Hayden could do marginally better - it is not that he would be setting the GP world on fire with a different bike. But perhaps a zuki ride would appease Hayden fans and Hayden's doggedness of being ONLY a full Factory rider - accepting nothing less.
In any case, Hayden has been playing the "aw, shucks" guy for a number of years - quietly making excuses that keeps his fan base in the US happy and insure that he keeps his job as a factory rider. Although it would be interesting to see if Hayden would actually move to Suzuki IF they venture back into GP.

WASHINGTON — It's hard to sing and sometimes hard to remember.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is a challenge for even professional singers, who have stumbled over it at venues like the Super Bowl.
But it is also the national anthem, the patriotic musical symbol of the United States sung before every major sporting and government event, stirring deep feelings in the citizenry. The words were written by lawyer Francis Scott Key to honor the flag flying over Baltimore's Fort McHenry in what was a turning point against the British during the War of 1812.
And so the anthem is getting its glorious due in its 200th anniversary year, appropriately beginning on Flag Day, starting with a kickoff event at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History on Saturday, where the manuscript has been paired for the first time with the actual flag that inspired it, the 30-foot-by-42-foot banner that endured "the rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in air."

"People sing the song all the time, but don't know anything about it," said Jennifer Jones, a curator and expert on military history at the museum. "These words that we sing were inspired by this flag. Having them in the same place at the same time is exciting."
Curiously, it has been the nation's official national anthem only since 1931, when Congress approved it after a groundswell of support led by composer and musician John Philip Sousa. Until then, it was one of several patriotic melodies featured at official or military proceedings.
The lyrics were written Sept. 16, 1814, by Key as a poem after he watched the Battle of Baltimore on Sept. 13-14 from a ship in the harbor. He saw the enormous flag "at dawn's early light" — a relief for the young American democracy.
"Key was a gentleman poet," Laura Rodini, marketing director of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, said. The society owns the manuscript and is loaning it to the Smithsonian through July 6. "He wanted to capture the moment."
Key was on the ship to secure release of a physician held hostage by the British. He penned the four verses on a single sheet and called it "The Defence of Fort McHenry," in honor of the defenders of the fort. Defenders' Day, Sept. 12, is a state holiday in Maryland.
But the verses, published in a newspaper and widely distributed, immediately became popular. And Key's description of the flag as "The Star-Spangled Banner" became the name of the song and also came to refer to the giant flag made by Mary Pickersgill.
As for the music, historians say Key had in mind a specific popular tune, "To Anacreon in Heaven," which has been widely described as a drinking song. Library of Congress music specialist Loras John Schissel explained in an interview that the tune, honoring Greek poet Anacreon, became a drinking song for the gentlemen's club called the Anacreontic Society, but a more high-minded one than the term suggests.
But why is the anthem so hard to sing?
"It's 2 ½ octaves," Jones said. "Most people don't have a 2 ½ -octave range."
Added Schissel: "It was written for a man who had an extremely high voice."
He said that singers who start in A flat instead of B flat can get through the song successfully.
But that does require remembering the words, which pop star Christina Aguilera did not do successfully at the beginning of Super Bowl XLV in February 2011. Others also have flubbed the lyrics or the tune, though this year there was relief all over social media that Super Bowl organizers brought in an opera superstar, soprano Renée Fleming, to do the honors. As BuzzFeed put it, "She absolutely killed it."

Surprise! Teens Either Don't Know or Don't Care How Many Calories Are in Fast Food
What'd you expect?
A new study conducted by Harvard Medical School found that people are largely unaware of the amount of calories in fast food — and teens are the most clueless. It's not shocking news that high-school kids think they're eating a 497-calorie meal when it's actually 756, and that Subway is the most deceiving chain. But if caloric information is more readily available, will young people actually give a shit? Should they? Even if teens are aware that McDonald's Egg-White McMuffin is 250 calories, that doesn't mean it's actually healthy (it's got high-fructose corn syrup and tons of preservatives). Once they're inside fast-food franchises, kids are going to go crazy regardless of calorie counts. The real issue is getting them to not go into these places at all. [Earlier, CBS]

First there was a short blast of rain. Then came the rainbow. Then it was time for the ribbon cutting.
It made for a natural setting for the ceremony as a number of Bedford residents and local officials gathered to officially mark the opening of the Bedford Urban Garden (BUG) on Jackson Street.
Liberty High School (LHS) took the National D-Day Memorial up on its offer to waive educational fees for student group visits last week. Although Forest Middle School has routinely brought student groups to the Memorial, Martin Leamy, the Memorial's site manager, said this is LHS's first large group visit.
This past Saturday, May 14, soldiers from Bedford's Company A marched from the Armory to the National D-Day Memorial for their departure ceremony.
More than 750 family members, friends and well wishers from the community gathered for the send off. Saturday was also the first day of Armed Forces Week.
The Bedford Police Department is participating in an Open Data Initiative sponsored by the White House in an effort to help law enforcement be more transparent to the public.
Bedford Police Chief Todd Foreman, Assistant Town Manager Bart Warner and IT specialist Christie Crouch attended a one-day seminar last month in Washington D.C. at the White House as part of joining that initiative.
An alleged argument at a Bedford residence has led to two people being charged with discharging a firearm in an occupied dwelling and felony child neglect.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
I will fully admit when I first saw the headline of Lifehacker's recent post, "How to Futureproof Your Job with a Career Insurance Policy," I was really hoping that a major insurance company had branched out into providing us all with a success safety net. Despite my disappointment in learning that I wouldn't get to see a gecko or a human disaster area selling me career insurance in a television ad anytime soon, I found the actual advice very useful.
The full post is here and worth a read, as always. But in summary, if you want to protect yourself against the slings and arrows of career misfortune, you need to follow these steps:
1. Save your money.
Everyone from Suze Orman to your mom has told you this, but it's still true: You need an emergency fund.
2. Keep learning.
Picking up new skills makes you a more desirable hire, allows you to switch careers with greater ease, and just plain makes you feel less stressed out in your present job.
3. Network, network, network.
Go out to coffee with old coworkers. Connect with people online. Join a professional association. Most of us have the urge to roll our eyes and groan when we hear the word "network," but it's really just a corporate way of saying that you need to make friends in your industry and participate in your community.
4. Update your resume -- and then don't hide your light under a bushel.
It's amazing how often we neglect to update our resumes to reflect new skills, new titles, and even brand-new jobs. Even if we're on top of that, we might be reluctant to brag about our abilities. Forget about all that. It's not bragging if it's true, and as Alan Henry points out, you can promote yourself without being sleazy.
5. Try to make money off of your hobbies.
There's nothing like a second income stream to allay your fears of professional failure.

The Gustavus baseball team extended its winning streak to six games with a doubleheader sweep over Bethel on Monday afternoon in St. Peter. In the first game, Gustavus jumped out to a 4-0 lead and held on for a 5-3 win, and in the second game, the Gusties built a 6-1 lead and then held on for a 6-5 victory. Pat Siering had a big day at the plate going 5-for-6 with 2 RBI, while David Wold limited the Royals to five hits in seven innings and picked up the win on the mound in game one. The Gusties are now 14-8 overall and 6-0 in the MIAC.
Game one started off as a pitcher's duel as the Gusties Dave Wold and the Royals Isaac Hamilton allowed only one hit between them in the first three innings and that was a two-out single by Gustavus' Pat Siering in the bottom of the first inning. The Gustavus got on the board first scoring twice in the fourth inning on doubles by Siering, Shea Roehrkasse, and Robby Wiens. Bethel's Dana Hegman broke up Dave Wold's perfect game with a single to start the top of the fifth inning, but the Royals would not be able to get Hegman across the plate. Gustavus would score two more times in the fifth inning as Tyler Kaus singled to drive home Pat Ruff who had reached on an error and then Siering continued his big day with a double that scored Kaus to make the score 4-0 in favor of the Gusties. Bethel broke up the shutout in the sixth inning when Tim Oesterlin singled to drive in Bob Tokar from second base. Gustavus added an insurance run in the sixth inning when Pat Ruff singled and later scored on a sacrific fly Tyler Kaus. Bethel battled back with two runs in the top of the seventh inning, but Wold shut the door inducing the final two batters to ground out which allowed the Gusties to claim their fifth straight win by the score of 5-3.
Senior pitcher Dave Wold turned in a stellar performance on the mound for Gustavus as he scattered five hits, while striking out three and walking one. Pat Siering was 3-for-3 at the plate with two doubles, and a single, while also driving in a run and scoring a run.
In the second game, Bethel took a 1-0 lead when Tyler Kramer homered in the top of the first inning. Gustavus tied the score at 1-1 in the bottom of the second. The Gusties then extended their lead to 6-1 with three runs in the bottom of the fourth and two more in the fifth. Gustavus and pitcher Cody Sukalski were cruising along with a 6-1 lead in the sixth inning when the Royals scored four runs on a grand slam by Bob Tokar which trimmed the Gustie lead to 6-5. Gustavus failed to score in the bottom of the sixth, but Charlie Cicalello shut Bethel down in the top of the seventh preserving the Gustie victory and a sweep in the series. Cody Sukalski earned the win on the mound as he pitched 5 2/3 innings allowing 10 hits and five earned runs. Charlie Cicalello earned the save by shutting the Royals down in the seventh inning. Shea Roehrkasse had a big game at the plate as he went 3-for-3 with one RBI and two runs scored. Three other players picked up two hits including Tyler Kaus, Pat Siering, and Andrew Woitas.
Gustavus improves to 14-8 overall and 6-0 in MIAC play, while Bethel falls to 9-11 overall and 1-4 in the MIAC.

Lancaster MA Car Accident Lawyer
Leominster ● Fitchburg ● Worcester Rollover Accident Lawyers
SUV Rollover ● Semi Truck Rollover ● Motor Vehicle Rollover
Motor vehicle accidents that involve a car or truck that rolled over often result in very serious injuries to car and truck drivers and passengers. Some vehicles - like pick-up trucks, SUVs and oversized vans that are top-heavy are more likely to tip over than sedans or coupes. Car manufacturers are aware of the connection between a higher center of gravity and an increased propensity to rollover in an accident. Consumer groups have lobbied car manufacturers and Congress to institute design changes and safety features which to date, have not always been heeded by car makers. If you were injured in an SUV or semi truck rollover accident, you may need extensive medical treatment or rehabilitation. You may be unable to return to work for a long time or never be able to work again.
