Dancing with the...people who have the largest fan base

After tonight, I honestly don't know why I watch Dancing with the Stars anymore. I know that I'll watch to the end of this season just to see what happens, but it's getting fairly ridiculous. It started a few weeks ago when Sabrina didn't get enough votes to stay on the show. I thought maybe the upset would end there, but it didn't. Tonight, Jennie was the one to leave the show. Somehow, Marie managed to pull a miracle out of her butt and received enough votes to make it into the finals...along with Mel B and Helio.

It's not that Marie is terrible. She's OK, but it's only because she's a good performer. She's really not a great dancer. Sure, she pulls off a good number here or there, but she hasn't been consistently good the way that Sabrina, Mel B, or Helio are. And Jennie consistently got better and better as the show went on. So, it was a big shame for her to not get into the finals.

I don't know. At this point, it seems kind of useless for the show to even exist. It's mostly a popularity contest, and apparently enough people were blind enough to think that Marie deserves to go to the finals.
