Dancing with the Stars: Elimination Devastation

Dancing with the Stars's first castoff proves just how cockamamie the voting public is. It wasn't the lowest-scoring or even lowest-potential contestant who won a stiletto kick to the curb, but a middle-pack contender who'd done nothing to offend us so far. Which isn't to say we'd have never been offended. That was around the bend, to be sure. At any rate, let's mourn the lost jive-stepping soul after the jump.


Shannen Doherty? Really? I mean, she wasn't my vote to swoop up America's adoration like a robber baron, but I expected her to live another five weeks. Now her father can begin shedding tears of rage. I want red contact lenses in, Mr. Doherty!

We need to take Shannen's early demise (and Pamela Anderson's bottom-two standing!) as impetus to call in for middle-of-the-pack performers who deserve to survive over say, special learner Kate Gosselin. Are you happy, dialing public? Right. Charmed, I'm sure.
