DWTS is a pure Voting Democracy in action, apparently the “real” fans who are upset would rather have DWTS as a Republic with checks and balances and all that ‘nonsense’.

Teaching moment?

I was thinking the same thing. Popular vote for president?

I've watched a few of the DWTS episode simply because of Bristol. She is not very good but since the libs are making a big deal out of it ..
I'll vote for her. never bothered to vote in the past be will this time.

Actually, that's not true.

Bristol may actually have lost, several times already. BUT, the producers wanted to gamble on the controversy that keeping Bristol would produce, which would bring more viewers.

IT WORKED.

There is a check and balance: The judges.

The three judges' votes count for fifty percent of the total score. Millions of votes by millions of viewers count for the other fifty percent.

Details here at ABC's website.

It’s not a democracy because you can vote as many times as you like...but that’s how all those type of shows work.
