Comedian David Alan Grier (known as DAG) to his friends and fans, was voted off to his surprise. It wasn't a surprise to those who get the show. Dancing With the Stars is all about the fan base. Of course the judges weigh in but if one doesn't have fans that vote, one is doomed. Steve-O has a MTV generation that loves him. Lawrence Taylor has a football base, Shawn Johnson as an Olympic Gold Medalist has numerous gymnastic enthusiasts, Melissa Rycroft Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and Bachleor reject has a sympathy base besides her excellent dancing ability, Ty Murray bull rider & Chuck Wicks have a huge country/cowboy fan base. The sexy Gilles Marini left a lasting-lingering impression because of his nude scenes in SEX AND THE CITY movie that coincedently is playing non stop on HBO and available on DVDs for several months, has both male and female fans. Marini's dancing has been steller. And of course he is easy on the eye. Lil Kim has a huge Rap/music base, an urban audience, a "Paris Hilton"/bad girl gone good type of following and a growing number of new fans that are wowed by her dancing. David didn't get the "Fan Thang".
If you don't have fans and treat them well and reach out to them, you get booted off the show. Simple as that. No matter how good you are if you start bitching at the judges because you think you are better than your scores or some one else's, you are bitching up the wrong tree. Although David may have been mad at the judges, he needs to understand that.
