This week's Dancing With the Stars results show was the worst show of the entire season by far. It made me remember why I quit watching American Idol last season. Seriously, I understand stars having fans, but when do they become so blind that they can't see the forest from the trees?

To say that Sabrina & Mark being eliminated this week is a shock would be a gross understatement. It is true that they didn't have their greatest night of dancing on Monday evening but going into the results show they were tied for 5th place with Cameron & Edyta. (Jane & Tony and Marie & Jonathan were ranked last and next-to-last place by the way.) However, Sabrina & Mark have danced their behinds off all season long so far and it's showed. They've been consistently ranked at the top, with harder dances and better routines might I add, while Jane and Marie and their partners have been given the easier dances complete with less complicated choreography that was designed to suit their now glaringly obvious lack of abilities.

Before I get jumped on too badly, I admit that Sabrina has much more dance experience than the other contestants have or have had. Some even say that she should never have been allowed to be on the show because of this. I also know that the results come down to the fans actually spending their time voting via phone and email. Simply put, Sabrina's fans didn't vote.

But how could anybody really think that Marie Osmond and Jane Seymour are better dancers than Sabrina? That just boggles my mind. The judges didn't think so on Monday night and they haven't thought so all season long. I realize the season is at the point where the wheat has to be separated from the chaff but come on already! Marie and Jane are obviously not the wheat and Sabrina is not the chaff.

To have both Marie and Jane Seymour safe from elimination is ludicrous! If both of them don't dance at the same level as the remaining competitors next week and still make it through then I will proclaim the show rigged -- just as I thought American Idol was last season when Sanjaya kept making it through week after awful week.

I don't have anything against either of these ladies -- I really don't. But let's call a spade a spade. They're not at the same level as the other dancers now and I don't think they will be next week either. Their fans should let them go gracefully instead of making them the Sanjaya of DWTS. Neither Marie nor Jane strike me as the type of woman that would want that.

What do you think about Sabrina leaving ahead of Marie and Jane? Deserved or not?
