8. has to do with the way votes are weighed vs. scores
DWTS emphasizes the popular vote over the judges scores so its entirely possible for the person with the worst dancing scores to stay and compete near the top if they get enough votes...I've been a dance instructor and one of the reasons I've stopped watching DWTS (besides putting on total douchebags like the Situation along with Palin's brat) is often one obviously less talented person gets alot farther then they should. MOST of the time, the right person wins (in that they are the best dancer) but its common for a sucky but popular person to get into the top 3 or 4.
