Dancing With The Stars results: are they rigged?

The stars that had the lowest judges scores, like Kate Gosselin, are nevertheless on the show. The first star booted was Shannen Doherty, who had a middle of the road judging score. Did voting really favor a star that seems to need money now, or did the producers have a black hand in this DWTS result?

DWTS Results

Are the Dancing With The Stars results rigged?

Producers do have quite a bit of say in how DWTS is produced, just like every other “reality” show. Some are starting to dwell on if the producers of Dancing With The Stars are now producing the scores, too. Before voting, Kate Gosselin was assumed to be the next DWTS elimination. If Kate Gosselin was not going to be eliminated by DWTS results, Buzz Aldrin had the biggest point deficit for making up. Instead, one of one of the most popular dancers – Pamela Anderson – ended up in the bottom two along with Shannen. Are the producers of DWTS monkeying with the results to create more drama? Or is the mom of eight pulling in enough votes to keep her in the spot legitimately? What do you think?
