I am as shocked as most of the others who commented above. I too will no longer watch this show. It is not fair that someone as talented as Katherine is eliminated (3 10's tonight) while Bill (one of the worst dancers) is still on the show and going to the finals. Something has to be done to change the voting on this show, or else the fans will no longer watch this show. This has happened before with some of the older well known professionals, who cannot dance, are voted in while others more talented are eliminated. I do not see it getting any better in the future. Sorry I cannot say anymore because I am still in shock as I am sure the judges were.

Your DWTS show has obvviously devolved into a popularity contest . The contestant Bill should have been gone three weeks ago , you should change your format, otherwise why have professional judges? The ignorant voting fans should not be allowed to override the good judgment of the professionals. We will not be tuning into this farce again. I am one of many many disgruntled fans .

So disappointed. Something needs to be done to revamp the voting process. Bill should have been eliminated if dancing skills are required to continue to the finals. What a beautiful evening of terrific dancing by the rest to end in such a "tragic" way. My husband and I are done watching for the season and we will miss it. Please be advised this is no reflection of Bill. We enjoyed his contribution to the show but going to the finals he should not be.

I've voted equally (3 phone and 3 computer) from the beginning, for Bill and Elizabeth. I believe that Bill is being carried through because voters are sick and tired of people with previous experience in some form of dance having the upper hand. Did they partner Amber with Derek because of all the comments about him always getting good partners every season? Amber has loads of personality and Derek has an emmy, but I have notice that her footwork is not always as it should be. Sympathy for her knees? Jack was all over the place as stated by the judges and yet they gave him 2 nines and an eight. What's up with that? Corbin even stated he had tap years ago and that helped him Fossie. DWTS started with the idea of most improved through the weeks. Are they saying that there aren't any stars that are novices at dance? It's time for Bill to go. Last night every one of my votes went to Leah and Tony; she definitely is the most improved this season and isn't that what its all about? Karina is getting a giant ego just like Derek. I hope they take off next season. One more comment: To make your vote count, you need to wait until after the elimination otherwise your vote is wasted.

One watches to see good quality dancing. Not the out of step candidates like Bill and Jack. Come on do we really have to go the entire season watching this joke? The judges have to step up to the plate and make it legit. Our family is done with it and will watch it one more time to see if the results warrant the talent. Judges get with it. Advice to candidates, be humble, have famous parents. You are going to start losing your fabulous professional dancers and your ratings.

wow can't believe that baffoon Bill is still on the show, he has no clue, no rhythm doesn't know how to dance, i'm disappointed with the show and the voting because it is obvious unfair and who wants to see good dancers be eliminated and having to continue to watch people that are horrible at dancing, if you could call it that. Too bad, it must old cronies that vote because this is ridiculous! It makes DWTS a joke!

There is no question in my mind about the illegitimate voting that put Elizabeth Berkley out of the contest. I am not particularly enchanted with her, but surely you cannot justify her elimination in favor of Bill (who simply cannot dance) and Emma. Val and Ellizabeth and Gleb were absolutely superb.

Listen, I vote every week for Bill and Emma. Some of those people are ALREADY dancers and to me that is NOt what the show is about!!! It's about trying to LEARN HOW to dance.

Tonight was a travesty and after previous shocking results, has put the show off my watching list. The voting seems fishy. Almost like the outcome has been per-determined, and dancing is not part of the outcome!!!

A total injustice. Popularity should not exceed talent. Your show has lost all credibility. I have watched all of the seasons from the beginning of Dancing With the Stars; however, I have no further viewing interest.
