00:00Back to back weeks now I watched as two contestants who are slowly improving on Dancing with the Stars have
00:05been booted off the show and then I get online and I see that so many fans are complaining about
00:10this exact thing so I asked the question can the system should the system be fixed because while I love
00:16being a part of this fan base the discourse has given me a headache so this week despite getting her
00:21highest score of the season and being told by the judges that it was her best dance of the season
00:25it was Sierra Miller and Brandon Armstrong who went home and I'll be honest
00:29I think she started off incredibly rocky but I think she was becoming the kind of dancer the kind of
00:35contestant that I wanted to watch week after week they were starting to infuse her personality in her dance I
00:40was starting to see her heart in all of her packages and all of those things are the winning type
00:45of formula for a contestant and last week of course it was Taylor Hansen and his partner Britt Stewart who
00:50I think were getting more dynamic with their dances and the outrage with these back to back eliminations has led
00:55to a lot of discourse online about whether or not they should bring the judges save back whether or not
00:59they should bring the judges save back
00:59whether or not they should weigh the judges scores versus the viewer votes differently because a lot of people think
01:06that someone like Guillermo who has consistently gotten really low scores should not be able to be saved by viewer
01:12votes alone and I don't even want to dip my toe into the conversation about how much the judges score
01:17should be weighted against the viewer votes should it be 70-30 like I know a lot of people are
01:21talking about that once you introduce math into the equation it becomes a whole bigger conversation but I do think
01:27that there are two things they can do to make it
01:29better in the next season one being that we need to go back to 12 or less contestants because bigger
01:35is not always better this last week was the first week that I felt myself connecting to a lot of
01:40the contestants because they hadn't really gotten to get very personal in their packages before this ie Tyler Cameron talking
01:47about his mom and his reason to do the show and Tatiana Lee talking about the causes that matter to
01:52her that is the kind of personal detail and touch that makes you want to root for someone all the
01:57way through and then the second thing is that I do
01:59think they should bring back the judges save I don't even know if it would have been used in the
02:03case of Sierra or Taylor but I do think there's going to be an elimination coming up that they're going
02:08to want to step in on but those are just some of our thoughts let us know in the comments
02:11how you think the voting system should be changed if you think it should be changed at all
