Despite landing in last place for the second consecutive week, Chaz Bono will continue strutting his transgendered stuff on Dancing with the Stars. Going home: Kristin Cavallari, whose solid score of 24 points couldn't prevent her from being voted off the show. Recalling Bristol Palin's contentious run back in 2010 -- she continually received low scores from the judges only to get voted through week after week -- we wonder if the popular ABC show has little to do with dancing and everything to do with your popularity level.
But first, yesterday's poll: After the guy split up with Blake Lively, we wondered which of Leonardo DiCaprio's incredibly good looking ex-girlfriends was the sexiest. Turns out the majority of Zimbio readers feel Bar Refaeli wins that title. Even though his former fling Gisele may have more riches and name value, 52 percent of you prefer looking at the uncomfortably hot Israeli model.
But back to Dancing with the Stars. Bono scored six points lower than Cavallari, but had enough fan support to survive elimination. And as we mentioned earlier, Bristol Palin beat the odds last year when she rode a stuffed ballot -- not a mechanical bull -- into the final round. At the time, many questioned the integrity of the show, one that was meant to primarily showcase talented dancers, not just popular names.
When it came down to last night's elimination match up, Cavallari and Mark Ballas were pitted against goalie Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. And even though we doubt most Americans could spell Chmerkovskiy's last name if they were paid to try, the Russian survived, buoyed by the popularity of his soccer star partner.
When Solo and her teammates took on Japan in the Women's World Cup final this past July, a whopping 13.4 million viewers tuned in to watch. In comparison, just 2.1 million Americans saw the 2009 premiere of Cavallari's The Hills. So it's hard not to wonder if fans of the show were driven to vote for who they knew, rather than who could perform the best samba.
