Sean Spencer is still on because Stupid Huckabee told the evangelicals to keep calling and
keep the good Christian on there. 🤮

4. I don't watch this at all, so why is he still on. He has no flow, his movements are mechanical.

Are the other contestants worse than him? Hard to believe.

...are calling in their votes to keep this clod on the show. Very deserving competitors have been sent home because of this. It is a repeat of the Bristol Palin debacle. She made it to the finale, with absolutely no talent.

7. Well then the producers didn't learn their lesson did they?

I would think that kind of illegitimate elimination would discourage true celebrities from participating. But the producers must be RWer's. They had Palin and Spicer on. Wasn't Rick Perry on it as well? Ever any left leaning contestants?

...fans such as I, think that was because last fall, a completely awful dancer won due to fan votes. A guy by the name of Bobby Bones. A radio personality, IIRC, that I'd never heard of before the show. The judges were shocked, the other finale contestants were shocked, and non-Bones fans were pissed. ABC took some heat for it.

Host Tom Bergeron was not in favor of Spicer being selected:

Besides Rick Perry and Bristol Palin, they have had Tom Delay and Tucker Carlson. Bristol is the only one who got very far. She clomped around like she was wearing cement overshoes. Utterly execrable.

No record of any Democratic politicians or staffers being on DWTS
