It's good to learn that others find the "professional dancer" issue on DWTS to be irritating as well. It really takes the whole momentum out of the supposed contest, doesn't it?
For my own tastes, I am bored by those who cannot dance at all and never could even with training, as well as by those who dance for a living. But the audacity of the producers to so obviously gear the show toward Ms. Shesaringer's win was truly nauseating. They found yet another way to ruin the show, me fears.
To a segment of the viewing audience, I think Nicole's diva-like personality (I'm an artist, I'm not like other people."

) plus the blatant "fix" of the results will NOT help her greatly in her career, as she must have hoped it would.
I'm even surprised at the spread of negativity toward Derek as a result of this win. American's don't like a "fixed race" I think.
