If anybody thinks that fans for all of the celebrities aren't voting from as many email addresses and from as many telephones as they can, they're kidding themselves.

Skill, Schmill. America Truly Idolizes Spunk.

If ever anyone needed proof that this is a culture that goes bonkers for the underdog, please turn to "Dancing With the Stars" and contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur. This week she was saved by the audience's vote even though she spent much of her most recent performance spinning around on the floor in the shoot-the-duck position and looking dangerously close to tottering over. In the meantime, the singer Mario, who may have mangled his Latin dance but has never looked like he might go splat in the middle of a samba, has been sent home.

There are more important things to get riled up about, but this television show with its glossy faux reality is so simple, so silly, so wonderfully frothy that it is positively unnerving to watch it take such a terrible, wrongheaded turn.

No one with eyesight and a sense of rhythm could argue with a straight face that Winokur deserved to stay. She is a Tony Award-winning actress with musical theater chops, but make no mistake, in this celeb dance-off, she is the beneficiary of the sympathy vote. She has the "You go, chubby girl!" constituency -- that condescending rush of support from those who believe that anyone over a size 4 who can shake her hips to the beat of a cha-cha-cha is some sort of savant. Voters have been swept up in her gushing, raspy, please-wean-yourself-off-the-Red Bull enthusiasm. They fell for it, talent be damned.

Last Monday Marissa says to Tony “Can you believe it?! Next week someone else goes home then we will be in the finals!!” She knows that the Lucy Lawless fans and also others who have been taken in by her selfish phoney-baloney will save her and give her what she wants.

I also notice that most of the others compliment other performances, etc. Jason recently remarked how hard others work and he complimented Kristi. But not Marissa. With her it’s all about Marissa.

When you add all this to the ballot stuffing, playing the cancer-survivor card, the weight card, the surrogate mom card, it really makes me sick. How people keep saying they’re “sure” she’s a nice person is beyond me.

I found it interesting that when Kelly, Apollo and Drew were being interviewed about who they wanted to win, her name was never even mentioned. Kelly "wants a woman to win" so she is pulling for Kristi... as if Marissa is not even in the picture. Apollo is pulling for the athletes, so he is pulling for Jason or Kristi, and of course, Drew is pulling for Cristian, being that he is one of Cheryl's biggest fans!

She is not even in the same ballpark as the other dancers left, and I really hope that she goes home next week.

Hope, Hope, Hope this creature goes home tomorrow. If not, something is dreadfully wrong. Puleeze, this woman is a terrible attention hog and the poor little chubby me thing is nerve wracking. Send her packing people!!! IF she wins, something is terribly wrong and the show would certainly lose viewers. To stop that from happening, the judges will have to start marking her lower and lower like they have some of the other audience favorites, but bad dancers (Mr. P anyone?).

I hear ya. But I'm almost afraid to hope. Those Lucy Lawless fans are making a mockery of the show. (Can you say Sanjaya? But Sanjaya was a much better singer than Marissa is dancer, and he wasn't a screeching, attetion glutton). You're right, if she gets to the finals or (heaven forbid) wins then something is really, terribly wrong.

I like Marissa and hope that she has a great night tonight.
