DWTS Eliminations Follow The Judges' Scores

Did you know that this is the first season where the first three couples eliminated also scored the lowest in the judges' scoring?

David Hasselhoff scored 15 in week 1 (along with Margaret and The Situation), Michael Bolton was lowest with twelve in week 2 and Margaret was eliminated last night with an 18.

The nearest to this happening in the past was season 8 where Debi Mazar was eliminated with a score of 17 despite Lawrence Taylor having 14 in week 3.  (It was also the week Tom Delay withdrew - he scored 15).

So what?  Well, it shows that the viewers don't always agree with the judges and have shown that numerous times before.  Perhaps the viewers are now getting more sophisticated, or it's just coincidence.

It's something to keep an eye on...
