Is the Elimination of Audrina Patridge a Bigger Shock Than Sabrina Bryan’s?


46685, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Tuesday October 26 2010. Audrina Patridge puts on a brave face to enjoy a night out at Beso in Hollywood after being eliminated from Dancing With The Stars in week six of the series. Audrina partnered Tony Dovolani in the hit US dancing show. The reality star has a new show on VH1 set to preview early next year. Photograph: Hellmuth Dominguez, PacificCoastNews.comBack in 2007, season 5 was in full swing and in week 6 Helio Castroneves scored a perfect 30. That same week, Sabrina Bryan, one of the favorites, scored 25 which was a good score, but was her lowest of the season.

She was voted off.

This was a huge shock – she was one of the judges' favorites, a fan favorite, partner with the popular Mark Ballas, had scored a perfect 30 the week before and was just plain good.

Well, is Audrina being voted off a bigger shock?

Let's see:


  • Audrina was second in the judges' voting, Sabrina was joint fourth (both out of seven)
  • Audrina had a score of 32 (out of 40) and the lowest score was 22 (Kurt). Sabrina had 25, the lowest was 22 (Jane Seymour).
  • Sabrina had only two couples with scores lower than hers, Audrina had five
  • One of those five – Kurt – had over 30% less judges' points – that means he must have had over 5% more percentage points of the viewer vote than Audrina
Now, I think Sabrina was a better dancer and performer than Audrina, but given the scores that night, Audrina's ouster is a bigger shock in terms of viewer vote differential.

In terms of crying? There was a lot more when Sabrina left!

    Audrina a MUCH bigger shock! Sabrina had zero charisma Audrina was engaging and endearing, a hard worker who gave us great routines week after week. I totally disagree, Sabrina was not a better dancer or performer! Sabrina's lower rank that week made her elimination more feasible. Audrina's elimination and the continued biased judging ignoring Bristol and Brandy's faults while being critical of Audrina, Kyle and Rick has really made a sham out of what could have been a good season.

    Thought Sabrina was a bigger shock. Audrina had everything going for her except she did not seem to show any emotion, no passion, just a bland look which made her seem plastic, like Len mentioned. For that reason I did not vote for her n knew, despite her last hi scores, that she was gonna go sooner than later.

    Sabrina could dance circles around Audrina. Audrina was overscored on most of her dances. Audrina was one dimensional and would never have won anyway. Sabrina had it all.

    Nope Sabrina's still the most shocking exit ever to hit Dancing With The Stars.
