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

Back 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!
