Two Former Champs Head Home On Dancing With The Stars

Drew Lachey does not have the name recognition he did when he was the season 2 champion of Dancing With The Stars and it has showed as he was the first celebrity kicked off last night in a double elimination. I kind of wish they had double elimination rounds every week. Sometimes the season feels like it drags on forever. Get rid of two at a time and cut the season in half. You knew that even after Bristol Palin finished in the bottom on Monday night she was not going home. Way too much name recognition. I was kind of surprised Kirstie Alley didn't go home, but then again, I don't have a bunch of billion year volunteers to work a phone bank for me. It turned out that 5th season winner, Helio Castroneves was the other celebrity sent packing. I was kind of shocked about that one, but the 5th season was a long time ago, and these are the cream of the F listers so it is important everyone knows your name. I think he was really good in Season 5, but this time, good is not enough, you need to also have the biggest name that a bunch of people at the nursing home who have access to a phone know.
