yesterday, but clearly the fan vote was not enough. Down to 5 Olympians and 1 NFL player.

Her ankles are not safe to dance in heels. Terrifying. Glad

It’s over.

She made a big improvement over last week, though. Obviously she took it seriously and really worked at it. Proud of her.


Deck was stacked against her

First, she and the school and the coaches aren't allowed to plug for votes.

Second, the figure skaters have an obvious advantage. That's 30% of the field.

Third, she's only become somewhat well known recently. Tonya Harding has been around since 1991 and a household name since 1994. Jennie Finch has been to two Olympics, the first of which was in 2004. Arike may have been a better dancer but she doesn't have their notoriety.

She did herself proud. All of the reaction I saw on twitter was extremely positive and I think she became a little bit of a fan favorite in her brief time on the show.
