(I have a feeling she&#8217;s bucking to get a musical theatre career going with this show, because she keeps mentioning that she&#8217;s also a singer.)<\/p>\n<p>But Bethany Mota is still on the show only because her pro partner, Derek Hough, is an absolute genius! Any lummox, (which she is,) who&#8217;s lucky enough to be partnered with him is a lock to make it to the Final. [Note: Again, I&#8217;m reminding you all that the correct word is the singular \u201cFinal,\u201d not the plural \u201cFinal<em>s<\/em>,\u201d since it is, indeed, just one final! Please take note, every host, judge, and contestant on these stupid-yet-entertaining competition shows!!!]<\/p>\n<p>The fourth finalist is goony young &#8216;un Sadie Robertson from the creepy-looking \u201creality show,\u201d <em>Duck Dynasty<\/em>. (Has anyone out there reading this even ever watched it?) She does seem to be a sweet girl who&#8217;s grown on me a bit, and her dancing has greatly improved, but she and her weirdo pro partner, Mark Ballas, are the worst duo left.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also strange that three of the four supposed celebs, (which the three girls are definitely <em>not<\/em>,) are young girls between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. How stacked could the producers have made this season??? All of the oldsters have suffered major injuries. And Alfonso is dancing with a bad groin <em>and<\/em> back!!! The show is skewing younger all the time in the producers&#8217; efforts to keep the viewers in the correct demographic for advertisers! So unfair.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me back to my fairness premise. Even if you don&#8217;t watch the show, but crave the correct outcome, as <em>I<\/em> do, please vote for Alfonso and his adorable, deserving-the-win-this-season partner, Witney Carson. <strong>You can vote by phone anytime between your own 8PM and 11PM tonight. The number to call is 800-868-3401.<\/strong> It&#8217;s not a big time commitment for you because they allow only a few calls per phone line.<\/p>\n<p>You can also go onto abc.com, and vote a few more times on-line.<\/p>\n<p>I really appreciate it!
