"Dancing" Conspiracy to Eliminate Elizabeth?

Shannon Elizabeth doesn't think it was her fans or the judges that got her booted off -- but instead blamed her ousting on a "bigger force." And we know what it might be.


We're told the support staff at "DWTS" (think makeup and wardrobe) couldn't stand her diva ways. We're told everyone got worried when Cristian de la Fuente got injured because they figured that meant one more week of Shannon's bitchy attitude.

They were upset to see Derek finally go, but anything to get rid of Shannon.

46. Despite her only seeming to play skank roles in movies, I got into her on DWTS and thought she was fun and gave her and Mario all my votes up until two weeks ago when she started acting like she deserved better scores than she was getting and she wasn't dancing that good, the judges were right. When they had the tantrum, I stopped giving them my votes. The way they are in the media and on Kimmel and interviews like this has made me really dislike them. It doesn't surprise me about Shannon, to me she is just the typical remove my clothes and bat my eyes for a paycheck Hollywood "actress", but up until now I'd thought Derek was okay.

47. Shannon and Derek shouldn't have been voted off. They made the show fun to watch. I gave them my vote. If they are a couple good fro them. I think the judges were unfair in there scores and had in their minds who they want to when.

48. Guess Derek hasn't heard the old saying: "Never sleep with someone crazier than you are." #4's comment was right on.

49. I've actually met Shannon Elizabeth and played poker with her for more than a few hours. She struck me as super nice and friendly. I find it hard to believe she is as difficult as she is being made out to be.

50. She needs to get over the conspiracy theory bs, and realize that NO ONE LIKED HER. She was always hanging all over every guy on the show, crying all the time, and displaying the most amazing attitude and temper. She was really annoying. On top of all that, THE GIRL CAN'T DANCE. I don't understand how she even made it as far as she did. Most of the fans of DwtS are women, and women don't like to watch other women be whores.

As for her and Derek being a couple, well, he can date who he wants. It's just too bad because she seems to bring out the worst qualities in him...not to mention he's 12 years younger than her. I know he wants to get more into his acting and singing career, so maybe he's only using her? But, I don't see what the point would be unless he desperately wants to be in a porno flick.

51. People, like "fans" and "judges," are whos, not thats. The proper opening of that sentence would be "Shannon Elizabeth doesn't think it was her fans or the judges WHO got her booted off..." The "bigger force," however, would be the "that."

The end.

52. And we think ABC was trying to save their ratings by keeping the wuss cristian on the show when actually they should have been booted off. But, the bogus injury was the thing to drum up sympathy votes, but we still don't think they out voted Derek. Between Julianne and Derek they have millions of fans, burke's lost alot of her fans due to her 'healthy' appetite for men, booze, cigs, and clubbing. cristian is a flea in a bucket, few fans. If delaburke stays on another week, then we are totally convinced this show is so rigged, we already think it's a possibility.

55. These are all women writers who are just jealous of Shannon. Notice the words like skank, baby-robber, bitchy, she's older, he can do better, she's a whore, temperamental, etc.

Go get your own boyfriend, Derek is TAKEN!

56. Shannon Elizabeth had a terrible attitude. I just looked at last weeks show again and realized how much she SUCKS!! She has that pretty girl syndome. She thinks just because you have a pretty face it means you have talent. HA!! She had nooooo rhythm. I feel sorry for Derek. She has an awful personality. That is why Marissa is still on the show she had PROFESSIONALISM. Take a lesson Shannon. People that can't dance are not criminals. People that insist they can when they can't are DELUSIONAL!!!
