How to Get Eliminated from Dancing With The Stars

A description of the scoring system from ABC.com

Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the public's votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.

You can vote either by phone, text (if you are an AT&T subscriber, or on the web at ABC.com. Details of the phone numbers and a more detailed explanation of the scoring system can be found here.

For example if couples A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples' share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of 78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let's suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who's eliminated we combine these two shares for the total:

Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72%
Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33%
Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95%

In this case, the bottom two couples would be A and C, and C would be eliminated.

The Hosts

Tom Bergeron

Tom BergeronEmmy Award winning host Tom Bergeron began his broadcasting career in 1972 in his hometown of Haverhill, MA. Despite ample evidence that Bergeron was 17 at the time, he now insists there has been a terrible mistake.

"Must be some other guy," Bergeron declared. "I'm only 35." After a grimace from his manager, Bergeron continued. "No, wait, 33. Yeah, that's it. I'm prematurely gray!"

Bergeron spent over a decade with WBZ TV in Boston, hosting a number of popular shows. According to his revised math, he apparently did this while also attending grade school.

In 1994 he became host of Breakfast Time on fX. This was before the cable channel was successful enough to afford the upper case F they now use. The show morphed into Fox After Breakfast and moved to the FOX network, where the use of all upper case letters offered little consolation. The show was canceled after one season.

Deftly dodging unemployment, Bergeron became fill in anchor on Good Morning America in 1997, a position he held until segueing to Hollywood Squares in 1998. At this point, Edward R. Murrow could be heard spinning in his grave.

While hosting Hollywood Squares, Bergeron multi tasked his way into a fill in anchor gig on CBS' The Early Show (more spinning) and also began hosting ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos. At present NBC still won't return his calls.
