Last season was the first one to have the judges’ vote-off, and Spicer was in it. I mentioned [in that thread, post #7](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-praise-of-the-dancing-with-the-stars-season-28-premiere-9-16-19/841401/7), that his cause was ultimately doomed because he needed to be no lower than _third_ from the bottom to stay alive (which was the case, although he did last longer than I expected). As for Bobby Bones, the big beef with him _winning_ ([some truly epic outrage here](https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/87701-s27e11-week-9-finale/#comments)) which, given his fanbase, the judges would be most likely powerless to prevent. My problem with Tyra Banks is that she’s _annoying_. All the stupid questions, all the egging on, all the pretense, and she has to use all these pseudo-Valley Girl accents that just grate. I’m not going to pretend that that’s what’s going to give her the boot, though. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-format-dwts-dancing-with-the-stars/920727)._
