Shannon Elizabeth and her Dancing With the Stars partner Derek Hough were voted off of the reality competition this week, which was surprising after the mid-dance injury competitor Cristian de le Fuente experienced in the show this week.
I guess it is only natural for Shannon to believe that something was amiss when she got booted off. She recently sourced a "bigger force" as the cause of her exit from the show, and not the number of votes from the fans.
TMZ reports that an insider says the "support staff" such as wardrobe, makeup, etc. were tired of Shannon's bitchiness and diva ways. As much as they loved Derek, they were afraid that Cristian's injury meant they had to deal with Shannon's poor attitude for another week.
I don't think those people had anything to do with Shannon's departure. Didn't she throw a bit of a fit last week when she had low scores? And the rumored affair she is having with Derek, who is 12 years younger than her? I think people just don't want to vote for alleged whiny cheaters.
Aside from that, people tend to really back up their favorites when something goes wrong, so I'd imagine that Cristian's fans were voting full force.
It works like that sometimes. Ask Brooke White from American Idol.
