"Dial Idol predictions"
Not sure how many voters really use this for DWTS so no idea how accurate these will end up being. Early in the season usually is much worse than later in the season. I'm also putting up the Judges scores as Dial Idol did them, then using the scores and the dial idol ranking I did a combination to see who might be most at risk

Judges Score

Brooke and Derek 23
Lance and Lacey 22
Toni and Alec 22
Misty and Maksim 21
Warren and Kym 21
Kim and Mark 19
Maurice and Cheryl 18
Cody and Julianne 18
Ted and Inna 18
Cloris and Corky 16
Susan and Tony 15
Rocco and Karina 14
Jeff and Edyta 12

Dial Idol Score (Percent busy)

Warren and Kym 28.52 (19.23)
Misty and Maksim 22.14 (23.53)
Susan and Tony 21.85 (21.88)
Cody and Julianne 21.14 (12.82)
Brooke and Derek 19.14 (15.62)
Lance and Lacey 16.47 (9.09)
Maurice and Cheyl 15.32 (5.26)
Ted and Inna 12.1 (6.06)
Cloris and Corky 11.93 (8.01)
Toni and Alec 9.21 (0)
Rocco and Karina 9.1 (8.57)
Kim and Mark 7.95 (0)
Jeff and Edyta 5.02 (0)

So from the combination calculation I did (I think the judges scores is % of the total scores given out) I did something similar to the dial idol so they are also percentages of the total to more mimic percentage of total vote, although I got the same cut offs with using it straight up.

So the combo score had an average of 7.06 and a standard deviation of 1.87 So I used those stats to divide into high medium and low risk.

Low risk
Warren and Kym
Misty and Maksim


Medium risk
Brooke and Derek (just barely below the cut off)
Cody and Julianne
Susan and Tony
Lance and Lacey
Maurice and Cheryl
Ted and Inna
Cloris and Corky
Toni and Alec
Kim and Mark

High Risk
Rocco and Karina
Jeff and Edyta (they are a lot lower than anyone so I'm predicting they go home)

I agree Jeff and Edyta will go home. Even Edyta's lack of a costume won't help them!

4. "Second Night of Dance, Week One"
I'm guessing there wasn't as many people voting this second night in a week, ending at 11 pm doesn't help much with that and I don't know if there is the excitement factor like you would have from the season premiere.

Dial Idol Scores (DWTS version, not the regular score)
Couple Score (Percent Busy)

Maurice and Cheryl 108.3 --very odd numbers this time-- (6.25)
Brooke and Derek 10.28 (2.88)
Toni and Alec 9.09 (2.17)
Cody and Julianne 9.09 (0)
Susan and Ton 8.7 (0)
Warren and Kym 8.7 (0)
Misty an Maksim 8.3 (0)
Lance and Lacey 8.3 (0)
Rocco and Karina 8.3 (0)
Ted and Inna 7.51 (0)
Kim and Mark 7.11 (0)
Cloris and Corky 6.32 (0)

Judges Score
Brooke and Derek 26
Toni and Alec 23
Cody and Julianne 23
Susan and Tony 22
Warren and Kym 22
Lance and Lacey 21
Rocco and Karina 21
Maurice and Cheryl 21
Misty and Maksim 21
Ted and Inna 19
Kim and Mark 18
Cloris and Corky 16

Since the one Dial Idol was weird I just doubled the highest other score to give them the "vote" side of the equation. Adding the percentages (so perecent of total score for DI (vote) and Judges) and taking the mean and this time standard error (16.7% +/- 1.1%)as that one wonky score really screws up the standard deviation I get the following prediction.

Low risk Above average + error
Maurice and Cheryl
Brooke and Derek

Medium risk
Cody and Julianne
Toni and Alec
Susan and Tony
Warren and Kym
Lance and Lacey
Misty and Maksim
Rocco and Karina

High risk of leaving average - error
Ted and Inna
Kim and Mark
Cloris and Corky

5. "RE: Second Night of Dance, Week One"
I don't know anything about the Diol predicter. I don't vote for contestants on any reality shows.

Based on the high scores that Derek and his partner got, I think the judges have already decided that Derek will win. I don't think the judges pay attention to the votes that contestants get.

Also, I think Mario Lopez got more votes than Emmett, since Mario is popular... but the judges gave first prize to the Emmett because Mario didn't strictly follow ballrrom dancing rules.

6. "RE: Second Night of Dance, Week One"
I hope the judges don't score based only on what the votes from the week/night before were.

DWTS they do a combination of judges and popular vote, that is why I used both for the prediction. If the judges just scored based on what they thought people would vote for there wouldn't be much point.

It is obvious sometimes what the judges score well and what is popular with America are two very different things.

BTW. Dial Idol is a computer based dialing program. It is pretty much like hitting the redial button but letting the computer do it. It isn't a power dialer. They do collect the data from the computers voting using that system and use data like the % busy signals to guesstimate what the vote is. When it gets down to just a few people left and there is a lot of voting they can do pretty well at guessing who is likely to be going home/winning. For shows like American Idol where a lot of people use it the results are a lot better. Good old sampling theory. Sample a bigger part of the population you get closer to the reality of the whole group than if you only sample a few people. By looking at busy signals they get some idea of what people not using the system are voting for. They don't assume the people using the system are voting the way America does.

We never can know the real totals, since no one ever publishes them, but I assume they could be subject to audit so I think they really do count them. Some things like Dial Idol at least give us a bit of an insight into what might be happening. It isn't completely accurate, but it does seem to do a good job a fair amount of the time.

7. "RE: Second Night of Dance, Week One"
DWTS doesn't even award any prizes: it's just an entertaiment show... so the producers would have justification for ignoring the vote totals for the sake of the show and keeping sponsors happy. I don't think audits would be done on vote totals.

I read an article in the National Enquirer about DWTS being rigged. I know the Enquirer is just a tabloid, but the Enquirer makes sure that the facts in their articles are true: to help prevent lawsuits.

Even if they did take voting into consideration, and Derek got unusually high scores fron the judges and very few votes, would there be any chance that Derek would be voted off of the show?

8. "RE: Second Night of Dance, Week One"
*dons conspiracy theory hat*

There have been people that got good judges scores that have left unexpectedly.

Either they really had poor vote totals or it was "shocking elimination time" in the story arc. If they just eliminate people willy-nilly it would be a bit early for someone at or near the top of the leader board to get voted out. Especially when there are so many early boot targets.

Usually the "we thought they would win it all the first show" boot happens about mid season. Usually the ones with high scores are popular enough to keep around for a few weeks. After all the shocking elimination isn't that shocking if we aren't even attached to any of the stars, yet.

*/hat*

The % of the judges vote method used now I does thing helps to insulate those that may need a few weeks to build a fan base but dance very well. They used to do a rank based method which I think happened to keep a few really bad dancers around way longer than the producers wanted and exposed the better dancers they wanted to shield from elimination too much. If you rank order them the person that is last place is only one number away from the next to last person. When you use the % of the judge score totals giving someone a much lower total than everyone else makes it a lot harder for the votes to save them.

That being said people with pretty decent scores have gone home. It isn't always the one with the lowest judges score. I'm thinking of Sabrina *checks wiki* now her scores the week she left weren't as stellar as they were most weeks, but she was pretty much in the middle of the pack that week. Fan favorites often last several weeks of being at the bottom of the judges scores.

assuming the voting at dial idol is right.

When a relatively popular person gets tied for last I think they get a lot more support than the next to last people. Just like when Simon says "pack your bags" that gets the fans all riled up and they save them.

38.97 Brooke and Derek
36.21 Cody and Julianne

Judges Scores

57 Lance and Lacey

Low Risk of Going Home
0.68 Lance and Lacey

Medium/High Risk of Going Home
0.48 Warren and Kym
0.44 Brooke and Derek
0.41 Cody and Julianne

Lance and Lacey really peaked at the right time. They got high scores when no one else did, and the underdogs finally make it story line seems to have really driven the Dial Idol Prediction and given them a really wide margin over all. They pulled the average up so high they are the only ones above that line.

If the Dial Idol Busy signal is right I think the question is going to be how much Lance/Lacey pulled from Brooke/Derek or Cody/Julianne's fan bases.

19. "RE: Semi-Final Predictions"
Lance and Lacey definately peaked at the right time, and Brooke definately stumbled at the worst possible time. If the voting is close, I wonder who has the biggest fan base? Warren and Cody probably have bigger fan bases than Brooke. She's stayed in it because she was the best, but last night she was really flat. I think the judges think Cody should go home, but what do the fans think? Will we have a shocker tonight?
