DWTS:bye-bye, Michael Irvin(finally)!...who's happy?

Who else is happy that the NFL's Michael Irvin was voted off "DWTS" last night?...

This should send a message to the ABC folks: STOP putting on so many athletes(yes, snowboarder Louie Vito included!) on this show...it's about CELEBRITIES dancing with such popular choreographers like the Hough siblings, Mark Ballas, Lacey Schwimmer, Louis van Amstel and Chelsie Hightower...and having such NFL "greats" like Michael Irvin and other sports stars like Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi RUINS the excitement of the show...we want more REAL celebrities like Cloris Leachman, Alan Thicke, and Aaron Carter!...say, how about(for next season) Lynda Carter, Jodie Foster, and Rob Pilatus(ex-Milli Vanilli)?...

Your thoughts?

Update:

How DARE you TD Jacinto's answer!

I stand by what I say:celebrities are NOT athletes, and vice versa!...if we wanted to see Cloris Leachman dance her butt off, I say "Go for it!"...if I wanted to see Dale Earnhardt(Jr.) dance, I'd vote him off in a second!...Athletes have NO dancing talent whatsoever, and that's the truth!

    I'm so HAPPY about this no-talent legend(?) being kicked off!

    Yes, you're right, Monty, about "DWTS" being for celebrities only, and also that ABC should stop betting on a pro athlete winning the season!

    "DWTS" is meant to showcase the inner talent of selected celebrities...and Kelly Osbourne has such dancing talent!...but ANY and ALL NFL stars have NO dancing talent whatsoever(they should stay home and watch old NFL Films stuff of their faded glory!)!!!...leave "DWTS" to REAL talent like maybe Carla Bruni-Sarkozy(hubby Nicholas is France's current president!), Teller(Penn's sidekick/BFF), Adam West(the TV "Batman"), Carrie Fisher("Star Wars") and Jean Stapleton(Edith on "All in the Family")...

    Hopefully you don't get reported for this...but it was a great Q, though!

    You seem to be confused on the definition of the word celebrity - a famous person. I think that athletes fall into this definition. I really enjoyed watching Michael Irvin because he had a good attitude and he gave it his all - and he had a lot of charm as well! Aaron Carter, on the other hand, is acting like a spoiled little rich boy who is used to being the center of attention. He is very whiny and snotty and then acts surprised that he doesn't have any fans backing him. Maybe he is a good dancer, but I can't stand watching him pout so I can't blame people for not wanting to vote for him.

    I like that ABC puts such a wide array of CELEBRITIES on the show. It is very diverse and I think that makes it mroe interesting to watch. Sorry, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one!

    edit: Wow - you are very closed minded and you certainly like to stereotype - and you sound like a very angry person - take a deep breath! Just because one athlete can't dance doesn't mean they all can't dance. And when you say "that's the truth", no it's not, that's your opinion.

    lol i'm happy!!! i didn't like louie either, he didn't have ANY rythm! sure he can jump... but so can any other snowboarder, it wasn't anything special!

    i'm excitied for Aaron Carter though. He did great! top score of the season and he was in the bottom 3!!!! WTF!!!

    I would LOVE to see Jodie Foster on dancing with the stars. That would be incredible!
