(Spoiler Alert)

In a very shocking turn of events the couple with the highest scores for the past two weeks, Sabrina Bryan and Louis Van Amstel, were eliminated on "Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars."

On Monday night, Bryan and Amstel performed a rumba that brought the audience to its feet, giving her a two-week total of 88.5 out of 90. But, viewers had the final say.

When Bryan's name was called judge Carrie Ann Inaba was in shock and host Tom Bergeron echoed the audiences' boos, saying "Week 6 sucks."

The elimination was deja vu for Bryan, who sobbed on the shoulders of other contestants as the credits rolled.

In her first appearance on "DWTS" iin autumn, 2007, Bryan, then partnered with Mark Ballas, was cut in Week 6 after judges had raved about her performance.

That elimination was arguably the most shocking in the show's history, and many fans were happy to see Bryan return. She was the favorite all-star that fans had voted on to the show this year.

Next week the remaining contestants are doing a fusion dance. Here's the lineup for next week:

The night's musical guests included Taylor Swift who sang her single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," and Jason Mraz sang an acoustic version of his single "I Won't Give Up."

Keeping inferior dancers and eliminating superior ones seems to be the norm for DWTS. Maybe they should have a votes auditor, as the Oscars do, to verify that the producers are not rigging the results to manage viewership. That and investigating websites that "vote for the worst." Sad that a cow is left and Sabrina is gone. Oh well... such is reality TV.

It isn't rigged. It's just that the general public is stupid.
