I saw a quickie comment by Carrie Ann (think it was on ET) where she stated that when Heather was eliminated, she felt kind of bad, but then Heather "called her out" on the 7 score (those were her exact words - called her out) and she said all those fuzzy thoughts immediately went out the window. Carrie Ann went on to say that she had NEVER been 'called out' like that before.

yes, on the View today she was quite ticked/hurt. she couldn't understand why she was called out like that. she said 'it's not like a 7 is the lowest score and i am the only one voting'.

During the weeks, I was warming some towards Heather. Now -- happy she's gone.

I was turned off by her exit speech as well. Loved Tom's comment about there being an appropriate platform to push her causes (meaning...not here) Wish I could think of what exactly he said.

LOL Fiat! I caught that also, and snickered when I heard it.

I was pretty surprised at Heather's "calling out" of the score from Carrie Ann. Because she got a 7, she knew she was going home? Huh?

I say good for Carrie Ann. I have been pretty neutral on Heather (don't have 'opinions' on her personal life) but she kind of have an air of superiority, didn't she? She seemed to make several subtle references to money and power. It was a bit creepy and I think unsettling for the judges and hosts.

on her GMA interview she really stressed how hard it was to dance with one leg (and i am sure it is) and she had wanted to have the judges do something (can't remember what) that would demonstrate just how hard it was, but didn't she want to be treated like all the other dancers???

I also felt things were just "off" with Heather, but was really struck by it that last night with the comment about Carrie Ann and her page of prepared speech.

Wonder what the JUDGES were supposed to be doing promoting her more? I men they said repeatedly that they were in awe of her efforts.. Won't miss her.

I can't imagine why Heather would have the nerve to complain about a '7' score. How ridiculous. I won't miss her, that's for sure. There has been talk that she was somewhat of a diva behind the scenes.

I think people were starting to notice the rumblings of folks, thinking Heather was getting preferential treatment. Remember how the first several eps, you always saw one of her legs in a corner during practice? They really seemed to always spend time on her artificial leg. And because of that, I think Heather was starting to believe her own press. (And I can easily see her acting like a diva.)

Granted, I'm sure it was very hard to dance with that leg. But... why should she get special treatment? Part of dancing also has to do with upper body movements and facial expressions (neither of which I think she excelled at).

I thought Carrie Ann's 7 was more than fair.

I really think Heather needs to get over herself. She wanted to come on this show to improve her public image. I think it backfired on her.

So not a graceful loser.

I, too, thought Carrie Ann's score was more fair than the other two judges. She kept trying to tell her what to improve on and Heather would make this face at her ...

LOL, Lady, she did, didn't she? Sort of like something smelled bad.

I won't miss Heather. In fact, I can enjoy watching the show more because she is gone. <48>

I had decided I wasn't going to like her even before she started dancing, but she won me over with her drive and talent. THEN, she gave that ungracious goodbye speech and poor sport interview and any goodwill I had for her was gone.

I didn't feel that she was really complaining about Carrie Ann's score. She was just explaining that she knew she was going because of having been in the bottom 2, and with the score and everything, the handwriting was on the wall.

She was plugging her charity and thanking everyone that they made so much. I didn't see anything wrong with that.

I thought her comment about the score could be taken wrong, I have no idea how she meant it. And I do think she was trying to make a political statement and plug for her charity at the end. I have no problem with the charity plug, all the others have been plugging books or CDs or what have you.

I'm sure when they are recruited, they use some tactic like telling them the exposure will be good for them and whatever 'cause' they have coming up. So not sure why it's then wrong for them to try to plug their various projects.

Since Heather was doing this for charity, I think all the more good on her. It wasn't for personal gain.

Um, actually, every celeb is "doing this for charity" aren't they? Aren't their charities receiving donations in lieu of salaries?

Costa, I"m not sure. I looked on the website, but couldn't find any information. I know the instructors get paid directly, but if the others are doing it for charity, no one has made that known as far as I know; and their charities have not been announced.

It seems odd that if they are doing so, that Heather is the only one whose PR has mentioned that.

It would be good to find out.

I googled "Dancing with the Stars" charity, and only got a long list of articles about Heather Mills; and a list of celebrities' charities for the show in New Zealand.

I seem to recall they talked about it during the first season, but I also couldn't find any info. Don't they say something when the winner gets the disco ball?

Hmm... I just googled myself, and found that for the THIRD SEASON, the celebs were paid "$125,000 for the first two weeks, plus $20,000 per week after that." Maybe it was just the first season that the stars received charitable donations.

I just did a bit more googling, and you know what? I can't find ANYTHING about the charity referenced in the "Mills donated her performance fee to an animal-welfare charity" in all her press releases. In fact, if you go to her ("official") Web site (which has a copyright date of 2005 on it), the only reference to a charity is Adopt-A-Minefield.

So, if she DID donate to a charity, which one was it? Cause there is absolutely NO reference any any animal charities. (The only reference I could find was about PETA dropping her.

Seriously, I'd like to know which animal welfare charity she supports.
