No doubt, Will is/was much better than Mark with partners. I never disagreed with that one. I just have liked his last few solo dances, that's all. But he shouldn't get by on the solo dances alone.
In the end, these competitions usually turn into a popularity contest. Will is a great dancer, but he's just not "popluar" enough to stay. The same thing happens on American Idol (unless it is rigged like I tend to think it is).

I have a question. Have you ever seen one of the winners from this show again after the show is over? I'm referring to the dance show, not AI. The only time I see them again is on the following seasons.
