Season 2 outcome revealed early

It's worth pointing out, but I'm not sure how to work this in, that Stacy's elimination in the final episode revealed the winner at that point. This is because the judges order was { 1st, 2nd, 3rd } = { Drew, Stacy, Jerry }, meaning 3 points for Drew, 2 for Stacy, 1 for Jerry.

There are only six possible viewer vote outcomes. Having Stacy leave ruled out four of them:

{ 1st, 2nd, 3rd } = { Drew, Stacy, Jerry }

{ 1st, 2nd, 3rd } = { Stacy, Jerry, Drew }

{ 1st, 2nd, 3rd } = { Stacy, Drew, Jerry }

None of these happened; Jerry would have left when Stacy did.

{ 1st, 2nd, 3rd } = { Jerry, Stacy, Drew }

This 3-way tie didn't happen; Drew would have left when Stacy did, and the trophy have gone to Jerry.

That leaves only two outcomes, with Drew winning either way:

{ 1st, 2nd, 3rd } = { Jerry, Drew, Stacy }

If this happened, Drew won with 5 points. Jerry 4, Stacy 3.

{ 1st, 2nd, 3rd } = { Drew, Jerry, Stacy }

If this happened, Drew won with 6 points. Jerry 3 with the popular vote, and Stacy 3.

Feel free to use the above for the main article if it helps. Marc W. Abel

Contestants Names on Overview Section

Someone apparently messed up the season overview sectin. When you look at he contestants names you see, for example, "JERRY SPRINGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" OR John O'Hurley O'Hurley O'hurley.

It was just something I noticed, can it pleased be fixed? I would do it but I don't know how to.

Sections on series overview (couples in finals)

We should acknowledge the couples who reached the finals, but placed fourth, because they reached the finals too, and it's awkward to not mention them. Aly Raisman, Carlos PenaVega, Bethany Mota, Jana Kramer, James Maslow, Bill Engvall (I think I'm missing a couple) are among the finalists that are not acknowledged.

Picky note, season 25 Julianne Hough shown in timeline as Pro

But she wasn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egreena42 (talk • contribs) 05:24, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Under the section "Records", the first sub-section shows the highest average scores,

But Adam Rippon from Season 26 is listed twice, once at 17, and again at 38. He was good, but that seems a bit much.

Also, the reordering tabs at the tops of the columns don't work. (at least for me on an older version of Firefox). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egreena42 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The page for DWTS 26 shows their average as 27.7, matching position 17.
