'Dancing With the Stars' Cast 2015: Fans Want Tamar Braxton Eliminated Following Hospital Incident, 'Awkwardly Scripted'
Tamar Braxton went through the wringer yesterday as she was rushed to the ER just hours before being scheduled to take the stage for ABC's Dancing With the Stars, but some fans are calling for her elimination.
Braxton suffered a bout of pneumonia according to her DWTS pro Val Chmerkovskiy and had to go to the hospital. She was still there by the start of last night's episode of Dancing With the Stars and it was unclear if she would make it back to dance or not.
But she was able to make it back to the ballroom in the show's final 20 minutes and danced her duet dance alongside Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess. While she looked visibly ill, she appeared to perform to the best of her abilities. She was not able to be there earlier in the night for her individual dance with Chmerkovskiy, so the judges scored rehearsal footage instead.
Does The Game Want To Be 'Dancing With the Stars' Contestant?
At the end of the night, Alexa PenaVega was eliminated from the competition and Braxton advanced to the Top 5.
Despite her struggle, some DWTS fans wanted Braxton to be eliminated, either for her not being there for her individual dance or simply because they don't like her attitude.
@DancingABC @GMA @TheView Tamar should have been eliminated!

@DancingABC I'm disappointed in Alexa & Mark's having to leave. I feel Braxton should have left since she didn't really dance the 1st dance — TCB (@bjk1baby) November 10, 2015

Some are even claiming the whole scenario was scripted and there was some sort of behind the scenes rigging going on!:
@DancingABC that whole Tamar situation came across as scripted from the very beginning..awkwardly scripted..:-( — Patricia Longfellow (@PatriciaLongfel) November 10, 2015
@DancingABC @GMA @TheView would love to know why @Kimzolciak was eliminated but Tamar stayed?? This show is obviously fixed. SMH..
