Tonya Harding Advances to DWTS Finale, Fans Tweet Their Fury

Ever since it was announced that Tonya Harding would join Dancing With The Stars to compete against other athletes, controversy has been building.

From the moment that it was announced, fans were disgusted that she was giving a shot at public redemption after the Nancy Kerrigan assault during their "90s rivalry.

Now, Tonya and her dance partner Sasha have continued to avoid elimination throughout the competition.

After their Rumba, they are advancing on to the finale.

Tonya"s story — from mourning her father to feeling that she"s been unjustly blacklisted for years — has won over some fans who are rooting for her.

Others are not won over, and they are incensed that she"s made it this far. In fact, some think that the show is deliberately keeping her on in order to boost ratings.

1. Some are mad at the voters

Remember, Dancing With The Stars has a panel of judges, but fans and viewers also cast their votes.

2. Some people watch with their parents

Those who remember Tonya from the ’90s may find her less sympathetic than those who are just now seeing her on television.

3. Some fans are enraged

No, please don’t time-travel back to 2002 and destroy a TV. They were so expensive back then!

4. Other fans are simply bewildered

For government or for a reality competition, democracy is one hell of a system.

5. Some think that casting her is morally irresponsible

Those who feel this way see the error being compounded with each episode that features Tonya.

6. Tonya’s history is hard to forget

Speaking of which, yes, plenty of folks have joked that Adam Rippon should be extra careful.

90-Year Old Stripper Advances on America"s Got Talent

So much for all the Golden Buzzers being used up on America"s Got Talent this season.

Over the past several weeks, the panelists have handed out automatic advancements to various acts they deemed especially worthy.

There was Laura Bretan, who earned the unending praise of Melanie… and Grace VanderWaal, who garnered Howie"s Golden Buzzer vote.

Remember Sal Valentinetti? He blew Heidi away.

And Calysta Bevier managed to make Simon Cowell smile.

On Tuesday night, meanwhile, it was time to meet Dorothy Williams.

She found her way into Nick Cannon"s heart… in most unusual fashion.

The host first met the 90-year old backstage, as she explained to him she’s been dancing since age 17 when she joined a chorus line and danced across the country.

"I never got to be a star," she said sadly, to which Cannon replied:

“I deem you a star. It’s happening.”

Fast forward to seeing Williams on stage.

She sang an old fashion song in the style of a capella… and then she started to take off her clothes! A revealing outfit was underneath her original outfit.

And so were some boob tassels.

"I have to say, you’re 90 years old – good for you!” Heidi Klum told Williams adding: “I absolutely love you. That was really, really special.”

Cowell then chimed in with the following praise:

“I find you fascinating, Dorothy, I do, and I do think there’s an audience for you.”

We"ll soon find out. The 90-year old is off to the live America"s Got Talent auditions now after Cannon admitted to breaking the rules and Golden Buzzing her on through.

Can you blame him?
