What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSix celebrities have now been sent home from Dancing With the Stars, and the latest one left last night.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJoining us from a minimum-security prison is Mortimer Ashgrove, inmate forty thousand seven hundred eighteen, self-described ballroom expert.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMortimer, the show works on judges' scores and a viewer vote. Why does a sixth elimination sting more than the first five?
Mortimer AshgroveBecause by the sixth week the votes are the only thing standing between a dancer and the truth.
Mortimer AshgroveAllegedly, in a different state, I know a lot about votes.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhat kind of vote, exactly?
Mortimer AshgroveA seating chart. Very democratic.
Mortimer AshgroveLook at my scorecard here, it has a tiny trophy on it, and I give every inmate a nine for the cha-cha.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou score the cha-cha in a prison?
Mortimer AshgroveTuesdays, in the laundry room. The winner gets extra pudding, and nobody has ever proven how the pudding was decided, allegedly, in two different states.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo states. So when the audience picks who goes home on the show, you trust it?
Mortimer AshgroveI trust it the way I trusted my lawyer.
Mortimer AshgroveFans should vote early, vote often, and never let anyone near the clipboard, which is my whole point, and I rest my case, allegedly, in a third state.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA third state.
Mortimer AshgroveVera, the sixth one out is always the one who was too honest. Hire me as a judge and I will keep the clipboard locked.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou would be the judge who got locked up over a vote. Who would you send home next, Mortimer?
Mortimer AshgroveThe warden. I did not say that. I said it in a different state.
