Dancing with the Stars' fourth goodbye outdraws Rachael Ray on GMA
A short elimination recap from the show's Yacht Rock night drew far more than the cookbook, bargain and Scrubs segments posted beside it, and its comments turned into an argument about fan votes.

4th couple sent home on 'DWTS' Yacht Rock Night
The busiest new clip on Good Morning America did not come from the morning show's own studio. It came from Dancing with the Stars, its sister show on ABC. The short recap reports that a fourth couple was sent home in the third week of season 35, on the night the ballroom went Yacht Rock.
In thirteen hours it passed 45,000 views. That is roughly fourteen times what a new GMA upload usually gathers in a full first day.
The rest of the channel's September 30 lineup gives a sense of the gap. Rachael Ray and Dr. Ian Smith cooked from their menopause-focused cookbook. Tory Johnson ran a Deals & Steals segment built around Ginger Zee's favorite finds. Zach Braff talked about stepping back into his scrubs for the Hulu revival. Each of those had drawn a few thousand views.
The video's tags work like a cast list for the season. They include Hanson's Taylor Hanson, Tatyana Ali of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, figure skater Amber Glenn, Glee's Harry Shum Jr. and Guillermo Rodriguez, the familiar sidekick from Jimmy Kimmel Live. The description itself keeps to the count and does not name who left.
The comment section is small, but it is busy. Most of it is about the voting. Several viewers say the wrong couple went home and argue that fan votes are outweighing the dancing. The name that keeps coming up is Britt, one of the show's professional dancers. One commenter asks a question only GMA can answer: why the show stopped flying eliminated couples to New York for an interview the morning after.
