This seems extremely unfair and inarguably exploitive.

In the wake of her brother’s tragic death, La Toya Jackson is reportedly being considered for a spot on Dancing with the Stars.

Won’t fans be obligated to keep voting La Toya through? Won’t this be grossly unfair to the other hard-working contestants on the series?

No, we don’t care too much about the feelings of Lou Ferrigno. But we’re all about doing what’s right dammit! Let’s see if Dancing with the Stars feels the same way.
