CANCELLATION FOLLOWS A CONTROVERSIAL SEASON

Following a controversial season in which the best-ranked pairs were eliminated, fans clamored for a change in the voting system and a return to the show's old format.

The 2018 Mirrorball was awarded to country radio DJ Bobby Bones and his partner, dance pro Sharna Burgess, who had scored much lower than his three fellow finalists throughout the season.

The win was a much-contested decision that flooded social media with negative comments.

"You have to think about it, [when] we started the show, I had never danced before! She [Burgess] got stuck with someone -- she's done [the show with] athletes and people that are, like, super, she got Nick Carter and Antonio Brown -- and then all of a sudden she gets Gumby. I cannot believe we won."

A POPULARITY CONTEST, NOT A DANCE COMPETITION

Angry viewers have threatened to stop watching the dance show. They feel cheated and believe that the series had become a popularity contest instead of a dance competition. A view shared by actor Neil Patrick Harris who publicly complained about the outcome. His tweet was answered by Bones with an emphatic "I love you."

Bones was surprised by his win, and admitted he didn't think the "judges wanted him to win."

BONES ADMITS HE WAS NOT THE BEST DANCER

Bones was surprised by his win, and admitted he didn't think the "judges wanted him to win." The radio DJ had never danced before, and unlike his fellow contestants, had no training as a dancer:

"This is probably the sweetest win that I could have had over seven [years]. The journey that we had together, what we represented, and to hold a mirrorball trophy at the end of that, it's beautiful."

Bones attributed all the merit to Sharna Burgess. It was Burgess' first win after 12 seasons competing on "DWTS"

"This is probably the sweetest win that I could have had over seven [years]. The journey that we had together, what we represented, and to hold a mirrorball trophy at the end of that, it's beautiful."
