Did The Situation's Exit On DWTS Hurt Ratings??

Wait, WHAT??
Although ABC won Monday night ratings in the 18-49 demo with 16.7 million viewers, it seems as if Dancing with the Stars took a fairly significant drop, getting its lowest rating of the season.
With The Situation leaving the show last week, could it be possible that viewers had only been watching to see the Jersey Shore star stiffly dance his way to the bottom three every week??
Hmm, we’re not sure, but it does seem a little odd…
Did U watch DWTS for The Situation??
