The only dance I saw was the last dance w/Kelly-- I can't believe she got straight 10s!!! I thought there were a couple places where Kelly looked like she'd missed a step and was waiting for what's her partner to catch up.

Bottom line - -I want John to win, and it looks like it has been set for the underdog to win. PPFfffft.

(I should be used to this -- I NEVER pick the winners of reality TV.)

Oh well -- It was FUN to watch. :-)

BTW -- Can anyone tell me what John's final dance was like???

That was the sloppiest dance I have ever seen any couple do...this is leading me to believe all the speculation about being set up for an ABC soap star. Arrgggghhh...

John's final dance was incredible...playing to Bruno's comment that John was not using his hips...Tom Bergeron described it as "three moves away from pay per view."

John's final dance, they came out in serious clothes and the music started and theyripped off their clothes and jived. It was very entertaining and well executed.

Where was a spoiler? Since she had already danced, I thought it was ok to tell the scores?? Sorry if that isn't the case.


I still think the ending SUCKED! Biggest pile of dog poo judging I have ever seen. The man in white was class all the way!

One word comes to mind and it begins with "R" and that's my final comment about the outcome of this show.

I have enjoyed the program immensely with the exception of the judging and the viewer participation. There has got to be a more equitable way to judge these things. I would like audience voting over this.

Hate to spoil for West Coast viewers...am I wrong about that???

Don't want someone to inadventently see the results when just checking the "new message" feature.

SPOILER WARNING!

What an outrage! That was just disgusting. I knew when I saw those straight nines they were saving the 10's for Kelly. Teachmichigan, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that. At least 2 or 3 times she stopped to look at what step he was on, then nearly fell on her face at the end. How ridiculous to be so obvious in their rigging of the outcome.

Dang, even a lot of the GH fans at SoapZone were calling it rigged! The ABC message boards are filling up with complaints, too. What on earth were they thinking? If it had been some low-rated show on Fox it might've gone unnoticed, but when it's a top-rated series they should've realized people would be watching closely. Many people noticed the missed steps that earned perfect 10's.

I guess I will have to download the dances when they are posted, because I don't remember step by step.

I always caught missteps in all the routines, but always more in hers, well after the boxer who rarely had a good step.

Hmmmm...

That seemed totally fixed to me. Kelly missed a lot of steps in the final dance. Her tricks were shaky and unsteady - and she gets 10s?

Bad move ABC. Did you have to make an ABC star win the thing? Why not let the best dancers win?

Final Show Comments...


(spoiler space)



Add me to the camp of The Disappointed... I feel like I was just cheated of six weeks of TV viewing... ugh! I counted at least four or five stutters or missteps in Kelly's final dance. They were good, but 10 good? I'm having a hard time with that. Since their final vote (55) was only one point more than John & Charlotta's (54), I am pretty sure it was the fan voting that put them over the top... so I guess it all boils down to who is more popular, not who had the better dance... sigh...

Shoot -- I never even thought about West Coast, Vee. PLEASE accept my apologies!

I'd be VERY interested to know ABC's response to your email.

Texannie - what part are you referring to? I didn't notice any booing when Kelly was on screen.

This was such BS! I can't believe it. I don't think I'll watch another season. Total fix!

I wonder what the viewers votes were? If the judges didn't give all 10s to Kelly, would it have been a different outcome? Were the viewers votes that close?
I always thought it was a stupid voting system anyway.

There is NO WAY that Kelly had a perfect 30 dance! I've only watched the last 3 shows and I've never seen so many missed steps. Kelly lost her timing a few times in the middle of the dance, and he dropped her hard at the very end.
And when the dance was over and they stepped in front of the judges, I think their expressions displayed "damn. we screwed up and will probably get low scores". And when the judges raved, Kelly's face looked surprised. That's how it looked to me anyway.

I think last week Joey and John both deserved a perfect score and Joey - as usual - got a crappy score. And John never got a 10 at all - and totally deserved it!

As a side note - I didn't watch the beginning of the series, so I don't know how Trista did, but I thought she looked good tonight. Better than Kelly did!

And if Kelly did so poorly at the beginning, (which they kept saying tonight) how did she progress so far? Did the judges score her high anyway?

ARRRGGGG!

Not a problem, Teach. I will be sure to let you know.

I just had another thought about this whole fiasco. This show has been a hit show for ABC. Why in the world would they jeopardize it by pulling this stunt? Is it just a case of not thinking it through? It's obviously a set-up for all the reasons outlined and that's based on the judges' scores alone.

I daresay that Kelly's career will not be helped by this one iota. Who wants to be known for that? Poor thing! She and her partner both knew that they had blown it. Imagine their surprise to receive all tens!

BTW, if it's currently airing, it's not a spoiler. (Spoilers are talking about something that someone's heard, but that hasn't happened yet. Like saying, maybe, that John was gonna win based on something he said to a reporter *before* the shows aired.)

I kinda figured Kelly would win. I thought John and Charlotte had the "look" but I thought Kelly had the fan base. And, if the judges actually consider how far they've come, Kelly really does deserve a gold star.

Luv, Trista was really stiff. No emotion in her dancing at all, and way too many poses for the audience. I think, too, that her overblown reality fame is finally getting to people, and she just didn't get the fan votes. (Thank goodness, if you ask me! <wink>)

Okay, thanks for the clarification, Cost. I should've said filler filler filler or something else like that...

Edited to add: Kelly may have deserved a gold star, but she did not deserve the gold star based on her performance tonight. She has come a long way, but we don't judge winners of competitions based on how "far" they have come.
