Oh yeah. I didn't see an eyeroll from Katrina (I'm a west coaster). But I did notice that she started clapping about a beat behind, and it seemed reluctant. I did think that she had a bit of a pissy face, buy my friend thought she was trying not to cry most of the time (rather than being pissy). Whatever, I did think she was less than gracious. Rather than talking about Mario, where were the congrats to the winners????

As far as I am concerned Karina doesn't hold a candle to Cheryl Burke. She is by far the best dancer of all of them. Karina is not even better than Edyta or some of the others. So what is Mario talking about?

Ok they gave us a teaser of them in the dressing room. Next up they will be out and it looks like they are gonna dance with Diane and the guys. Well that oughta be interesting. So far no sourgrapes but I'm lookin LOL

Since they talked about the green shoes Emmit should auction them off and give the money to charity. That would be cool.

Oh I flat out think Cheryl is the best pro dancer. She looks damn hot with the long hair pieces.

Costa, I beg your pardon. We folk here in Texas don't have no accent. Everybody else does.

I'm sure Mario does have a natural accent and I didn't think it unusual that it was stronger when he went home. It was just interesting to watch how it would change at other times during the competition. And I really do believe Karina's accent (which almost sounded Latin) had something to do with it.

Well Mario came off real cool and very nice as did Emmit. Mario praised both women. Said they were the best of the best. Said he wasn't dating Karina but that he did have something going with someone on the show... "Jerry Springer" ... Well we all could see that right from the start. LMAO. I guess he told this same joke on Jimmy Kimmel. It was a pleasant interview. Cheryl never spoke. Mario was nice, Karina looked a bit haggard and tired but thats to be expected. Nice interview. Went to fast though.

Edit to add that MC Hammer sent Emmit a congratulations and said he thought he deserved it and not just for his Hammer dance but for his over all weekly performances. Nice part. Although Hammer has gone totally ghetto.

I thought Karina DIDN'T come off all that cool. When asked about the dancing, Karina said something to the effect that they included "steps that professional dancers use" in their samba. So it still sounds like she's got a 'tude about how the better dancers didn't win. (Bitter some, hon?)

Mario did seem quite gracious. And loved the bit about Emmitt on Jimmy Kimmel that they showed... Cheryl and Emmitt starting to dance, and a Washington Redskins player comes out and tackles (a cardboard) Emmitt. Too funny.

And LOL Native! So all y'alls don't have no accent? Hon, I'm a SoCal girl. I ain't got no accent! All's the rest of all's the country does. Well, except, maybe for the Pacific Northwest! :-)

FWIW, I think Mario's Spanish pronunciation of Karina's name (rolling the "r") more or less emphasized the accent.

After watching the bit on GMA this morning, I am still less than impressed with Karina. Yes, I think she's a good dancer. Do I think she's the best of the pros? Not necessarily. Do I think she's the best partner slash teacher? Absolutely not.

(BTW, I noticed throughout the season that Karina wasn't really all that attractive until she was fully made up. There were some practice sessions where her hair was stringy and she did look haggard quite often. Amazing what good makeup/hair and lighting can do for one. She must've left her makeup artist in California, because I agree with C1. She did look quite haggard this morning. Cheryl, however, was still glowing!!!)

Thanks for the recap....I missed it this a.m.

Mario is not dating Karina? WTH...I thought they were "together".

Lori, purely semantics. I'm sure it's possible to be "together" without actually dating.

You know, they may have THOUGHT about being together earlier on in the season. And then continued to flirt around with the idea. But I just don't see the two of them together, really. Both are too hot-headed, and they'd basically burn each other out. You know, start out with a flame, and then end with barely a sizzle? ;)

That was a hugely disappointing finale. I am so over Cheryl and hoped anyone but her would win. Hopefully next year she finds something else to do. Sadly though, not surprised Emmitt won, saw that coming a mile away. They pimped the whole family, sacrifice line so often I was gagging.
So what, regular people sacrifice more than that every day and whining celebrities is not what I'm tuning in for!

It was such that I didn't even mind missing the show a few times this year, and that wouldn't have happened last season.

Why don't they just have a show on dancing! Why they have to have so much 'filler' crap is beyond me, if it has to be 90 minutes then have better music and more dancing!! The time wasted showing what goes on outside the dance competition is so edited and slanted and unnecessary.

So if Mario is dating Jerry Springer, will that make him Monique's step-mother? :-)

Dahli, it's a celebrity show. Everything celebs do is better, harder, and worth more than us pitiful normal people (barf). A show on "just dancing" wouldn't attract any celebs above the D list (imagine an hour of Kathy Griffins -- shudder) and no one would watch. I like a bit of fluff because we get to see them behind the scenes (even if some of it is a bit contrived) and not just the prefectly polished stage product.

Team Mario here.

He was the best choice to win.
He was the whole enchilada!

In fact, though I like Emmit, I think it should have gone to Joey and Mario in the finals.

I believe Karina was choking back tears probably frustrated with the decision. Nothing wrong with wanting to win so badly. She could have done a Faith Hill and then you would have all been bashing her just the same.

Could she have been a little more fake and act more gracious on the spot? perhaps, but it was an honest display of being very upset. I don't think it makes her a bad person.

As a dancer, I feel strongly that if the show is about getting complete amateurs to train and become dancers then people like Joey & Mario should not be allowed to compete. I don't care what they say, they have had some kind of training in the past. There are too many things like balance and spotting that they did that do not come naturally and are train in a studio.

If the show is about the best performer and entertainer, then it should have gone to Mario. Of course, if Emmit had more fans vote, then it's all null. It's just a popularity contest for the finals and that's why Emmit won.

I have to say I heard Mario talk numerous times about how much he was sacrificing to be there. And I remember that it was a lot bc all I could think of everytime is "Does he even have a job right now besides this?" The only thing I could think of was the pet tricks show...lol

And I think we saw more Eva Longoria pimping for Mario then we ever saw of Emmitts family...

So I think it clearly went both ways this year...

Mario has to say he was with the best dancer. To say otherwise would have just been rude.

I guess I thought Mario was the better dancer and hoped he would win but just as happy for Emmitt because he is a good guy. Just don't understand the put downs and negativity about Mario. Seems like he can do nothing right with the Emmitt fan base. He didn't get to choose his partner and I would lose respect for him if he didn't praise her after not winning.

I too hope that next year it is more about the dancing and not all the fluff.

Oh, and Cheryl is a good dancer trainer but I wouldn't be sorry to not see her next year. She now has a fan base which would give her next partner a huge advantage.

I certainly would not use the word "pimping," especially when it comes to children, but so what? I thought it was interesting to see the people behind the people. Mario's proud mother (I am curious why we heard nothing from his dad), Emmitt's and Joey's beautiful families (I didn't know Emmitt's wife is such a knockout), Joey's family, Jerry Springer's daughter (who didn't cry on that one?).

And if you want to talk numbers, I think with Mario's family reunion, we saw much more of his family than Emmitt's or anyone else's.

Danzdol...you said that if the show is about the best performer and entertainer than it should have gone to Mario. But that is so subjective.

Mario flat out did not entertain me...ever. The fact that I found him so not entertaining also affected whether I even thought he was a good dancer or not. To me, there's more to good dancing than just doing the steps.

Others may feel Mario entertained them and Emmitt didn't. But I think it is all totally subjective. In this case, more people were entertained by Emmitt, picked up the phone and voted for Emmitt, and therefore he won.

Oh...and Dfng. The reason I dislike Mario has nothing to do with being an Emmitt fan. It has to do with the fact that I dislike him as a person...period. Being an Emmitt fan did not stop me from supporting Monique, Willa, Joey and Jerry in this competition. I have not liked Mario from Day 1 of this competition...that's it.

Oh and if Cheryl is not involved in the show next year, I'm not sure I would watch. I lingered after the first show this season because of her as none of the celebs screamed out to me. After that week though, I loved Emmitt and became a fan. If none of the celebs are fun to me, and Cheryl is not there next year, I probably won't watch....or if I do won't be nearly as into it. But that's just me...lol

Oh and I would be totally fine with her coming back and getting the Jerry Springer of next year. I personally would LOVE to see what she could do with someone like that. I think she could teach them to dance...maybe not win, but def teach them to dance.

Never mind, I googled, I didn't realize she was both blind and totally deaf in one ear. I am so stupid, I couldn't understand what the big deal was about him dancing at her wedding and why everyone was so emotional about it.

Jerry's daughter was born legally blind, deaf in one ear, and with no nasal passages.

On a different note: I was just watching all season for an Alec Mazo sighting. At least he was on for one dance! If he's not on next season I'm not watching.
