YAY!!!!

I think it's sad that some try to take away from a person's success with conspiracy theories. This is not a true dance contest. It is entertainment and we vote for the person who entertains us the most. This season the votes went to Emmitt. However, I will give Karina the award for Best Sore Loser.

Emmit wasn't laying it on thick. He is genuinely a very nice guy. Other than the announcement of who won, my favorite part of the whole show was seeing Roger Staubach. This man is a legend who played for the love of the game and not for the big bucks because back then there weren't any big bucks. And he's my favorite Cowboy ever.

ETA: Pamy, I think they did put Cheryl with someone they didn't think would win this year but got fooled.

LOL It's not like those that appreciated Emmits charm would ever think he was laying it on thick. "For Me" I totally thought he was laying it on thick but yet I think to the core he truely is humble. If that makes any sense. It was a fun year. I always said, if I did vote initially all my votes would have went to the bald dude but after he was gone it was all about Cheryl. So by default Emmit would have gotten my votes anyway. I would justify them by saying I did vote for the best dancer ... which would have been Cheryl. This all works for me. It's like saying... Well I voted for so and so because they grew in the comp and were charming. Just another reason to justify my favorite choices :-)

Okay, I gotta weight in with my two cents here.

I'm on the west coast so haven't seen the show yet, but am completely pleased with the news of the Emmitt win.

Is Mario a great dancer? Yes. Was his dancing entertaining and something that captured my attention? Not always.

Is Emmitt a great dancer? He is now !! Was his dancing entertaining and something that captured my attention? To my surprise... YES!!!

I found myself more and more captivated by him each week. The past four or five episodes, I found myself watching him dance and only after he finished did I realize I had a big silly grin on my face. Mario never had that effect on me. He's a great dancer, but his dances never entertained me. Emmitt has Springer's charisma and charm, and Mario's talent. And he's SEXY !!! He's got the whole package.

I'm a reality TV junkie to the max, but this week was the first time in all of my years watching reality TV that I actually felt compelled to pick up my phone and place a vote. That's saying something. A good friend of mine confessed she actually voted last week as well, and it was a first for her also. That Emmitt could compell two people not usually inclined to participate in the voting process to actually pick up the phone and place a vote really says something about him.

Emmitt and Cheryl not only danced great, but they were also great entertainers. It takes both to win. They deserved this!!

Lastly, just gotta say... Cheryl, what a great talent she is !! Not only a great dancer, but a great teacher and a great choreographer. I never thought in a million years she would be part of the winning pair two seasons running, but she deserved this and I'm happy for her too.

Anyway... just had to say that.

Carry on...

I agree, Ladytex. I loved the ending too. Emmitt exuded confidence, charm, great strides in improvement and he was humble to boot. He and Cheryl deserved that win.

Didn't expect anything less from the less than classy Karina. Shameless snub and putdown.

I guess they should stop allowing people who have any prior dance experience because they will have a disadvantage right from the start. They won't be able to use the ol... "They grew durring the comp" routine. Every time I watched Lopez I always said... I don't know there is something about the guy I don't care for but I have to admit this guy can dance.

Emmit I enjoyed watching in part because of Cheryl and It was unpredictable. Doesn't mean I bought that he was a good dancer. You weren't sure how it was gonna go but yet you knew that the judges were going to gush over it 9 times out of 10. So really at the end of the day the sucky dancer has the advantage in this thing and the better dancer would be the underdog. America will always champion what they percieve as the true underdog but it helps when the show sorta points that out by hinting about it. Reality shows are fun. Well most of them. That bachelor show has gotta go.

I also don't get the conspiracy theories. This is a silly dance contest, for pity's sake. Nothing important. One of the reasons we didn't watch season 2 (not that we had even heard of the show in season 1 till after the fact) was all the BS that was in the news about the runners up and the winners being in some kind of face off and some uproar about the winner. This is supposed to be entertainment. This is NOT about being a professional dancer or it wouldn't be called 'Dancing With The (has been) Stars'.

I think they need to replace the judges next year if this show is going to do another season.

I realized that Emmitt and Cheryl had completely pulled me in last night when I put down the remote (I had dvr'd and was FF thru commercials) to applaud them.

Jezzed, I'm not one to vote either but I did this morning on my 4 different e-mail addresses.

I may have missed it somewhere, but did anyone else notice that they didn't say the voting was really close this time as they usually do in these sort of competitions.

I think the show itself invited "conspiracy" on the dance floor when they did a "re-do" dance off from season one because some were pissed at the outcome. How could anyone be pissed at the outcome of this show is a joke. It's all fluff and fun. The winner gets some dorky looking trophy. It's not like the winner gets a job dancing on freakin Broadway.

The show is all about fun. I know that they work hard but if ever a reality show was pure entertainment, this is it.

Somebody in the Orpah thread said that they were on today and that Karina is dating another dancer. Can anyone verify that??

Am I the only one who actually thinks Emmitt can dance as well as Mario? I think one reason a lot of people think Mario is better is because his body build and youth seem more suited than Emmitt's. They just can not see that a big man like Emmitt can be every bit as good as Mario.

One thing that has amazed me about Emmitt this year is his footwork and how light on his feet he is. He is very graceful and beautiful to watch. And he is every bit as good with his technique as Mario.

Yes, he has a great smile, is charming, and very personable. But Mario also has a great smile, and I think he is also very charming. And damn, but that boy is handsome. And sexy as all get out.

So I don't think it is all just that people voted for Emmitt because he has a great smile. I think a lot of people really believed he was the best. People's taste vary greatly when it comes to performances of any kind.

If someone like Tucker or Jerry had won, yeah, I would be screaming. But by the time you get this far, the ones left are so equal in ability that it does come down to intangibles.

If Mario had won, I would have been disappointed, but I would have accepted that there were just more people who thought he was the best. I would not be sitting here saying that it was just because he was so good looking and sexy.

Allietex,
No you're not the only one.
I thought Emmitt was every bit as good as Mario. Maybe not week one, but by the half way point of the season, Emmitt was matching Mario dance for dance. I would not have felt compelled to vote for Emmitt on personality alone. I felt he danced as well, plus had the entertainment factor, which in my mind made him the winner.

Mama I saw them on Oprah today and didn't hear anything about Karina dating another dancer. She did ask them about it and they said something about how it was edited to look like more than it was and they were disappointed by that, and that this is a reality show first so a showmance had to be there...something like that. I think they said they are just friends or something like that...to be honest I usually tune Mario out when he talks bc I don't ever really believe a word that comes out of his mouth...lol

Now I know about all sorts of tricking editing (Big Brother...lol) but I'm pretty sure even the Emmy Award Winning Editors at TAR couldn't put Mario's lips all over Karina if they weren't there to begin with...lol

Allietex it's always gonna be a subjective thing when it comes to stuff like this. "for me" there is no camparrison between and Emmit and Mario when it comes to dancing. I thought Lopez was by far the better dancer, but yet I am cool with the winner. Not because I honestly think he was as good or even that he supposedly grew in the comp. I'm just cool with it. Maybe the Cheryl factor? Who knows. I don't know a paso dobla from break dancing. I just think it's a fun show to watch.

It was worth every minute I've wasted on this show to see Karina rolling her eyes at the outcome.

That was great. She made it a point to let everyone know that Mario should have won with her comments.

No congrats or anything for Emmit and Cheryl. I'm with C1...I had my money on Joey...lost my ass.

I can dig it and a chance to see Ashly again is worth it. :D

What I love about this show is that there isn't a "bad guy" among the contestants. There's no fighting, no bad-talking about each other, etc.

To me, Mario is the better technical dancer. His body just "moves" better than the Big E. However, I'm thrilled that Emmit won because I've enjoyed watching him get better each week and he looked as though he was having alot of fun. Plus, Cheryl is fabulous!

Don't remember whom asked about the judges, but they were on Extra tonight and said they all would be back next year.

One thing about Mario is that he said he had dance from when he was a kid, so that to me gave him an advantage.

The difference to me on Emmitt's and Mario's smile is that when Emmitt smiled it was soft, sincere, and sexy, when Mario smiled it was for the camera, as tonight I noticed he didn't have that HUGE smile on his face when he was doing the oncore.

I missed Katrina's eye roll, sure wished I had TAPED it but I was taping the Biggest Loser so I couldn't.

is ashley delgrosso pregnant?

and, the show just may bring a broadway job for Mario. what confused me about him, was in all these years of him being on TV, he never had a spanish accent. all of a sudden, on this show, he's talking w/ an accent.

YAY!! That's all I'll say. I got to watch a fair amount of this, just the actual dancing when possible.. and I love Emmitt.
