Well in a few we will know for sure but to me it seems it's obvious it's going to be Emmit. I'm not sure if this "Dance" contest can even be called a "Dance" contest. It seems to be yet another "popularity" contest instead. Everyone has different tastes but "for me" Lopez is the better dancer. That doesn't mean I'd like to see him win it just means that "for me" he is the better dancer. It's funny that we should dock someone because they have had some prior dance experience. If that is the case why have someone like Lopez on the show? I've thought through the whole season that Emmit was overscored and last night was the same. At one point my wife was laughing at me because I said it's pretty obvious they are being scored on a different curve. Emmit could have come out picking his nose and drooling and they were still going to praise him. The show has seemed slanted in his favor pretty early on. Reminds me a bit of American Idol and it's why I never actually vote in these things. America many times will put talent on the back burner and vote based on "likeability" over everything else. In this case it's funny because winning this thing is not going to kick start anyones career in dancing thats for sure LMAO. I guess this show is all for us viewers. I've enjoyed it and I didn't think I would. I still think the bald dude should have won the whole thing but then again I thought the hot blonde chick from last year should have won. Still sticking with my early prediction that it's all about Emmit. I'm cool with that because he's "likeable" and after all thats really what it's all about... er.. isn't it? :-)

On American Idol, I would vote for what I thought was the best singer hands down. They are building a career from this experience and looking for a record contract. Frankly, we may have to listen to them sing for a number of years to come. So, I want the best singer.

For Dancing with the Stars, I wouldn't necessarily view the program the same. The contestants are already successful in their own right. With the exception of those who go 'on tour', these guys are going to go back to their regular lives after it is all over. There's no record deal or career at stake. So, I look at this based on a different set of criteria. I think that Emmitt made the larger strides from football player to ballroom dancer over the course of the program. Yes, he had an athletic background but to say that would transfer easily to dance is not always true (i.e.Jerry Rice) I liked Mario too, but he seemed to come in with more ability than the rest of the contestants. So, when I look at the 2 of them, the progression of Emmitt through the various ballroom disciplines strikes me more than Mario's progression. Therefore, I prefer Emmitt to win. Tomorrow (or next week), they will both go back to their regular careers and be successful in them as well. Neither are in the same class as a real ballroom dancer. But, that's okay. It's just a funky looking trophy they win, not a career.

Now see? I don't see a "it's obvious" anywhere. I'm hoping for Emmitt, but I don't think it's obvious he'll win.

My reason for wanting Emmitt and Cheryl to win is because I want Cheryl to be a two time winner.

Obviously anyone but Lopez would be seen as growing as a dancer throughout all of this because he came in with the experience. The others who had less experience will always have the advantage of growth, so it's easy to suggest someone grew as a dancer over someone who already has the experience. I honestly don't buy that anyone is really voting based on growth potential. I think it's an excuse to further support a pre-favorite. When you have a favorite you stick with them and no matter what they will get your vote if voting is a persons thing. I guess some would snicker if all a person could say was... "Ok, the other guy is a better dance but gee the other guy is just so "charming" so I'm voting for him. This way using the "growth" thing seems to satisfy those that may wonder about the fairness in calling it a dance contest if the only true reason someone votes for someone is the charm factor. He grew. Works for me :-) I agree that this DWTS is pure entertainment. These popularity contests are a kick.

American Idol truly is nothing but a popularity contest as well. After some of the so called talent we've seen on that show we already know that as fact. They create little fan groups... name them etc.. and it'a all about hitting the vote total. Those who have a favorite will say... Oh I like their voice the best but if you were to ask them the real truth they will include... Oh they are cute. Oh they are funny, Oh I love their life story etc... and the truth is I've never heard cute on a recording, nor funny nor life story on a recording. So talent in these things really is secondary. We love to watch. There is something in cheering on the underdog which going back to DWTS would be where Emmit falls. Fun stuff.

So far, Emmitt did his Samba and Mario did his Freestyle. There was a combo of (each doing 30 seconds of their last dance) Tucker, Shana, Harry, Viveca dancing. After the break will be the others kicked off.

No results yet.

THey have been having lots of filler stuff with showing how they all had to dedecate themselves.

Just now Harry, Shanna, Vivica, Tucker, and there partner's did a small dance by themselves, the one that they did when they were voted out.

None of the other's were on the floor that had been voted out

I'm surprised Tucker didn't go further. He stank it up but usually that type gets to stay for a while. I guess there was only room for one Jerry Springer this year.

Willa doing Rhumba... Max is totally HOT. Sara doing Jive (it's better than first time - probably because some of her stress at home is gone). Jerry doing his Samba. Monique Jiving - came running out into that huge jump where Louis catches her. Joey comes out tapping to Singin' in the Rain (Foxtrot).

Nice to see all of them again.

Video of friends and family talking about the dancers... Rodney Peete likes Emmitt's outfits. Eva Longoria didn't want Mario wearing tight pants until the viewers liked it so told him to keep wearing them.

I am so so happy to see Sara there as all day long the entertainment programs have said she wasn't.

Now they are talking Pat Emmintt's wife about his dancing, about the outfit's, now about Mario's outfit.

Interviewing Mario's Mother, George Lopez, Ryan Secrest Troy Akin, Elesabeth Berkley Eva Longoria.

OH Emmitt's Mother is so nice and so is his sister

Reg, I'd appreciate another set of eyes. It's hard to pay attention and type it out at the same time. :-)

Sometimes fewer words is just laziness... lol
