Mario didn't look any to happy either but he made sure not to say anything there at the end when they were rolling the credit's so that it was on camera.

I loved how they were all holding hands at the end again, like they seemed to do each week.

Well, that sucked. Big time. I'm very disappointed in the outcome. I guess charm won out over talent. A real shame.

Ya gotta love Karinas "tude" it's her hotest trait. I dig women with fire in their eyes. I figured she'd be a tad pissy. It makes me smile. Hot Cheryl goes two for two so I'm cool with it.

Misspoufy I disagree. I think people voted for the couple that entertained them the most, and as this is primarily an entertainment show...what's wrong with that?

If people wanted the best dancer to win, they would not be watching this show. They would be watching REAL ballroom dancers in a REAL ballroom dance competition.

I want a couple to win who make me smile every week while also performing great routines. For me, thats Emmitt and Cheryl.

Llkoolaid I never got the Emmit thing either and thought he should have been gone a while ago but as I said earlier "for me" it was pretty obvious Emmit was being groomed as the winner this year for whatever reason. It wasn't by accident we had another retired pro-football player in this thing. Fun show. This was the first season I watched the whole thing. Last year I only watched periodically and laughed except when Stacy was dancing. PHEW she was hot and got totally ripped off but the guy who won was also good as well. Fun times. Next season I expect Gary Coleman to dance with Cheryl and Roseanne to dance with Moniques partner. Louie? I'm voting for Coleman already.....What ya talkin bout Willis? :-)

Chalupa if dancing didn't count then why have the pros. They should all just come on and smile at the cameras and do cartwheels and then yell.... GO VOTE!

To cover for a win like Emmits one has to go with the "charming" factor or else it would raise an eyebrow for some. In the end it really is just fluff and just a popularity contest. If Emmit hadn't of been as likeable he would have been gone weeks prior to the finals and people would have said... "he wasn't a good dancer"

LOL C1...I think at this point I would vote for whoever Cheryl was dancing with just to see more Cheryl...whether it was the token "old guy" or well...Gary Coleman...lol

As for who I thought should be in the final...I always wanted Emmitt there both for his dancing and his personality. But I would have loved to have seen what Willa and Maks could have done with more time. I also like that while it seems they are indeed dating they didn't use it to the extent M/K did. Even when M/W were asked questions they simply avoided it, while to me at least, M/K brought all sorts of icky...lol

Well I personally think Emmitt is a good dancer.

I do think personality plays into the equation, as it should. If I'm not mistaken, dancing is supposed to bring emotion to those dancing it, and those watching. Emmitt and Cheryl, based on their skills and personality, did that for me more than anyone else.

This is the same reason that I didn't like Stacy last year. The girl was quite simply a goddess, and technically great. But I got absolutely nothing from her while she danced. I didn't get any emotion from her, and I didn't feel anything myself while watching. That's why last year I liked Drew, Lisa, and Tia better than Stacy.

Loved the ending. Love seeing poor sports not win. Karina qualified for the poor sport award. Loved Emmitt's charm AND his dancing, contrary to other's beliefs.

I am so happy Emmitt won!! I love the fact that Cheryl got a second win in a row, too!

And I truly didn't think Emmitt was being groomed to win. Mario was at the top of the leaderboard almost every single week. Emmitt was on the bottom at least once, and quite often he was in the middle of the board. So I never thought that he'd be a winner, although I was really hoping for it.

I had the thought that Mario was a surefire winner, and so I'm glad that Emmitt did win.

I can't wait to see the reactions of Mario and Katrina now! LOL. (Evil, me, yup! Hehehe...)

See and the personality thing for me seems played. To me it was obvious that Emmit was laying it on thick with the smiling for the camera knowing it was giving him the edge in that area. Thats why I just never bought it. I focused on Cheryl to make it all work for me. Now I did think Stacy was hella cute both in body, face, and personality. Now the hyper bald dude had enough personality and energy to share with a few and he should have given some of it to Lopez. The dude came off like a ball of lint with dimples.

BTW, Chalupa, I agree about Stacy last season. I totally didn't enjoy watching her dance. I guess it was a lot like how I felt about watching Mario dance. I just didn't CONNECT to their dancing. However, last season... truly, it would've been hard to beat Cheryl and Drew and the cowboy thang. They had such exuberance and style in that dance.

I don't think either finalist had the same caliber or excitement in their freestyles last night. Which kinda surprised me.

I always thought the show was "grooming" for a Mario/Joey showdown and would have been thrilled with that. They pimped that whole thing so many times in the first couple of weeks it drove me insane.

As happy as I am for Emmitt...I am SO happy for Cheryl. That girl is the reason I still watch this show. IMO If anyone deserves to win this thing back to back...its her! Now let's hope she comes back for Season 4 (although she seems to love being a part of the show so I can't imagine her not coming back...lol)

OH! And loved seeing Drew again!! Wish the tour was coming closer to me so I could see him and Cheryl...but I am not venturing to Long Island or Jersey just for those two...lol

Well now I did enjoy watching Emmit do his MC Hammer thing. We were laughing pretty hard at that one.

Nah I knew it was never going to be two young guys in the end. They pimped that for early ratings but I knew only one of the young guys was making it to the end. I figured the bald dude would get the boot before Lopez. I think his hyper self scared a few people. My wife would say after every time he spoke... "Damn can you imagine what he is like after two candy bars and a cup of coffee?" Zippity doo dah! LMAO

Costa...I think the lack of caliber and excitement in the freestyles last night came down to having to do three dances in one week. Last season, each finalist repeated their favorite dance and did the freestyle. I think that was on a Thursday. Then the results weren't until Sunday (they did it special for the last week) and on that show they did a newly choreographed routine. So leading up to Thursday's show the only new dance they HAD to have down was their freestyle. They had a day or two more to focus on their other new dance.

I just think learning 2 new dances, relearning an old dance, and learning how to do lifts is a LOT to cram into 5 days.

And C1...I guess we will have to disagree on the personality thing bc I totally think Emmitt's smiling was ALL him...not simply for the scores. We can agree on Mario's lack of a personality though...lol

Chalupa I always agree to disagree. :-) I don't doubt that Emmit is a genuine guy I just think he knew to lay it on extra thick. I mean when the Judges are telling him his main feature is his charm you can bet he's gonna flash that smile and work the charm. It's sorta like a hot woman. Someone tells her... hey your body is awesome. It's not like she's gonna wear 3 layers of clothing and a parka and come out looking like Nanook of the North hahahaha. Yes we agree about Mario :-)

And you know what I just thought of...

While Karina has every right to be upset about not winning or whatever...I think the fact that her whole pissy face and "Mario is my champion" speech came right after Emmitt's victory speech where he did nothing but praise Mario and Karina only made Karina look that much worse...

Again, I totally get her being upset, but after Emmitts classy victory speech...kinda not classy on her part

Did you expect Karina to be gracious? I haven't even seen it yet and I could have predicted she wasn't going to be all that gracious if she didn't win. I know this sounds weird but her "tude" was the charming part about her for me. She didn't take the road of sucking up with Charm she just threw it all into the dancing. I actually thought her and Lopez were evenly matched in personality. It would be a quarter toss on who was the bigger diva of the two. I'm betting she could kick his ass and I would have paid good money to see that one LMAO

YAH For Emmitt and Cheryl!!!!!

I wonder if they will let Cheryl dance next season or if they will put her with someone they dont think will win.

I think she brings out the best in her partners and is a great teacher.

I agree C1...I have said all along this season that Mario and Karina were a PERFECT match this season. The fact that Karina is dancing with Harry Hamlin on tour now that Ashly DelGrosso isn't going makes me a little scared for Harry. I don't think he can handle what Karina brings...

Personally, I prefer last year's Russian spitfire Anna over Karina. She was a blast!

And while Karina (I think) is probably the best technical dancer out of all the pro's (based on her competition winning and such), I don't think that makes the best partner for this show. Not that she wasn't good this year, but should she come back next year and get someone who doesn't respond so well to the "dictator" way of coaching, then her talent isn't going to mean anything.

That's why I like someone like Cheryl, who can bring the dictator when its needed, also the fun, as well as the talent.

Pamy...I think she will def come back if asked, but I do think she will be put with the Jerry Springer or Tucker Carlson of next year. Who knows though? I agree that she brings out the best in all her partners...

Pamy Cheryl better be back! She's the reason I'll be watching again next time around. They could pair her with some over the hill has been in a wheel chair and it would all still work.

i happen to love emmitt, but i also think mario is absolutely adorable. great smile, huge dimples, just sweet. karina has turned me off a lot. i really didn't care who won, would have been happy with either. however, if i look at it as 'who learned more and improved' as they went along, i would say emmitt...for learning all brand new things, while mario was already seemingly in the 'swim of things'. mario was good from the start and emmitt had to learn more, IMO.
too bad cheryl didn't save the "save a horse, ride a cowboy" for this season! LOL
