Helio's engagement is off. Link I think Julianne's engagement was broken some time ago -- during DWTS 4? ETA: More details here.

Well, engagements or no engagement, I'm just happy for Helio & Julianne! He acted like a kid who just got his firt gift from Santa during all of his interviews. It was his personality and his dance ability that won this for him. I think BOTH are needed and appeal to many people. As good as Mel was dancing, I didn't feel the joy I felt watching Helio. He just made you want to stand up and cheer for him.

Actually I said Jerry Rice was second. I meant second place, not the second wonner. I thought he came in second place the year before Emmit won. Was I wrong?

I'm trying to remember... Year 1 - Kelly Monaco and John Year 2 - Drew and Stacey Year 3 - Emmitt and Mario Year 4 - Apolo and ? (who came in second last year?) Year 5 - Helio and Mel Is that right? Who came in 2nd last year? It is a total blank for me. Was it Leila Ali? Or was she 3rd?

My on why the females do not win this contest....because most of the voters are female...not all, but a large majority. Females have a history of turning on one another and easily having their heads turned by a charasmatic charming male. Helio is definetely a charasmatic charming male, as was Emmitt and Drew Lashay. It's just history repeating itself.

Denecee.... LOL Helio's ex-fiancee must have seen what I saw!!! Well, if she called it off she didn't love him enough to forgive Helio's 'longer' kiss to Julianne... Jeesh..

LOl, now you have me wanting to hear that they are "seeing" eachother. I heard Helio this morning on the radio saying that it was over with his fiancee. He said something to the effect that it had ran it's course.

Re: Helio's breakup, I saw that coming a mile away, weeks ago... IMHO, I think he had probably had a deal with his ex-fiance to keep things under wraps until the end of the show, and that's why at the View he probably was trying to not let this negative thing spoil his shining moment and I don't blame him. But once he realized the cat was out of the bag, and he's probably been advised to bite the bullet and come clean, he has and he's coping well by focussing on the joy of the win rather than anything negative. Also my gut is telling me that Marie probably split after the show and didn't go to interviews in New York, etc and is laying low, cuz she's probably worn out her welcome. I got the feeling from all the comments on the show and in interviews I saw before the last show, that folks were fed up with her drama and the focus being always on her in the media. AND they were p'od that Sabrina wasn't in the finals, etc etc. And she smartly went home to her family and most likely as Donny said, to her son in rehab. I do believe that she would have participated in the media frenzy etc if she felt comfortable about it, and was prepared to hear some more about how she was really undeserving of even 3rd place, etc etc. Anyhow, that's IMHO. And I still think she's awesome! And happy for her that her career is back on track. I think it would be wondaerful to see her and Donny onstage again in their upcoming stage show.

Marie chose to be with her 16 year old son who is in rehab.

I always feel bad for the one who gets left behind. I hope his fiance is doing okay. It must be very painful to watch the man you love generate such real life sparks with another woman on national television.

On Extra the other night, Helio said he didn't mention it on The View because the show was about DWTS and he didn't want to bring his personal life into the interview. BTW, Marie's Christmas Show appearances start tonight already at Grand Casino Hinkley in Minnesota.

Mame - Marie is apparently busier than that so prepare to be more tired on her behalf! lol http://tinyurl.com/2knxtr Marie Osmond Debuts Dancing-Inspired Dolls November 29, 2007 Couldn’t get enough of Marie Osmond this season on Dancing with the Stars? Perhaps the next best thing is to bring her home for the holidays. On Thursday, November 29 at 6 p.m. ET Dancing, fans and doll collectors can unite. That’s when QVC will unveil four Dancing-inspired dolls for sale. [...] ... article goes on to say she's got Christmas shows starting now and the Dancing Tour in January ...

Helio's handling all this very well. Ya gotta like him. He's not a total virgin to all the media, etc. I listened to the sample of Julianne's recording on iTunes. I like it. I'll probably buy it.

There seemed to me to possibly be sparks on Helio's part, but I didn't really see it on Julianne's. She seemed to pull away from him a bit at times and use those subtle moves that women use when they want to keep the relationship unromantic.

Marie was not on QVC today, she sent her representative who has been working with her for 23 years.......that representative said Marie could not be there because she had a concert tonight. The dolls looked like Marie in three of her DWTS dance costumes. She is not wasting a minute trying to make some money off this experience. She also did a blog thru out the show (DWTS) on QVC...if interested I am sure you can go to QVC.COM and see her dolls and blogs...personally I am not into dolls.

Good for her. I cannot see anything wrong with her wanting to cash in on her time with DWTS. She worked her butt off, literally and figuratively. So, huzzahs for her!

Awwww....Mameb! I'm all for them cashing in on this, even though it appears hokey and contrived at times. I'd rather someone get some sort of success after that sort of hard work than for nothing but having a good publicist.

I can see Marie's commitment to Dancing with the stars but with her son in Rehab I am having a hard time grasping her desire to go on the road to do a concert tour, then on the road again to do Dancing with the stars tour, marketing her dolls, etc. Nothing wrong with cashing in but with a sick kid, I would be closer to home and letting him know that he comes first

Maybe the tour was booked before Dancing began and her son had trouble.

While her son is staying at the rehab place she may not even be allowed to visit him much, if at all, those places are strict about things like that. She may only need to available by phone. How old are her youngest kids, btw, or all of them for that matter?
