I am almost 50, and I am not sure if I could. I used to dance, and I think I could learn all that, and would love it if I could. But I admire the hell out of her and Jane for doing as well as they did.

Well, that was a let-down by Marie. Not even trying for the mirror ball? Just dancing for her "doll fans"? I've enjoyed her dancing / performances until tonight. I hope she does come in third. She should. I expect she will, but . . . . Go, Helio and Julianne!

i must have dialed 100 times for Mel and only got thru once i'd be happy if Helio won but i think Mel is a bit more deserving. it's not her fault that Maks' choreography isn't as exciting as Julianne's (though it's still very very good)

Awesome freestyle from Helio! Thought the judges were way too hard on Mel for both dances. Not the marks so much but the comments (actually for all of them). What is the point of ragging on your final three? IMO the point of the final is to celebrate a season of improvement and entertainment (its the Mary Sunshine in me LOLOL). I would happy with either a Mel or Helio win. Mel has been more consistant so she has a slight edge but Helio should definately be recognized for most improved. I adore Marie but feel she should have been out a few weeks ago.

Max sealed his fate w/ his mouth. Helio sealed his fate w/ his routine. For those of you who has rewatched...were mel and max on the couch at the end of the show when helio was getting his scores?

Hmmmm forgive me as I may be as cranky as the judges tonight. Tonight was really blah for me and I got annoyed all over the place. I have always been quick to say that Marie didn't dance as well as the others but I have never really been annoyed by her until tonight as some of you have through the season. I thought her dances were the sloppiest of the season tonight and scores were generous. I can't stand when any of them talk back to the judges even a bit, but she was way over the top with that tonight. And I am sorry I don't give a crap how good she looked or danced for her age, that doll dance was ridiculous in my opinion. They all dance better than me in my 30's but not only am I not out there to be judged; how good you dance for your age is not a criteria in my book. I have always thought Mel was the best of the dancers left, but tonight I found her to be endearing as well. I wonder if she gets a bad vibe from so many of you because of him. I thought it was very endearing and sweet of her to be genuinely excited that her friends showed up. I also thought she was the most gracious to the judges, she acted sincerely happy during the scoring. Helio I love and I have always been a huge Julianne fan. I thought he got judged too harshly on his first dance, I like the second but I thought it was more 9's than 10's. But the one thing that annoyed me was Julianne tonight. I didn't like her reaction to Carrie Ann and the other thing that Julianne has done for weeks is when Samantha asks her question to Helio she always jumps in there with the answer, she tried tonight but he was too excited to let her take over. I find them fun, but I think I have to stand with my original post in this thread that it has to go to the best dancer, and I think that is Mel no question. I know, cranky huh? I did get excited for the first time in watching the previews for Bruno and Carrie Ann's new show. I think it is looks good. I also think for a final dance show they all dropped the ball tonight, last week was sooo much better.

I adore Mel! I think she's a wonderful dancer. I love her personality, her spirit, her fun! I never knew much about her before but I sure enjoy her now! Go Mel!

at least we didn't get any cheesy hip-hop dances during the free-style.

I share Stacey's "blah" feeling. This is the first time I'm not voting for anyone in the finale. Nobody had that wow routine that pushes them over the top, and I don't want to make my choice by who was the least disappointing. It felt like Marie gave up with that free style. She was dancing only for her doll fans instead of including all the other fans who were voting for her. It felt like a farewell number, like she had no dreams of making it all the way. On the one hand, that may show that she's very aware of her dancing abilities, but on the other hand she shouldn't have given up. Her coach should've also known better. The doll number was a bit embarrassing, but they could've pulled off the concept with different choreography. Keeping her in a stiff position through most of the routine just made the whole thing awkward. Having said that, all the freestyles were disappointing to me. Helio still spends way too much time standing still while holding Julianne's hand as she whirls around this way and that. Mel and Maks spent too much time not dancing. They're in chairs, they're on the floor, and then they throw in a few token ballroom steps. I like when the freestyle number shows just how much ballroom dancing the contestant has learned throughout the season. I don't want to just see a series of tricks, one leading into another. I want to see fancy footwork with a couple of tricks to make it memorable. On the positive side, I was thrilled to see that this time the judges didn't cop out and give everyone 10's as they usually do in the finale. They actually scored them according to what they did. Good for them. They kept saying this was the best season ever, but I sure missed Apolo and Leila tonight.

I didn't think Max was arrogant in his Extra interview. I think he was being honest and at the same time he seemed dog-tired. I watched a Larry King show where Mario Lopez was sitting in for Larry and the final three contestants were on. Marie kind of took over talking about her singing tour and all the stuff she's doing while she's also doing DWTS. She's a bit loud and muscles her way in by talking over people. And while I do think she's quick witted, I also wish sometimes she'd just keep quiet and let others have their time. And as for the others, they weren't there overselling themselves. Helio, Julianne, Mel and Max seemed honestly humbled and delighted to have come so far. I didn't get that same sense from Marie, unfortunately. I also think tonight the judges' scores were somewhat ridiculous, considering they've been giving Marie high marks because she's entertaining - yet they've known her technique is weak. Suddenly tonight they seemed to have a "come to Jesus moment" and scored more appropriately.

Perhaps it's that we didn't get to really know Mel outside of her joking, spunky side. Marie we know all about, and some of us have felt connected with her since way back in the 70's. Helio has such charm that he just has to smile and you're ready to reach through the screen and pinch his cheeks (the ones on his face I mean). With Mel we only saw the working side of her. She seems like a fun person, but she may not have connected with the audience as much as the others did. I think that's what the judges felt when they said Helio was a combination of both Marie's and Mel's strengths. Mel has the dance moves, but you could hear when her freestyle was over that the audience didn't scream quite as much as they do for Helio.

i wonder if that is why mel and max were not sitting on the couch's at the end of the show when helio was getting his scores. the couples are always sitting back there. maybe brumo's comments or the roar of the crowd ticked them off. who knows, eh?

No matter who ends up winning the trophy on this show, the one who has achieved more than anyone else is Helio. Here is someone who is not a performer, not in show biz, who came into this with a questionable fan base. He is up against two musical performers who have experience not in ballroom dancing but in following choreography and stage movement and who arrived with established fan bases. Helio has not only learned ballroom dancing, he has excelled at it, shined as a performer, and shown the world a warm and delightful personality. Congratulations to a real winner: Helio Castroneves.

I never really liked Mel before DWTS (not a Spice Girls fan). I found the attendance of all the SG tonight to be a nice show of support for Mel. Of course, little miss sour puss (Vic Beckham) was there with her sour expression but the other girls were very supportive (not that Carrie Anne enjoyed their jeers when she was giving Mel her critique LOL). This season has endeared Mel B to us here. Our son was very taken with her tonight. He rarely watches the show (he's 14 and has better things to do with his time) but I do believe her cleavage kept his interest during both her dances. During the rest he was off eating dessert and cleaning nodding off LMAO

Maybe they weren't there because they were in the restroom, or maybe they were standing off to the side, or maybe..........
