Awesome! That would up the ante... it wouldn't just be a show featuring B or C list 'stars' anymore.

I look at Helio first... then at Julianne. Fantastic couple!! Mel is very good too but she leaves me cold when looking at her. While Helio and Julianne make me wanna dance and my heart rate speeds up... (Thank goodness it's almost over, I can't take this suspense for another week). I'm just glad that we have Helio and Mel as better than Marie, the fans may vote for her again but it will make the show a laughing matter if she wins because of her fans. I'm sure the producers want the best to win...not the more popular one.

Spunky, Mario was the OVERALL BEST last year, but he didn't win... Emmett who was MOST IMPROVED & MOST CHARMING won. And since nobody laughed then... I don't expect much laughter if it happens again. Mind you, I don't think Marie has a real shot at winning. I believe she'll be weeded out and come in 3rd. Which she deserves, if we are going by dancing prowess. IMHO. And I think, that the producers want the most ratings, and they don't care who wins as long as the ratings are high. IMHO.

there were some of us that didn't think that Mario was the OVERALL BEST, that may be why he didn't win. I thought he was the better technical dancer, but I didn't like his or his partner's attitude and condescension that showed in their dancing. Their performances were not the best to me. Therefore, I didn't think he was the overall best.

I didn't care for his partner at all either. The poster girl for SOUR. LOL.

They showed condescension in their dancing? I don't remember seeing that at all, nor am I sure what that would even look like. I just thought they were really, really good. I liked Emmett too, by the way. I saw some clips last week of him in a football uniform without the helmet. After seeing him on DTWS, it was a shock to see him dressed out for football again.

the first year the most popular won also. Her soap fans voting. (I agree about Mario's partner, I think that hurt Mario)

Some random thoughts... The "I'd rather watch Donny and Marie than <insert fav celebuwreck here>" is irrelevant. Marie is competing on a dance show. All of the hoopla on ET, starting with Donny co-hosting, is seriously suspicious. There ARE other people out there to cover. I also disagree that it's "fate and timing" that Donny and Marie are getting so much attention on ET and their site. When ET first comes on, that's all it's about. Donny and Marie. And isn't ET's favorite ploy to tell viewers to click the Hot Topic button or whatever? It's like trolls urging people to go to their blog, just to get more eyes on the blog so that blogger can say "10,000 people viewed my blog this week! As if! Marie would never look as good as Mel if she had Maks as a partner. Marie can't dance as well as Mel. Watch Marie's feet. Watch her hips. Then watch a professional female dancer. Then watch Mel. Mel is closer to a professional than Marie ever will be. Of course, watching Marie mouth off to the judges each week (while almost all of the other contestants just nod and smile or say "thank you") hasn't done much to endear her to me. I agree about Mario also. Karina was absolutely condescending, and I think she hurt his chances more than helped him. There were times when I thought both Mario and Karina thought they had the thing won. And that kind of attitude probably didn't help much. I also didn't think Mario was that great a dancer.

ET is smart jumping on the Donny and Marie bandwagon because it makes good business sense. The Osmonds remind baby-boomers of their youth and in turn this large market-group with $$ tune in each night to get their latest Osmond fix. Probably generates a lot higher ratings than the celebuwrecks latest escapades. So I think it is all about the bottom line. Now didn't Texannie tell you that you couldn't post your renegade against-the-grain thoughts??? LOL!

Costa, turning on the tube and seeing Donny everywhere is annoying to me too, due to the timing. I think it's hurting Marie, rather than helping her. I adore both of them but this uber-promotion is overkill for many fans like me, and especially non-fans. I also find his being on ET extremely biased on ET's part. But then I feel that if they had one of the other Spice Girls (for instance) on instead, just as much, I'd feel exactly the same way. I don't think it's fair to have someone who is related to a current contestant interviewing the other contestants. Just really sets off my ick-factor. Once again, I adore both Donny and Marie. I am thrilled spitless that she's in the final 3 and I like all 3 who are left, and any way this ends up I'll be a happy camper.

Marie mouths off to the judges every week? I must have missed that. For me it doesn't really matter if Mel is the best dancer in the world I wouldn't vote for her simply because I don't like her and while it is a dance contest, personality plays a large part of it.

All of it makes me want to go in storage and find my Donny and Marie Barbies honestly, oh with the purple pink dress, she should wear that on her final night!

I was super impressed with Helio's dancing this past week. I thought they looked like a professional couple! I was so shocked to see just how good he was! I thought he was good from the start, but then there were a few dances that weren't that great and I might have missed a dance or two, but this past week, WOW! All I can say is GO HELIO & JULIANNE!

The cover is one of those extra long ones. If you unfold it you will not only see Marie, but also Jennie and Cameron.

Could someone please remind me how this finale works? After all this time I still can't remember how they go from three down to two when there's only one more vote.
