Curlyq, this is what it says on the site.

On Tuesday, November 27 (the "Finale Episode"), the couple who received the lowest score on Monday will be announced, and the two remaining couples will compete in one final dance. Each judge will deliver an individual score for this dance. The winner will be the couple with the highest total numerical score (to two decimal places), calculated as the sum of the "Judges' Finale Score" and the "Public Finale Score," as those terms are defined below.


And then below that they just explain the %.

I think Marie, with all the publicity, could have been the favorite to win IF there weren't Helio and Julianne or Mel and Maks as the dashing dancers they are.

Unfortunately for her those two couples are too wonderful to hope even for a second place.

I'd rather have Helio an Julianne as the winners because Mel, even if such good dancer, didn't excite me as much as them.

Let's hope tonight it will go smooooothly again for Helio.. gotta stop fast forwarding to see the ending first and rewind to enjoy it. (I can't take the suspense)

If anyone is going to miss the dancing the UK version is on week 8 with about seven couples left, and you can catch up on the whole season on youtube, courtesy of the poster below. It's youtube quality, but very watchable.

And I recommend as a taster darling Matt, who's my favourite:

I think he's secretly (possibly not so secretly) in love with his dance partner.

Uh Oh...Even if Maks truly believes what he says (and I don't believe it), it wasn't very nice of him to say that stuff.

Bonza thanks for the link!

hehehe Maks is in trouble. What, he just made about 50,000 people mad at him.

While it can be fairly and honestly argued about others being a better dancer than Marie, for Maks to imply that her votes are SYMPATHY votes is just plain wrong.

Bet he gets in trouble (posted in my best sing songy voice) hehehe

Y'know, he came across kinda honest and fatigued to me. He didn't say anything shocking really, and the interviewer is the one who brought up the sympathy vote. I liked that he wasn't as strident or arrogant as he usually comes across. And frankly he has a genuine point about them wanting to be judged soley on their dancing, and not that Mel's kids had/have chicken pox, etc. Course, now that he's put that out there... maybe it will score some 'sympathy' votes for Mel. (wink)

I still find Marie the most endearing, Helio the most entertaining, and Mel the most polished dancer.

Interesting, a bunch of people here at work who only know about Marie because of the divorce, faint, death of her father and son going to rehab, all say she is getting sympathy votes. I tend to agree.

Won't keep me from voting for Mel/Maks.

I think Maks's ego is getting the better of him. I liked him better when he wasn't speaking. LOL.

Just for that I'm going to vote for Marie, it has nothing to do with sympathy. My vote is because I watched the Donnie and Marie show as a kid and loved Donnie and drooled over all my albums. And I'm free to vote how ever I want.

People who've never heard of Marie?!?! They must be young pups.

I enjoyed the interview as well and it hasn't changed my opinion. Maks and Mel should win!

Brenda I didn't mean haven't ever heard of her, just that the only things they have been hearing is not about how she is a great dancer, but that she is getting a divorce...etc.

Well I'd hardly compare chicken pox to one's father passing away.

I thought Maks was just being honest, it was the least 'cocky' I have seen him act in an interview.

He is a professional dancer and was giving his opinion of which star is/was a better dancer ~ that is what the interviewer asked him.

But as we all know, being the best dancer is not the only reason people vote for you. If it was a competition to find the best dancer then only the professional judges opinions would be necessary. The public votes, and every week we hear: ~ "Vote for your FAVORITE" and the public vote absolutely has an impact on the results!

Other than Marie's fainting in public view, I understand that everything else has been brought out and up by the media. It was Larry King that made her son's rehab public knowledge, not Marie.

Personally, I think Maks would be wiser to work on keeping his arrogance in check rather than worrying about who his opponents should be. He always comes across prickly in their rehearsal segments, and while some women like that for others it's a big turn-off. Then this public statement just makes him look ungallant (the nicest word I could think of without getting censored). He and Mel seemed to take Sabrina's ousting very personally, so this shouldn't surprise me, but it's uncalled for.

If sympathy votes were keeping people around Jane would still be there. Her problems were publicized and plentiful, but that wasn't enough to keep her in the competition. It's worth pointing out that she was eliminated after making critical public remarks about her opponents.

People vote for Marie because they like her, plain and simple. Maybe some of them are women who identify with her, and others just find her endearing. In any event I don't see any reason for Maks to be complaining about who gets votes and who doesn't. He should be focusing on winning fans over with more than just bare skin. And how is baring skin for votes more honorable than Marie neglecting to keep her father's death a secret? Besides, how many times have we been reminded that Mel's preparing for her Spice Girls tour and so very busy? How many times have they worked the other Spice Girls into her segments in hopes of getting their old fans to vote? Didn't they also do a segment about poor Mel having to contend with a flu virus while rehearsing and working on a video? They've all been using whatever they can to get votes, with the possible exception of Helio.

Interesting what Curlyq says above: "They've all been using whatever they can to get votes, with the possible exception of Helio." Interesting, because I was so surprised to learn last time that Helio is engaged to be married and postponed his wedding to do dancing w/the stars. First time I'd heard that, and I don't think we've ever seen his fiancee. We DID see his parents that one time, but that was producers' doing. Helio really seems focused on the dancing and the winning, not extraneous stuff.

Also interesting to me was the fact that Sabrina kept her personal relationship w/her partner private. After so many seasons of guessing that there WAS a relationship between partners (Mario and Karina, Max and the blonde dancer whose name I can't believe I've forgotten), it's interesting that when there finally WAS something developing, they kept it totally private.

Marie and Jonathan are up next.

Not only can't she dance, but she's way too mouthy and full of herself. I liked the shy Marie from years ago, not this show-off.
