LOL Lurk For me I don't personally "hate" Marie. I don't think Costa can say she agrees on that one with me though! But, for me it has always been about the best dancer, I find Marie to be fun and entertaining, though I avoid all the ET stuff, but I think Marie is leaps and bounds below the talent that is left. I think in the past and even with the Emmett and Mario that I never felt that big of a difference in the talent, maybe I have just forgotten, which is highly possible! Marie for some reason though evokes this need from some to defend everything she does and therefore brings out the extreme other side in many that must blast everything she does out of principal. I don't what it is, there always seems to be someone like that on these types of shows where at the end of the season you are reflecting back and you think, why on earth would I have defended that or good heavens why did I let that bother me so bad. I use Yahoo as my home page and she is all over as to "how the public got it wrong" and that she should be gone. So Yahoo are not believers right now either gang! This is funny and I apologize for going off topic if the mods need to delete it I understand. I just thought you would all appreciate it. Most of you know that I am recovery from back surgery which has allotted me more time on this site. At any rate, today I had my neurosurgeon appnt and we have become family friends with him. My mother was telling him that I was bored out of my mind to the point that I have become passionate about the goofiest stuff. He looked at my mother puzzled and she said, oh ask her about her show ideas for DWTS or don't even get her started on this jerky guy on the Bachelor (those of you that read both threads will understand) He jumped up and he is this real short man and said, NOOOO I will not ask, I have to hear all about it at my own house, my wife is obsessed with some old '70s icon, if I am told one more time, "Stanley, come look at her hips" I am going to shoot myself! Then he goes on to say and that "stupid bachelor my wife cares more about that guys actions then our own daughters wedding at this moment! You would think that he had left one of her own kids for how she is caring on about him." I started laughing and my mother said, yes but Stacey takes it farther she debates it on a website with people! He stood up and said "I am running from you both and if you dare tell my wife there is a website out there that will listen to all of this nonsense I am never doing another surgery for you!" And with that he left! My thoughts are that some were out there I am probably debating this all with Dr Stanley's wife and I love every minute of it! Go Mel and Helio (until I am forced to pick a fav!)

LOL wonderful story Stacey, thanks for sharing it. And I loved your ideas for the F4 on DWTS...that would really make the contest more about the talent of the stars. "I do not like Maksim. As a matter of fact, I actively dislike him quite a bit." Wow Ginger, I guess you know something I don't know. I only know him from DWTS and nothing else. Care to share?

The finalists and their partners are on Larry King Live right now! Mario Lopez is filling in for Larry. It's a fun show!

OMG, they didn't show the face of who was doing to interview for almost the whole first 5 minutes when I tuned in. I only heard his voice...I kept thinking "Why is Willie Garson hosting in place of Larry?"...Then the camera turned and it was Mario!

Boberg, just let me say that you have to live in Brooklyn NY or one of the 5 boroughs of NY to understand why I feel the way I do.

I liked Julianne last season. She seems different this season. Her tan and her hair look awful she seems much cockier and more forced this time around and I feel like TPTB have pushed her because she's a commodity to them, not because she or her partner have earned that spot. I liked Helio at first, then he stopped improving. In some ways, he got even worse. He and Julianne reacted poorly to receiving criticism. She began choreographing more and more of their routines around him, instead of with him. Helio is lauded when his real talent is holding back wearing costumes which obscure his lack of talent while his partner dazzles. Instead of the judges addressing these flaws, the flaws were ignored. They were given perfect scores. Helio was told he'd had the best quickstep ever. All the other choreographers were put down to make Julianne look better. Good dancers were given lower scores for complicated, interesting dances while someone standing around gets a thirty. Helio's called consistent when he's been anything but, now they just bug the hell out of me and I can barely watch them. I think Marie is a sub par dancer but she deserves to win over him.

Boy, Dahli, I don't think we've been watching the same DWTS. My observations are a complete 180 from yours.

It is interesting how people can watch the same thing and form completely different opinions. I think Helio and Julianne are the most entertaining as well as the best dancing couple. Julianne is (IMO) the best of the pro dancers in personality, teaching and the way that she brings out the best in her partner.

I seriously think Julianne must be one of the best dancers in the world. I suspect she will become a huge star. love her!!

Sharinia, I've been thinking the same thing. I asked my DH if we could adopt her.

I agree with all of you above. Julianne has to be the best dancer of all time, with her brother close behind. I think Helio did back off a little a few weeks ago, but he's right back at doing his dances very well. They both entertain me so much. I do hope they win.

Just read Julianne's bio on the link. Whoever wrote it does not have a good command of English, grammar, punctuation, etc. (Not that I'm the greatest....)

I really think Helio will win and it's mainly because couples dancing has always been about showcasing the woman, the woman is the one that has the flashiest, sexiest outfit and does most of the flashiest moves. Our eyes automatically focus on the woman so when you say that couple was great it is usually cuz the woman rocks I believe that is why men usually win this. That is why it would really be more fair to have a male and girl winner every year. Watch Helio dance or most of the men(only watch the man, do not watch girl) and you will see for the most part he is just doing things to showcase his partner, she is doing all the spinning and flashy stuff. Yes, he does do some great moves but compared to all the stuff the girl does it isnt that much. If you do that you can see Mel or Marie deserves this more than he does cuz they have much more to learn and execute Even with lifts involved it is still done to showcase the woman but the man does work much harder in those type dances

That's why I'm not much of a fan of Helio's, that and the continuous grin. I'm not sure why the judges score him so highly unless they're looking at Julianne.

Pamy I thought that way too until I watched an episode on my computer. I watched the last episode up close and paid very close attention to the moves Helio was performing. He has some really hard moves to keep up with his partner and I was impressed - and I wasn't impressed when I watched it on tv. I guess I just don't pay enough attention to him because his partner just wows me all the time.
