there's a height limit on the cha cha???

did anyone else notice Mark talking with an accent during their practice sessions?
Kristy has left me cold for most of the season, but i like their cha cha and freestyle.

duh - the judges are sure pushing for Kristi to win. She is the most talented but come on, that free style was no perfect 30!

Honestly, this is why it is hard for a women to win. She is judged far harsher than the man.

I actually thought her freestyle was the best freestyle technically that I have seen in all seasons.

Texannie, was it Jason that said that? He was making a joke -- Kristi isn't tall enough. More a height minimum. I think that was it.

I am so grateful for this site. I didn't have to watch DWTS this evening and won't bother with AI tomorrow. It is fairly obvious who the judges/producers are "allowing" America to pick. lol Far more entertaining to read here!
My fav shows have finales tonight, so can concentrate on them. :-)

I watched on the big screen, then came here. Agree with everyone's comments. I actually liked Cristian and Cheryl best in the cha cha and loved Edyta and Jason's freestyle.
The heavy push by the judges for Kristi turns me off. All 3 deserved to make the finals.

I agree with those of you saying that the show would really like to see Kristi win because a woman hasn't won since the first season. I think it's a foregone conclusion that she'll win, unless some major upset manages to happen. However, a lot of people must be voting tonight. I haven't been able to get on the ABC site to vote yet at all!

ACK! My cable messed up and I ended up recording the comcast logo for on hour and missed the whole show.

Does anyone know how quickly ABC puts these online?

I'd like to see Kristi win because imo she's the best, regardless of her sex! Best technique, most techincal routines, she's improved tremendously with her "personality"... I don't think it unlikely at all that she would win the viewer vote. We've seen before how people given high marks by the judges (Mario) were kicked out by the audience, so the judges can't just fix this.

Jason was very lucky to get through the early rounds when he was so stiff, although he has improved greatly. I still think his NFL-ness and his looks contributed to him lasting so far. I wouldn't like him to win.

I agree that Kristi's freestyle wasn't all that, but neither were the other two.

For once I didn't feel like the judges were trying to push Christian off on us and for once called it like they saw it. Bum arm = weak dance...which is what they should have been saying for 3 weeks now.

Jason reminded me alot of Emmit tonight...a big, brawny football player with better skills on the field.

I think Jason is so cute but I loved Emmit!

Kristi's freestyle may have been technicly hard to do but I agree .. it wasn't all that. I'm all for the girl power but it didn't blow me away.

does anyone have the phone numbers?
I think that Kristis was great, Christain was good and Jason was okay. I also thought she did best with the cha-cha. And I really did love Kristis freestyle, I said WOW out loud, didn't do that for the others.

I only have the Kristi number, which is in my redial on my phone 1-800-868-3411.

I enjoyed them all but especially Kristi and also find it refreshing that Kristi and her partner didn't feel the need to exopose acres of skin just to entertain us with a dance. LOL, not that some of that skin didn't look great!

It really has been a good season, I think. I think they all improved like crazy and enjoyed it but I'm sorry Christian had to deal with such a painful injury.

I hadn't tried voting online since the beginning of this season because the voting page never loaded properly. Tonight is the first time I've attempted it since then, and it's still giving me the same problem. Is it always like this? I'm just stuck on "Please wait" and the rotating circle thingy. Judging by how busy the phone lines were, this may come down to the online votes, and I'd really like to get mine in.

Kristi was very good, but it bugged me that they kept rubbing in that she's in a class by herself and that they don't see the others as being on the same level. Well, duh. That was true before the season started. It really felt like the show's pushing way too hard for her to win. They keep reminding us that a woman hasn't won since season one, and even the group dance ended with the two guys hoisting Kristi over their heads. Even when our local paper printed an article on the finale, it was accompanied by a huge picture of Kristi and nobody else.

I liked that Christian and Cheryl didn't rely on hip-hop to win over the viewers, although I do wish they'd done one less lift in favor of a little more footwork. I've never liked Mark's tendencies toward hip-hop (The moonwalk? Really?), and I was surprised to see Kristi smooching a judge for brownie points she didn't need. I was also surprised that Jason did so poorly at the cha-cha. His arms were just hanging at times like he forgot he had them. I knew latin wasn't his strength, but I didn't think he'd be that weak. His free style was okay, but not really exciting.

Whoever wins I'll be okay with. Kristi is very good, and a win for Jason would mean Edyta finally getting a trophy, but I'm still hoping Cristian takes it.

I watched the show on the west coast, after reading the comments here. I focused strictly on the non-professional dancers, and not on their partners. Kristi was the best, in both dances, so that's who I voted for.

If they are pushing Kristi, I think it's partly because if Kristi doesn't win then when is a girl ever going to win? It kind of makes the whole male/female competing together thing a farce if she doesn't win.
