See, Sea? That's why I quit watching at the beginning of the season. Cuz I thought the judges were being too NICE to Melissa! Personally, I'd like to hear that Cheryl won again. Who won last season? I can't remember...

I'm okay with all 3 winning, but preferably Gilles or Melissa considering their dancing overall this season. So glad 2 of my fave pros are in the finals! Cheryl and Tony. (Admittedly Tony & Melissa's freestyle was clunkier than the others... plus they had the misfortune of dancing right after Shawn & Mark blew the roof off the place. Hopefully they will be judged for the whole season and not just that dance, by the voters/fans.) Tony wants it so bad... I'd love for him, and Melissa who is an amazing dancer, to take the prize. I'll even do a happy dance for them. LOL Gilles... yummy and boy can he dance up a storm, that man puts his heart and soul into each performance. I loved their freestyle and was yelling and clapping at the screen. LOL And Shawn & Mark finally won me over with their eeyepopping freestyle last night!

I swear to God, I couldn't vote... because I just love everyone in the final 3 and couldn't decide. But..I do have a funny feeling Gilles will be 3rd. I thought the flashdance thing was a little flat.

I thought they were a little hard on Melissa last night. They reamed her most of the season for being too balletic so she comes and does something completely different (albeit with too many lifts) and they wanted to see her balletic side. I wish Tony had choreographed a dance that started out slow and graceful and then kicked it up a notch showing both sides to Melissa's dancing like Cheryl was trying to do for Giles.

Why oh why didn't Cheryl have Gilles do a Samba or Rhumba or Cha Cha or ANY dance ending in an "A"?? He stole the show when he performed those sexy, hip-quivering, fun dances. Baaaad choice. It just reinforces my opinion of Cheryl that she is too often all about Cheryl and forgets that this is all about the amatures.

I just watched Shawn and Melissa's dances again and granted, Melissa's dance had more aerial moves and flips, Shawn spent an equal percent of time on the floor bouncing around. Both dances spent the about the same amount of time actually dancing. Maybe someone can explain what "free style" in dancing means anyway. In most sports you get better marks for more stunts.

Just watched last night's show. I really enjoyed Shawn and Melissa's dances, even though neither were really my kind of thing. Giles and Cheryl... what happened!? He looked clumsy even. I agree with the person above, if they'd done anything romantically sexy with Giles the audience would have lapped it up. Yet they get higher scores than Melissa and Tony? I think I want Melissa to win. Does anyone know if tonight's first hour is just a repeat of last night?

If you go by the DialIdol numbers, and based on my calculations, Giles probably has this wrapped up unless he bombs the final dance tonight-I mean even if he got 27 and Shawn got 30, he'd win.

Aurora, I think the freestyle is supposed to be a dance. It's not a gymnastic routine or an acrobatic routine. It's supposed to resemble a dance with lifts.

To me Cheryl made that last dance more about her. It didn't seem like she showcased Gilles enough. He was kinda hidden behind her most of the time with not much for him to do.

Peapod, I came here to post the exact same thing. It seemed like the dance was all about Cheryl. She should know by now that that isn't going to win it, or maybe she's so sure it's in the bag that she wanted her moment in the sun LOL. I think Gilles is a lock, but I kind of love Shawn, she's so tiny and she works so hard.

Do we have a final two or a winner yet?

I wondered if part of the problem w/Gilles' freestyle was that he couldn't do as many lifts with that shoulder problem. Although he certainly could have shaken his hips more! I did like the slow parts, but admit that Cheryl--who usually IS good showcasing her star--did seem to dominate this time. Even her bright pink costume dominated. I didn't like Gilles' top at all.

No, they're talking to all the stars from this season and they're all doing a dance. The F3 all have to dance, then judges will score / decide. I don't know / remember if one of the three is eliminated or if winner is picked from F3.

Oh my, I didn't realize this was TWO HOURS tonight! I may not make it to the end. No, we don't have it narrowed down at all yet, Nettenaz. If anyone needs a rest room break, skip the roast part by the comedian (I don't know his name), at just about the 1/2 way mark. It was really poor. About the time he made a remark about Tom Bergeron, I couldn't take it and turned it down.

Hypermom, I totally agree. It went from bad to worse with the so-called roast. Please don't let him back on the show again. When you turn the sound down, you know it's bad.

Thanks Beth4freedom, on the west coast. So I live for the spoilers in order to get family things done.

Yup, the roast guy is pretty much a non-talent.

I really want Melissa to win. I think the fact she came in with the least amount of prep time (for the finalists) and managed to be consistently good the whole season (Except the week of her injury) was really impressive. I hate to say it as he seems like a good dancer, but the judges' constant drooling over Gilles (no matter how good or bad he was) pretty much turned me away from wanting him to win. I like Cheryl (even though I totally agree that the freestyle was her showing off) and again, he's a good dancer, but I've had a bit too much of him. I'm ok with Shawn winning as well... As Kitt asked, is the first hour last night's show over again?

10:20 PM EST: FINALLY, one of the finalist pairs gets to dance (Shawn and Mark in first position). It was a LONG wait. About to give judges' scores. Remarks for Shawn: "The longer you go, the stronger you get." and Technique and performance both = great. (That from LEN!) "We underestimated you" = quote from Carrie. Scores for Shawn 10-10-10
