Wow! Seems like a lot of Kayla dislike going on, and I can't for the life of me see any of the negatives being listed. No Personality - Huh? Sob Story of Grandpa. Huh, again? And what in the world did she say wrong in her interview??

When I watched Kayla, I saw a beautiful, poised girl, who graciously took all the heaped-on praises from the judges. I saw proud, loving grandparents supporting her. (made me wish my grandparents were still here to support me in my efforts). I heard a simple interview of a young lady who loves her dancing.

I was truely surprised by the negative vibes being sent Kayla's way. Now i'm going to go replay a few of the shows and get back into a happy place, enjoying ALL of the LOVELY and CHARMING dancers.

I'm with you, Spoton. I actually enjoyed all of them. I was sad that Janette and Ade went home so early, but they each had to be eliminated eventually. It was hard to see any of them go. I am happy for Jeanine, though. I never in a million years would have predicted her as the winner a few weeks ago. She really did grow with the process.

Thanks Stormie that was great. I wish they would do stuff like that again. It was fun to watch. :-)

No one said anything about a sob story of grandpa. What we SAID was that grandpa sobbed a lot. A big difference, yes?

And apparently we aren't the only ones who saw no personality as it was mentioned last night -- ON TV, by the judges.

Anhika, found this about him, thought it was interesting.

Shankman was a dancer in Janet Jackson's “Escapade” video,[4] as well as in a MC Skat Kat video with Paula Abdul. Shankman broke into professional choreography in a 1989 music video for rapper MC Shan with director Julien Temple. When the hired choreographer fell through, Shankman lied and said that he had done choregraphy for Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. He was hired on the spot without his story being verified.[4] Shankman began choreographing movies that included actors such as Marlon Brando, Sarah Jessica Parker, Antonio Banderas, and the cast of Boogie Nights.[4] He is Brendan Fraser's exclusive choreographer.[4]

I think the judges say things to sway votes, bc they change their minds on a dime. I honestly have seen Kayla as a very dynamic dancer, who has performed brilliantly this season. I think Nigel was 100 percent wrong in saying she just now showed her personality, as I have seen her personality, along with her dancing skills, all along. I also felt that Nigel was 100 percent wrong in trying to burst Evan's bubble over and over and over again; he said little about the performance and ragged on him all night.

And I do like Jeanette, but I didn't see what Nigel went on and on about, I thought he went over the top. I did think, though, that her paso doble performance is what helped her win, but she also performed it with Brandon so, I figure she was more popular than he in that moment. With the exception of the level of skill with a type of dance style, or lines, the judges comments are mostly aggravating to me--there is a huge difference between a sexy routine and a sexy person. I am tired of shows being so cynical and critical, rather than constructive, it's not entertaining to watch.

I like dance a lot, what to do, what to do.

I meant Jeanine dancing the paso doble, and Nigel going on and on....

YW Terolyn. I think it would be great too, maybe they were too busy this season bc of the next show.

Monday Jeanine is scheduled to be on the Regis and Kelly show.

I read Nigel may be meeting with Paula Abdul about being a judge on this show. If that's true, I think it would be great.

Babyjaxmon - I think you missed my point. I'm not suggesting that was anything nefarious about Shankman accidentally "spilling the beans". There was no judging left to be done so I have no problem nor do I question the panel knew the outcome. Remember that the elimination process changes midway through the show and it is the popular vote that determines who goes home and who stays not the judges. I'd have to go back and look at the DVR but I think the judges have no say once it reaches the top 10 or 12. Might add that these kind of shows are not subject to the same regulations governing quiz shows where the results can be reasonably expected to be objective based on answering questions. With "reality" based entertainment it's pretty much all subjective and is more of a popularity contest than a skill competition. I see no conspiracy in any of this, just Shankman having a slip of the tongue.

The judges have no say once it's top 10. That's public vote only after that.

That said, I didn't see it as a slip of the tongue. I interpreted as making it all the way to the top of the finale (F4) and not all the way to the top as in the winner.

I don't think I was responding to you, Mack. Someone had suggested that the producers might have manipulated the votes to get the result they wanted and I just don't believe that's true.

Got you. I would hate to see that any reality producer manipulate public vote. I know it's been a concern but I don't know if it's been proven. It's bad enough sometimes to watch them "play" with participants on say Bachelor/Bachelorette or Big Brother.

Was it me of did Jeanette not have the fiery spark that she did when she was competing, she was still good but her facial expressions weren't as crisp and and her movement wasnt as defined.

I had a feeling a girl would win this year, I called Brandon or a J named girl winner early on. My final 4 was half right! LOL

Kayla proved she deserved to be in finals with that piece with Kapuno.

Anyone see Christina APplegate crying in the audience during the cancer routine? I wanted to hug her.

I wish all of them the best and hope all their lives are blessed.

I am so excited that we get another season in a month!! I will be on dancing overload but loving it! ABDC, DWTS, and this!

I enjoyed the finale and LOVED it when some of the judges showed up in Mia's Chorus Line.. lol.. as they cam around the mirrors, I thought "who is that thick dancer, looks like Mia.. and it was so I had to run it back to see who was there.. I love that the past couple of seasons judges have participated a little bit.. put their dancing shoes out there after all that judging.

No, I didn't see Christina A, but I can bet that routine is poignant for her. If anyone wants to see it again, there's a clip right here.

Here are some interviews with Jeanine:

I saw Christina Applegate in the audience too, Pamy. She was really touched by the Melissa and Ade's breast cancer routine. She was sitting next to Lance Bass. I am surprised that we don't see more celebrities in the audience for the finale like we do with AI.

I really enjoyed seeing all the dances. It made me realize just how great these dancers are. I was really impressed with Mark, from last season.

I loved seeing Ivan and Allison. That was one of my all time favorite routines.

I missed the first and 2nd season so it was nice to see dances from those two. And I agreed with his choice of his favorite dance. That dance last season brought tears to my eyes that night.

My favorite dance is still Bleeding Love with Chelsea and Mark. I also loved the dance with Neal and Sabra (the office one). I find it interesting some of the dances they didn't feature, but I guess they only showed three dances from each season?

Enjoyed seeing the first two seasons' best dances too - missed those!

I found it interesting, too, Roxip, about which performances were chosen.

I was wondering why the door routine with Twitch and Katee wasn't shown.

I agree about Bleeding Love. It's in my top 3 for sure.

And didn't they show 2 dances that featured Mark? Funny the impact that he made on the season despite the fact that he didn't make it to the final 2. (Sorry, he was a particular favorite of mine.)

Rox, I noticed that too. They only showed one dance of Joshua and, also Benji, in his year. I'm not complaining because those 2 dances were my favorite from last year. Looking back, it makes me wonder why Mark didn't go further. He had an awesome stage presence.

Yes, Mark was great. Last season had so many great dancers with personalities to match, so I think it was just such strong competition. If Mark had been in this recent season, he probably would have made it to the end, IMO.

Agreed. Compared to last year, I think the personalities this year were kind of blah.
