Does anyone remember Dr. Stan from STARTING OVER? He just posted this on his FB page:

My cousin Jennifer won DWTS and they say Jewish women can't dance!! Way to go BABY!

I remember Dr. Stan. "Cousin Jennifer" huh? Whadaya know!

I think about Starting Over every once in a while. I'd be happy to see the program come back -- in Chicago where it started.

Wow, hadn't thought about Dr Stan in years. I actually got to meet him (and Rhonda and Iyanla) at a Starting Over rally thing at a mall and I had a very positive vibe from him. Good speaker, too.

Congratulations to the finalists-the winner Jennifer,no small feat for a 50 yr old,and to Bristol who is a very young mother with a baby to tend to and to Kyle, BUT Im glad its over.Such an embarrassmnt that our countrty is focused on some huge Tea Party conspiracy~all that partisan energy should be used for concern with the tension in N/S Korea etc.

If "they" hadn't thrown all that in our faces (particularly the bloggers who were bragging about how they were promoting how to vote for Ms Palin more times than allowed), this would have been nothing more than a minor tempest in a teapot.

And Ms Palin really needs to stop and think about the image she is portraying. If she wants to be a role model, she needs to stop doing what she did on Facebook and stop giving the finger (figuratively, in her speech) to those who she perceives don't like her or her mother.

I'm glad to hear Jennifer won. I think she deserved it. And once again, I'll say this... She did NOT have any more experience than any one else on this season. She wasn't a great dancer when she was training for her role as Baby, and she didn't continue training after that movie. Coupled with her neck injury and other injuries/surgeries, I'm impressed to hear (and see the bits I've seen) how graceful she was.

And I still have no clue who Kyle is.

Okay, forget about the internet highjackers, the producers plotted this all along at the expenses of Brandy. I don't mind, I too like Jennifer, I thought Brandy was a bit too "woody", but definitely should have been in the finals. The producers like controversy and laugh whey they see the fans blame online voters for that, I don't see why they don't like to see 2 strong competitors in the end, they just like the 'obvious' winner against too weakest finalists. I noticed they did this in previous seasons as well. Well, I don't mind their devious methods since this time I like the winner as well. I can't believe she's 50 !!!

Yay! My 15 votes this season for Jennifer were not in vain!! Congrats to her and Derek!

Believe it or not, only two other people in my real life even know anything about the controversy on DWTS this season or last. LOL, only people really paying attention are people who watch and people who follow Sarah Palin's twitters. lol, really we are the ones who are obsessed with this show and get passionate when we feel our favs are being treated unfairly.

Saw the DWTS cast on GMA this morning. The pros were asked what "star" they would like to dance with. Derek demurred and didn't answer, Mark knew exactly who: Jennifer Aniston! But who was it that Lacey said? Anyone know? I don't think I knew the person or I would remember. Thanks.

I think that Bristol's statement about "giving the middle finger" to all her haters...that just proves how classless she is. Enough. Oh, i heard that Mama Grizzly ants Christine O'Donnell on. I really don't ABC will let any more politicians back on. Oh yeah, Christine O'Donnell..is that a politician? or is she an "activist" too :-).

Maybe if Christine O'Donnell is on, she can skate to Season of the Witch :-)

I think Tom Delay was on the show for the same reason that Paul McCartney's ex-wife was on, to clean up the public image. A lot of the people on the show are on either to reignite a career or to clean their image - next year - Charlie Sheen!!!

Well, besides the ratings being high for DWTS this year, the ratings also dropped when Kate Gosling was voted off, so we are insured of having controversial performers for years to come.

Bonbonlover, I'll always be rooting for the underdog, especially someone like Bristol who performed well and met the challenge as she did. Having said that, I'm happy for Jennifer and Derek.....from the outset I thought they were outstanding and deserved to win.

LOL I gotcha Rainbow LOL

I thought you were reading this thread as a West Coast spoiler as the show was airing on the east. When you posted I thought you were still holding out hope that Bristol would win. I was making no judgement as to who you should root for in life... just wanted to let you know that Bristol had, just seconds before your post, been eliminated.

I think the worst all 'round "star" this season was Michael Bolton. He could not dance, could not perform / act (during dances), lacked personality (any time), and, geeeez, he got his feelings hurt. Had to cry to the media. That went no place and he disappeared. Yes, Bruno's comments were sharp . . . . Bolton should have just gone on and worked harder. All in all, he did himself no favors being on DWTS.

I am just catching up with reading all the posts since the show ended, and I have to say Woody I agree with everything you've said! Thanks for the big laugh lines!

And Sadiesmom I fear that you are correct about them keeping controversial people on for the ratings. Bristol is no more a star than any other teen mom who made a terrible flub in judgement and had a baby way too soon. She's quite immature and raggedy around the edges. Someone said upthread that she has a very large fan base. I disagree. Her mother has a very large fan base. Aside from being the pregnant daughter of a politician, exactly whom is her fan base? (That's rhetorical, of course.) Sigh. I'm wasting too much oxygen talking about this.

Jennifer did deserve to win, and I'm so glad she did. I would have liked to see Kyle win, too, so either way would have been fine with me.

I could care less about who came to the show experienced or not. It's a dancing show so I like to see great dancing. Perhaps if they had a "Dancing with the Underdogs" show, I'd actually root for the underdog. I mean, it is what it is.

I'll keep watching each season, because there are some people who will actually be dancing. But this season was a TRAVESTY of gigantic proportions!

I just don't like bad dancing. My biggest frustration with this show....and I know that is the premise to start with next to no experience and grow, but I would prefer if all of the "stars" they chose had tons of dance background or tons of dance potential. I still connect with So You Think You Can Dance much more because it is all about excellent dancing.

Glad Jennifer won. I have always liked her. I hope this gets her more acting roles. I always wanted her and Patrick Swayze to do a sequel to DD set twenty-five years in the future. Hate that it won't happen.

I may be in the minority, but I found everyone likable this season...even those I found to be bad dancers.
