I certainly enjoy watching Derek.. and am happy with the outcome. And I started out NOT liking Nicole. Started out thinking I would like Evan much more than I did.

Sea I actually agree with you. There was something in his attitude that just put me off. I enjoyed watching him dance, but he never drew me in. Conversely, I didn't think I'd like Erin much but I really came to like her, and enjoyed her and Maks a lot too.

But Derek & Nicole were just breathtaking and so much fun to watch. I'm really going to miss seeing them do new routines. I hope she comes back and does one with him next year! Glad one performance show Finale hit it out of the park tonight!

I take it Nicole/Derek won? I was so disappointed with tuning in at 8pm to see the finale, that when my favorites Erin and Maks were voted out, I realized I had seen enough and really wasn't enjoying it anymore. Switched to season finale of Parenthood, which I did enjoy. Meant to switch back for last 5 minutes of DWTS, but was too late to catch the winner.

I quit watching this season when it became apparent to me that Nicole would win because of her dance experience, and that was early on in the season.
I wish they would have contestants that had very little or no dance experience at all, except maybe taking ballet when they were a kid.
It makes for a boring season when there is an obvious "winner" in the first few weeks of the season.
I thought the point of this show was to take novice dancers and see how well they can be taught and see how they improve as the season goes on.

Can I just say how painful it was watching Kate dance again? I think she was worse than Chloris.

Fun to see Anton Ono in the audience. What a cutie.

At the beginning of the new program tonight when all previously eliminated dancers were coming on stage and dancing, looked like Kate couldn't even handle walking with Tony and moving the fan. She looked confused. Could not even learn the "walk"?!

Did Pam and Damian dance again tonight? Was it a "WOW"?

I'm not unhappy about the season- I just wished that it wasn't pretty much preordained from almost the start who was going to win. Plus, I never really warmed up to Nicole (remember, Nicole was on a reality show before). I'd rather see a more even set of contestants- when you hear next season's cast, I want to not be able to instantly pick the final 2 (I had Nicole and Evan almost from the start).

And it was bad form when Len said Nicole was the winner before Evan even danced- don't say who you think is the winner until everyone has danced.

Lurk to answer your question i am a Evan fan and no I don't hate Nicole. I thought she was the better dancer the past 2 nights and deserved the win. I also thought Evan was better than Erin and he deserved second. Evan being a skater let me know who he was and have an interest in him. But surprise it was his personality I liked. Where you saw cold and boring I saw shyness. As the judges said tonight he came a long way in showing emotions in his dancing. To me that was as much of an accomplishment as Erin's improved dancing. Also I did see a playful side to him.

Brenda, do you mean Apolo? He's my boy!

I don't get all the moaning about Nicole's previous dance experience. Can anyone prove she has ballroom experience? Erin also had dance experience, as did Evan. So all three finalists were on an even playing field. I also don't get how anyone could be bored watching that Argentine Tango--it was positively sizzling.

FWIW, I'd rather watch an outstanding pair of dancers any day than have to suffer through Ms. Gosselin's Frankenstein like lurches. I don't want to cringe while watching TV, I want to enjoy what I'm seeing. I'm so glad she's heading back over to TLC, which I'll be sure to avoid like the plague now.

To me, especially in the past couple weeks Evan seemed to become overbearing with Anna in the packages we were shown and in conversations during the show. Didn't like that.

Wilson, my head spun around when Len said that too. Not good.

Color, Pamela's dance was indeed a WOW. She's a hotty, lol.

Hmmm that's interesting Donnagg thanks. I never thought of it as shyness. I kinda wish I thought to ask this last week, so I could look at him with different eyes, as I really wasn't getting it. Not sure I would have seen him differently, but would have been interesting to try.

Color they did dance and I think it was with Niecy & Louis. I only caught the tail end of it, as nature choose then to call lolol. It's hard to watch 2 major reality finales in one night and follow 2 threads here. I knew I was overlooking something LOLOL. I plan to rewatch that part later since the ending looked amusing. Couldn't my bladder have yelled during Kate??!! LOLOL And that's what I saw w/Evan too. I think that's what really turned me off. Now I'm all confused again lolol

LOL Holly about the lurching.

Yes, I meant Apollo! My mom kept calling him Anton during the olympics (It's his middle name), now I'm making her same mistake.

YEs, if all the cast were Chloris, Buzz, and Kate, no one would watch. They need to cast people with natural grace and moves. People who have some natural talent to move will likely have done something to nurture that (dance, sports, cheerleading, etc.) whereas people who don't will likely not!

Whew.. still haven't started watching. Finished Biggest Loser charts and writeup and now well into American Idol.

Just seeing mention of Apolo Ohno (he seems to have dropped the Anton during the recent Olympics) makes me smile. He had a real joy about him that I love.

As for the Kates, Monicas, etc.. I think they are needed so that those people who don't hit the ground dancing can get 2-3 more weeks of practice and we can see how they will develop. If ALL were more talented, we'd be sending home several based on early shaky performance.

There will always be several who are early cannon fodder and the interesting thing is you cannot always predict who those people will be.

No way I would watch if it were all people with little or no dance experience. I don't enjoy watching the ones who aren't very good. Conversely, I thought the final 3 were all great and a pleasure to watch.

I watched Monday's show, and based on the two dances each I saw there, Nicole and Derek deserved the win. Nicole outdanced both Evan and Erin by a mile.

Was soooo bummed when Erin and Maks got voted out, I was hoping they'd at least make final 2. I really grew to like him over the past 2 years while watching his own personal romatic story evolve. First with that sour Karina breaking his heart and now being the knight in shining armour to Erin. Love watching that romance unfold. Curious to see where it leads. I wonder if an engagement is far behind. He is so totally smitten. I loved their dance on the bed... seems like he knew they weren't going to win, and wanted to go out with a bang. Pun intended.

Evan gives me the willies. I wanted to box his ears for making sweet Anna cry! His Olympic-sized ego which he kept in check most of the season really began to seep out this week.

Derek is a choreographer who is 2nd to none! No argument there! Although having a partner who scores 10s in her firstt week is always helpful. (sarcasm) I hate that he always seems to get the ringers. Yes she was exquisite and deserved to win. No argument there. But Erin had the best learning curve. Also would have liked to see Pam Anderson in the finals I think she was very talented but got cut too soon. I wonder how this year would have played out if Nicole had Pam's partner whatsisname, and if Pam had trained with Derek...

Delighted to see my gal Niecy shake her groove thang again. She's such a joy and lights up the screen.

And wasn't that an awkward moment with Kate stuck up there in that cage or whatever, looking like the world's biggest fool. Felt embarrassed for her. But no worries, cuz she 'will survive'. ;)

Well, it came down to Evan and Nicole, just as I (and many others) thought right from the very beginning of the season, even before the first dance.

I like them both ok, but I really want people who don't have a dance or Olympic ice skating background. I hope it will be like that in the future. As much as I enjoyed Apollo Ono, and speed skating is further from ballroom dancing than figure skating is...I want people who don't know how to dance or control their bodies the way certain Olympians can.

I thought all the former contestants' dances were rather hoeky. Kate can't dance, but at least this time she seemed to be enjoying herself. Buzz can't dance either, but he seems to be allowed to be bad. I, however, will not forgive ABC for putting the 2nd man to walk on the moon in a bad Liberace suit!!!! LOL Pam just left me cold as usual with her sex goddess act. Neicy did a great job! I was truly surprised at how Vienna did.

I was sad when Erin was eliminated. She was my favorite. I thought Derrick and Nicole were much better in the end than Anna and Evan. I kept thinking after Evan and Anna's last night..that was it??? It just didn't wow me like their earlier dances and seemed really short.


Did anyone see how long Mark Ballas hugged Derrick? I got so tickled cause Joel McHale on the Soup is always joking about their relationship. I immedicately thought 'that will be a clip on the next show'! LOL

I kind of thought it was odd that Mark runs up and throws Derek on his shoulders, leaving poor Nicole on the ground when technically SHE is the winner. Thankfully that hot guy from the soap opera came over and put her on his shoulders. Sometimes I think the professional forget this about called Dancing With the Stars, not Dancing with a Professional Ballroom Dancer, and that if it wasn't for their stars then they would still be only known in a small group of specialized people.
