And internal scars are as hurtful as external ones. Although, I think JR is wonderful and one driven person. His Mom sure gave him love and security as a single Mom which helped get him through some hella tough stuff!

She and Chaz have some legitimate complaints. And my heart goes out to her as it does for JR in terms of horrible life events. Rob is not a better dancer than Hope Solo, period. Rob is far behind the technique and musicality of a male lead, which JR has. ahe and Riki also have some raw dance talent- Rob does not. He seems like a nice guy, but it is BS that he is among the top 3 in the finals. Totally Hollywood politics. The male judges see that he is not at the level of JR as a male lead. His footwork is not great.

I don't think she dances as well as Jr or Riki, but she should beat out rob at this point. He has no fluidity and does not have the athleticism that Hope, JR and Riki have in general- and part of dance is athleticism.

JR & Riki ought to be the finalists with one of them the winner. It's hard, because both have become serious dancers throughout the competition and obviously put in the hours.

If Rob takes this, I'm with you- it was bought and paid for.

thanks for this post , my feelings exactly
