there have been other female athletes on the show, Shawn Johnson, Kristy Yamaguchi. Both won. Kristy was an easy pic due to her gracefullness from her skating, but Shawn was stocky, short, and not your "typical" female shape, but she still won. *I* feel, Hopes attitude towards any criticizm was her downfall. She got suspended from a soccer team for critisizing the coach for not playing her in a game the team lost, and she was was telling these judges to kiss her ass before they even scored her performances. She WAS good, she did improve, but she still wasnt up the caliber of other dancers, and yet felt she was entitled to higher scores. dont forget, half the scores that sent her home, came from the viewing audience. I felt bad for Maks, he is an amazing dancer, and just once, I would like to see him win!

Since it's reality T.V., we don't even know if that is *true*

After the arranged wedding, I am skeptical of all reality television.

I am disgusted by tonight show and judges . I am not even getting exited and start rumbling about it . Kardashian 10's and J.R 7 from Len ?

to me, Robs first dance was better than JR's, and it pains me to say that! But JR's freestyle was FAB!!! I told my honey that there was a good chance Rob could come from behind and win this, i dont want him to but...........Rickis freestyle was weird and not very good IMO. Still hoping for JR, we shall see tonight!

JR has some great technique and has developed so much! Rob too, but he is just not the best. Riki has some real talent. Rob has developed too- but remains stiff. I know I have a rich-kid bias going about him and he is probably a really good guy. But all of those 10s- UGH!! NO!! His steps are not clean.

I loved JR's free-style!! The drum beat interpretation was amazing. He did not do as well wity the other routine and he said he was off, but that "7" was wrong!!

I just feel like it is rigged and frankly wish there was no audience voting. But that is what draws people to the show and $.

I think I am going to be mad tonight at the results.... Either JR or Riki should be the winner and I think Hollywood politics will be present.

It will be kewl to see all the others there tonight and overall, I feel like Chaz did a great job. He isn't really someone that I see as a trans spokeperson, but, I think it was great he did the show. But, it was so damn painful to read some of the things people said on blogs and FB, etc.

GO JR, GO Riki!!

Ricki

How the hell did that even happen?

I don't think they should let fans vote on the finals. If it was all on the judges Ricki would have won.

Thank you for your posts , I am grateful that you can eloquently summarized the episodes . I love this sport , I don't know you , but I understand you have a knowledge and I agree with your assessments of dancers .

I am happy for JR to win , he did deserve it . I don't dislike Rob . I personally think he is one of the best Kardashians . Yet , he is still stiff no matter what .

I was rooting for JR and I was concerned when he ended in the bottom , but then again taking in consideration ratings there must been some suspense .

I can't wait when you post your opinion on the last night show , because I already know I will agree .
