[mandy200587]

Thank you HELIO AND JULIANNE!

 

[mandy200587]

I'm rooting for Helio and Julianne after that free style.

What was their score?

 

[mandy200587]

29

 

[WDWLVR]

I voted for the first time all season. All my votes went to Helio and Julianne.

I like Marie as an entertainer but there is no way she deserves to win this.

 

[chirurgeon]

Thanks for all the scores.


Go Helio and Julianne

I like them all but LOVE Mel and Maks. Marie and her family have actually overexposed themselves lately, somewhat of a turn off.

They are my favourites by far as well. They dance great and just seem to be a lot of fun.

 

[Beth76]

Wow. Marie's freestyle was completely horrendous. What were they thinking?

I liked Helio and Juliana's freestyle, but not the jive. I just couldn't take my eye off her terrible shoes. Just like when Heather Mills wore tennis shoes for one of her dances. It sounds silly but the shoes completely ruined it for me.

 

[Disneymaddness]

I'm voting for Marie unless she bombs completely

I would say that she did...that dance was a nightmare!

 

[Donna]

Is there somewhere online I can watch the show live? They are showing the Steeler game on my ABC affiliate. I don't want to wait to see this until tomorrow after work. Help, please.

If I can't watch, please let me know what it happening


TIA

you can watch it online once it's over at the DWTS website. you have to download the player though. Once you download it, you can watch all the shows that are available online (desp. housewives, etc.)

There's more than one side to the dancing competition. There is the techinical aspect, the audience aspect, and also the artistic aspect. I think all of the final three are wonderful! Mel B. has the techinical aspect, (although she should look up and not down so much), Helio has the audience aspect (He is so engaging with his smile!) and Marie has the complete artistic and stage presence aspect (from her many years performing). Any one of the three could win and I am happy. They all have different styles and they all are great in their own way.

I'm a TOTAL fan of Marie's but that last dance was a really bad choice. I wouldn't vote against her so I might not vote at all. Whatever happens it has been really fun watching her (up until that last dance when I kept cringing!!!!)

 

[Mean Queen]

In a way, I kind of blame Jonathan for that. He's the choreographer. For the past several WEEKS they've been given the critique to add more intricate steps in. If he had added even 30% more steps in, during all those glaringly obvious pauses, Marie might have had a real chance. Very sad.

I think if she was capable of doing more, he would have put it in there. But she looked like she was going to pass out again after the intensity of the samba. I can't imagine what she would have done with a dance like Helio's or even Mel's (which I thought was mostly Maks dancing and her posing.) I was sorely disappointed in the freestyle finale this year. I really expected more from Mel and Maks and something less weird from Marie. I put my votes in for Helio and a few for Mel.

 

[kaygela]

I think Marie is adorable and I have so much respect for her, especially her representing some of us of a more advanced age, but that freestlye dance really stunk up the room. I love Helio and considering he was the only one without entertainment experience, I think he is amazing. I am rooting for him.

 

[aclov]

I was so looking forward to watching tonight especially the freestyle, but what a let-down. I've seen better in past shows. And Marie, I really like her but her routine was awful. She looked cute that's about it.

I've only seen her first dance tonight so I'll have to reserve judgment until I see the rest. I'm not watching it live--because I'm making dinner for the FAM in between watching it. They always (FAM) get in the way of my TV viewing! Just kidding of course.

Darn that FAM!! Be sure and post what you think after you get to watch!

 

[Pam]

All my votes going to Marie! Max is a jerk!

He spoke the truth. Have you seen any of the ET or Insider shows the past 8 weeks? Every week Donny Osmond is on there trashing Marie's competition. He really spoke against Mel and Maks since last week's show.

I like them all but LOVE Mel and Maks. Marie and her family have actually overexposed themselves lately, somewhat of a turn off.

I totally agree with you. Donny's obsessive pimping of his sister makes me want to barf.

I have to disagree. I read the article, and I personally think he speaks the truth. I am sorry, but Sabrina and Jennie were definitely better than Marie. Jane and Cameron were able the same. I do not feel she deserves to win based on her dancing abilities. Hoping for a Mel B win, but would be very happy if Helio won.

I agree.

I tried to vote for Mel and M-M-M-Maks for at least 30 minutes and couldn't get through. *sigh* I liked Helio's dance, bit I thought that Marie stunk. I have never liked Marie, so I can't say if that was fair or not. I didn't particularly like Mel and Maks' dance either, but at least it wasn't some scary animated doll thing. What the heck was that all about anyway? The producers gave her HOT music ("Start Me Up") and they turned it into a marionette show for toddlers? Yuck.

My only consolation is that should Marie make it to the final two she WILL NOT win. That is clear from the judges. I would prefer Mel to win over Helio now that Sabrina is out of it but at this point anyone but Marie is a-okay with me. I STILL think Sabrina was the best dancer of the bunch.

 

[KrnB]

I really wanted a woman to win this year, but I had to put 3 of my 5 online votes to Helio because he really nailed that freestyle. The other two went to Mel. I'm sick of seeing Marie there so I finally got motivated to vote for the very first time (I don't vote on any of the reality shows).

I'm another one who was disappointed with Mel and Max's freestyle. It was just weird - disjointed is definitely the best word to describe it. With as good as those two are together, it could have been (should have been) soooooo much better!

The cha cha was pretty good, but I kind of had to agree with Carrie Ann - I guess I expected it to be better. She's kind of like Sabrina was early on - when you're that good, the expectations are higher

I do think that Marie's samba wasn't bad, but it did deserve the three 8's she got. It would have been pretty good as a mid-season dance, but it wasn't as good as it should be as a dance for the finals.

And the freestyle - ugh. Some elements were very cute/clever, and I do think the concept was kind of a neat idea. But i agree with Len eek:!), something got lost in the execution. A better dancer might have been able to pull it off, but the technical skills just aren't there (the lifts looked awkward).

I didn't think that Helio's jive was as bad as the judges' scores indicated. It wasn't perfect, but it didn't deserve two eights.

His freestyle - now that's what we should be seeing in the finals. That was fantastic!

As for Max's comments, while I totally agree with what he said, I do think it was in poor taste for him to say it.

I also think that the comments that Donny has made in the press the last few weeks are also in poor taste, and I think that Marie has milked the struggles in her life more than she should have. She should have taken a cue from Jane, who was very professional in the light of her mother's passing.
