DWTS 5

Every year it seems there's more "stars" I never heard of before.

Oh, and I see now why Louis van Amstel was on AMC. Cameron Mathison is one of the celebs. That means he's going to last at least til the top 2 or 3. He might turn out to be a very good dancer but having the AMC fanbase backing him up won't hurt, that's for sure.

Ah, my bad. Thanks, jennerz! Go Helio!!!!

I've LOVED this season but man I think that was the least interesting series of freeform dances that the series has EVER had Usually it's what I look forward to all season

This season's finale was NOT good. Mel let me down with her freestyle dance-- I was expecting so much from her considering her talent. I agree that they pulled a Stacy Keibler and figured her couple of lifts would 'wow' the crowd and lock in their win.

Marie should've left weeks ago (that third spot should've belonged to another star ( Sabrina, Cam, or Jenny). Personally I thought her freestyle was just more of the same stiff and limp movements she's been doing all season. I don't think her dances are all that entertaining either; perhaps because the media is ODing on Osmonds right now. Donny's on all entertainment shows critiquing the dancers-- except Marie. WTF does he know?!?!? He's not a professional dancer and he hasn't even been on the show. So, STFU, Donny! If Marie wins it's because of the Osmond media juggernaut they've launched since she debuted on DWTS. I think Donny and her are using this show to boost their careers. This show has really helped at least one star from eash season refresh their career. I just see Osmands everywhere for a long time-- which means I'll be tuning out as much as possible. She annoys the hell outta me! All her quips are like nails on a chalk board!

Rant over.

Helio came out strong with both his dances. Len was WAY too harsh on his jive. It wasn't that bad (Marie's dance had as much is not more technical probs, but they didn't bring that up, WTH). But his freestyle was MUCH better than anyone else's. I think Helio should win, because he's been the most consistent.

I still have yet to see a freestyle routine that could top Drew and Cheryl's season 2 show-stopping routine--that's my favorite dance of all time

Oops! Double-post. My bad

I think the judges need to be way more consistent. I think at times there are so many technical problems that they don't even want to go there, but I think they need to. No need to bring up every flaw, since that would take 20 mins, but it needs to be addressed every time, imo.

I was rooting for Marie after Jennie got kicked of, until that awful doll dance. I'm sorry, but there is just no excusing that. Generally, I go for someone zero dance experience, but I'm going to have to settle for Helio now. He deserves to win, imo.

Everyone ready for the finale, I'm gonna LMAO if Marie wins, she already has 600-700 votes already from her family alone. I wonder what len's reaction will be if she won? Also the scores yesterday from the judges were weird they hated on mel's dance, yet she got all 9's? They did the same to helio and I think he got an 8 and then 2 9's.

I really don't think Marie can win. I do think she might make the top two. Maybe not though because I'm a big fan and even I admit she doesn't deserve it.

Stranger things have happened. I acutally think she can win on popularity alone, not talent. The osmond media machine has been on overdrive for the past couple of weeks.

You know, I would have voted for Marie if it had been anywhere near close, but it just wasn't. I bet even some of her other supporters felt that way. I agree the Osmond's have a lot of fans, but I also think most people care about fairness. It's hard to vote for someone who does a truly bad job even when you like them a lot. At least for me.

Praise the Lord that Marie won't win.

I Like Marie but she shouldn't of made it this far. What do you want to bet that Donny will be on one of those Entertainment Shows tomorrow complaining about it. Blah.

OMFG Helio won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Dang will a woman ever win this competition again? I think it really hurt mel that helio was the only male left.

Glad Marie Osmond was 3rd place, but Helio & Julianne should NOT have won. Mel B. and Maksim were the best all throughout the competition and should've won. I'm through with this show. I also hate the pimping of Sabrina & Mark, who were way overrated. I cannot stand Sabrina's attitude.

Wooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

WTG, Helio!!!!!

I breathed a sigh of relief when Marie was eliminated...the Osmond machine was stopped, lol. At least the two who should have been left were.

But I am thrilled with the outcome. I've liked Helio & Julianne since Week 1.

The dialidol numbers were wrong on all accounts. Weird. Goes to show you that they mean [!@#$%^&*] outside of Idol because they usually are accurate there.

I was so happy Marie left because I was happy with either Mel or Helio. They both deserved it. Mel was the most consistent and Helio was the second most consistent and it just came down to last night. Maks did what he did last year and I think he knew it. He played it too safe and you can't just rely on dancing during the freestyle. You have to provide energy and drama and Helio had more of that. I wish a woman would win though but this does setup a possible Cheryl vs Julianne battle at some point as they both have two titles. I would love to see that.

Floyd's excuse for not dancing was lame. I can't stand him or Karina. Kym and Mark were a joy and Albert and Anna were so entertaining. Josie...eh, who cares. Jane and Tony were class as usual. Cameron has gotten so annoying I couldn't even enjoy what was his best dance. The whole taking off the shirt bit was funny. I love Drew Lachey. Can we please fire Samantha and bring Drew to DWTS? He's great and showed that early this season.

Jennie proved tonight why she should've been in the final. Marie getting there sucked and she was very subdued tonight. She clearly realized how she fucked up both in dancing and attitude last night, just like her brother did last week. Marie's last dance was nice but showed why she should've went home.

I knew the judges were going to give 30's on the last dances to Mel and Helio but they were actually deserved. Loved the prolonged Helio/Julianne kiss and Mel's pinching Tom's ass or kissing him never gets old.

Celine was nice and I loved the montage that was set to her new song. The show did a good job with the way they handled the usual filler reminiscing by adding in dances from the eliminated dancers in between all the montages. It worked great and saving the final two dances for the end worked well.

Nice seeing Apolo there and it was hard to believe I just noticed Adrian Bellani has been there every week for Helio.

The crowd clearly approved of Helio winning and Mel and Maks were class acts. Love them. Loved the milk bring brought out for Helio too. The celebration was nice but they need to allow more time from now on for the aftermath. They rush the end all the time. Hell, Marie got more time for her goodbye, which is nice but let's do that for everyone.

What I didn't like was all the Sabrina pimping. We get it. She left early. Let's move on. Nice seeing Cheryl and Wayne. Loved Jane and Tony's lift jab at Carrie Ann and I loved how Tom called out Josie on her pimping and she pointed down to Marie and says she does it too. Jennie was hilarious with Tom when being interviewed as well.

All in all tonight was ok. Last year's finale was still the best as it could've easily been Joey or Apolo. This one I knew going on based on the crowd and all. Last night kind of ruined everything, which is sad because this was the best, most dramatic, and most competitively balanced season and it ended in a lackluster way for what it was. Hopefully, spring will be better but congrats to both Mel and Helio. At least the best two were there at the end.
