Well I think the PTB wanted Helio to win. If they didn't they wouldn't have overpraised him so much. I think their initial plan this season was for Sabrina to win (she's Disney/ABC and a female) but when she got the boot I think they looked at the totals and decided on Helio.
I think that the PTB do NOT like Maks and adore Julianne. I think more women voted for Helio because they think he's cute (I just do not get it) and I think they decided to cater to the masses.
I'm just happy Mel at least got to second. And you could tell that she and Maks developed a deep, warm friendship. I do blame Maks for that lameass freestyle. You have to pander in this segment. Have to. So in a way it was his fault and Len practically crowned Helio on the finale night by saying he had both technique and showmanship. I think, in the end, people hated Marie, liked Helio and didn't like Mel's freestyle so they went with Helio. I read it all over the net yesterday.
Dial Idol had Helio ahead in raw numbers so I was expecting him to win.
In the end, it's just a reality show so I hope Mel has a kickass Spice girls tour and I'm thrilled I got to share her journey on this.
