DwtS Results (Winner)

[arabian]

Saving commentary behind the cut as to not spoil ....

Wow, I was not expecting that. DialIdol had Mel/Maks well in the lead. I'm half-happy, half-disappointed. Mel was by far the better dancer, and I liked that Julianne was a winner with Apolo. On the other hand, Maks has just been an ass in the press lately, and I love Julianne so I love that she's now a two-times-in-a-row winner too.

Eh. Lame season overall, but yay Julianne. But boy you could tell the judges' were not happy with the results.

Sorry, Gerrie!

You think? The judges certainly didn't seem happy at the finals, but they always seemed very effusive with Helio (part of the reason he won, IMHO).

I called a Helio win when he danced second, and consistently got the pimp spot, like...weekly. If Apolo's win was a team effort, this one was all Julianne. I think she had a lot less to work with this time around, and still pulled off a victory. :p

The first shot we got of them after the win, man, those smiles couldn't be more fake. Seriously.

Oh yeah, this was alllllllll Julianne. She spent so much of their routines, dancing around him, doing everything she could think of to cover his weaknesses, and it worked. And, you know, that's what the pro is supposed to do. If they can't learn the steps, mask it.

Ahh, I wasn't looking at the judges' faces after the winners were announced (I was actually wondering if Apolo was going to hand over the trophy, like Kelly did for Drew and Cheryl in S2. And then when Helio ran over to get hugs from his family, I wondered if Julianne would find Apolo. But, no. :x )

And, you know, that's what the pro is supposed to do. If they can't learn the steps, mask it.

True -- she was a great strategist. :)

Yeah, I kept hoping we would see Apolo out there at some point with Julianne, but it looked like only this year's dancers were on the floor, judges still when the celebration ended. Ah well.
