DwtS Results (Winner)

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!

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.

Oh, I agree they wanted him to win for all the reasons you claimed.

Also, I don't think Helio is that cute at all, and I got this vibe from some of their vids, that they didn't quite get along that well.

Maks SUCKS come finale night. Seriously, twice in a row he came up with crap. Now admittedly this freestyle wasn't as bad as last year's, but still, crap, Maks, crap!!!!! And he really turned a lot of people off with his comments last week. Maks, Maks, you may be hot as heck, but babe, you gotta think sometimes.

Yup, I think that's exactly what happened.

Ah, I didn't see the raw numbers. Someone just posted the overall results on ONTD (I didn't care enough to check myself). Well, I'm happy for Julianne, but I wasn't a Helio fan, still good for her. And I got to at least see Apolo! Yay! He's so cute.

Yes, I liked the little dig at Len for saying "this is the best season ever" from Drew and Apolo but I would have loved to see a retrospective of Apolo and Drew's best dances. Since they were there and all.

You know you can call it whatever you want - Karma, God, what goes around, comes around - but in the end if you act like an ass, you are seldom rewarded. I was so happy Maks seemed to be taking the high road this season but alas, his restraint broke down at the last minute. Oh well - he only said what everyone in the world (except a few deluded Osmonds) were thinking.
