Not so warm with that Cha-Cha give-a-way to Disney. That was just wrong of ABC.

Only clueless Brooke could screw-up a coin toss. And they Pay Her????????

My first thought was that they instituted that 15 points from the judges because of the Bristol Palin fiasco last year.

Re the 15 points thing: (which seems to be their version of the American Idol 'Judges Save')
I don't like it. If they want the fans to vote for their favorite, let them vote, combine it with the judges score, and let the chips fall where they may. That was the whole point. If they're going to skew the results by handing out free points, what is the point of voting?

I just hope Kirstie doesnt win!!!

Annie53 · 05-18-2011, 08:24 AM

As much as I love Kirstie, she does not deserve to win.

Actually, I think Chelsea is the best dancer and should win, but I think Hines will win it because of all the football fan votes.

I'm just so disappointed with this season so far! I hated to see Ralph Maccio go and Romeo and many many others so early in the game! The point confusion a few weeks ago with Romeo

, then coin toss screw up

, makes me wonder if they are even counting the votes properly from the public.

. From here on out I will just hope the best wins (and that shouldn't include Kirstie!!). I think she is sweet, however, for pete's sake she's fallen, lost shoes, admitted to "forgetting" to move her feet while a dancing in one of the interviews....I mean the whole show is about moving your feet and DANCING!

Sadly, I fell asleep during the coin toss fiasco and the extra 15 point deal, so I can't voice an opinion on what happened. However, I do agree with what RanchoNan said. Use the judges' scores and the voter totals and to heck with any extra stuff.

(To all those giving me rep points, thank you, thank you. I've tried to rep you all back but it won't let me until I've spread it around more. As you can tell, I don't post very often.)

Really you didn't miss a thing. It was just obvious as to "why" this was even being done. No drama here, not on the show - except a snicker @ clueless Brooke and her ability to broker a coin toss. Two whole possible out comes, she tried to insert a joke and was unable to assocate the winner of said toss with the result.

Luck was on your side here as sleep would have been the better option.

Well, I did tape the show, just need the time to look at it and, after reading the comments, watching it is a must

.

...off to spread some rep points around..... Thanks s/61

I figured it would be Ralph last night but I'm still disappointed it wasn't Kirstie. I think Ralph is a better dancer than she. Oh well, don't vote so can't complain.

TY about Jerry Rice coming in 2nd. That was nice seeing some of the winning free-styles. Wish they had shown Gils Morini (or whatever his name is). I didn't watch that season but saw him on Brothers and Sisters do a little dance and he was hot.

I hope next year is as good as this one was. Equal dancing abilities or lackthereof. Made it a most enjoyable season to watch. Except for Brooke of course.

While Stevie Nix was singing, I thought she might make a good contestant.?

Correct about Ralph being better than Kirstie.

I do know that Stevie used to spend some time working on Ballet so she should have the mind set available to excell at a competition such as DWTS. Ms Nicks will be 63 next thursday....
