I...Okay, I'm going to add a few more comments. I've loved Cheryl since the first season of DWTS. Last year, she got trashed because she had gained some weight. Even so, she was still great. <br /><br />Did Shawn deserve to win. If you judge only on the technical aspect of the dances, yes. She's a darling girl, but she's young, and was not able to show the emotion that goes along with the dances. That's a major part of these dances. <br /><br />Gilles and Melissa should have been in the top two, then Gilles should have won. Wink! Shame on you, Stacey. I'm hitting you with a wet noodle. Grin. Does it hurt?<br /><br />BTW, I love Lacey, too. She gets a lot of flak from the judges for her choreography because she does something too off the wall for them.<br /><br />I'm hooked on So You Think You Can Dance, too, Donna. I'm always for anyone who is struggling to reach their dream. I also watched American Idol. <br /><br />My final answer, Gilles should've won.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-87251039943060828432009-05-28T23:06:11.945-04:002009-05-28T23:06:11.945-04:00Stacey - YOU!

I missed the season with Drew, but I've seen a few of their routines on YouTube and they looked great.Carol Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957449133993571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-90722589489868378572009-05-28T20:56:30.190-04:002009-05-28T20:56:30.190-04:00Well, Carol, here's me. :) I love Cheryl from bac...Well, Carol, here's me. :) I love Cheryl from back when she won with Drew Lachey. She's awesome. And though I didn't vote all along, I kinda figured Gilles and Cheryl would really end up with Melissa and Tony as their major competition. I was very pleasantly suprised when Shawn and Mark not only hung in there, but they totally caught up. <br /><br />So, from not voting the whole season to voting 10 times for Shawn and Mark (loved Mark) in the finale, I think you can blame me for Gille's loss. Sorry (but not really). I'm pretty sure I heard them say that Shawn and Mark won by less than 1 percent of the audience vote. And since their judges scores were tied, well...yep, go ahead and blame me. I jumped up at the announcement, but I was cheering! <br /><br />Drew is still my favorite, btw.Stacey Joy Netzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908548379784017162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-79557778327786585332009-05-28T13:21:09.786-04:002009-05-28T13:21:09.786-04:00Donna - LOL, OK I absolve you from sabotaging Gill...Donna - LOL, OK I absolve you from sabotaging Gilles. But I do think a lot of people don't like Cheryl - hey, she can't help it if she's gorgeous and sexy! I agree with you about Maksim and wish he could've been around longer, but again, I think so many people don't like Denise Richards (regardless of her dancing), Maks didn't have a chance. Maybe that's a good reason to watch next season - hoping Maks gets a good partner...Carol Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957449133993571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-32170037559865874522009-05-28T12:48:10.286-04:002009-05-28T12:48:10.286-04:00I didn't vote at all, Carol, I only watch, so ...I didn't vote at all, Carol, I only watch, so Gilles didn't lose because of me (just want to set the record straight *G*). I wasn't punishing anyone, I always think the best dancer should win. But the best is a matter of opinion, obviously, since the public voted and Gilles didn't win. I was actually surprised he didn't win since the show is watched mostly by women. Figured he'd win by a landslide. *g* And I would've been just as happy for him had he won, I think they were both amazing. *shrug*<br /><br />I guess I didn't see Shawn the way you did, I thought she was adorable & phenomenal, never silly-looking. Melissa was amazing as well...I think the top three were all pretty equal. And I agree, Cheryl is a great choreographer & dancer, no question; most of the pros are. Mark Ballas, Julianne Hough, and her brother are the best three, IMO Well, besides the incredibly sexy Maksim...sigh...LOL Oh, and Lacey, who I watched on So You Think You Can Dance? I keep hoping her brother Benji will join DWTS as a pro. :-)Donna Marie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642269808104367931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-82671037321797649022009-05-28T11:59:25.411-04:002009-05-28T11:59:25.411-04:00Caroline, I didn't watch the season with Mario Lop...Caroline, I didn't watch the season with Mario Lopez, but I heard he should've won (just like Gilles should've won).<br /><br />Nicole, yes, their Argentine tango was hot, but even his less sensual dances like the lindy hop and jive were good, so it wasn't just about his sex appeal, although that helped a whole lot.Carol Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957449133993571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-40861175443744430292009-05-28T11:39:01.703-04:002009-05-28T11:39:01.703-04:00That's a great addiction to have, Carol!

He was the best IMHO. I LOVED watching them do the <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHNwKUcuffw" REL="nofollow">Argentine Tango</A>.

No, really, those two were so steamy together.<br /><br />Donna, I'm afraid your comment is why Gilles may have lost - his partner. I hadn't really watched the other seasons, so I wasn't aware that Cheryl had already won a few times - but she's a great choreographer and dancing, and really, you shouldn't punish the celebrity by voting against his partner. And while Shawn was cute - she just looked silly doing the romantic/sensual dances - like she was dressed up as mom and play-acting (you see, don't get me started).Carol Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957449133993571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-9018664352195414942009-05-28T09:17:12.402-04:002009-05-28T09:17:12.402-04:00Well, I'm one of those who's been watching DWTS si...Well, I'm one of those who's been watching DWTS since day one and I just love it. But for me, the professional Maksim Chmerkovskiy is the reason I'm such a faithful viewer. *G* I was so disappointed when I discovered Denise Richards would be his partner.<br /><br />I thought Gilles was amazing, too, but I was fine with Shawn winning, she was a fantastic little dancer who really improved so much over the season. Gilles started strong and finished strong, so he wasn't as much of a 'wow' for me...well, I mean, other than the obvious. ;-) And I hate to say it, but I didn't want to see Cheryl Burke take it again.<br /><br />Watching Steve-O really try was heartwarming. He wanted so much to be a good dancer. :-) I watched his bio, and it's incredible that he managed to get himself sober. I hope he's able to maintain his sobriety.Donna Marie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642269808104367931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-91074915713744334562009-05-28T07:56:38.663-04:002009-05-28T07:56:38.663-04:00Thanks for the clips.

His wife was in the audience every time. <br /><br />Carol, I've watched Dancing With the Stars from the beginning. Mainly, because I like dancing. Usually, there is one contestant who stands out. Some of the professional dancers (male) are wonderful and sexy, too. <br /><br />I've loved Cheryl Burke since the very beginning. She's a fantastic dancer and choreographer.<br /><br />Another addict.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-16947551927615599532009-05-28T07:14:47.949-04:002009-05-28T07:14:47.949-04:00I never got caught up in DWTS.
