Dancing With The Stars 5

[Melanie]

Yay Helio!

I must admit I was pulling for Mel B and Maks (he's just so nice to look at ) but I am happy for Helio and Julianne. They are on Good Morning America this morning and they are cracking me up. I was glad to see Marie in 3rd place. Overall, a good finish to the season.

What a bad finale.

Boy, that was the worst finale ever. Huge disappointment. No one has ever gotten 7s and 8s in the finale! I've said all along to my family that Marie just didn't belong there. There have been several "older" women the past few years, and they all knew when it was time to go. She's just was not in the same league as the others.

Now, all that being said . . . like others have said I was happy to see either Mel or Helio win. Mel had the footwork down perfectly, but Helio's charisma lit up the room - and Julianne is spectacular to watch! In the end, they were definitely the 2 Stars that belonged in the finale.

I just love that show! No one is evil, back-stabbing, manipulative or two-faced. Just great entertainment.

No matter who of Mel & Helio had one I would have been happy but I really thought Mel had it. However I was very pleased with it. Great show and the teasing & clips were great amongst everyone.

Boy, I was getting worried that I was going to have to stop watching DWTS, but now, all is right with the world again!!

I really thought Mel should have won. She had higher scores all along and even though Helio was very good and had some good scores, I think Mel outdanced him. But congratulations to him!

I really enjoyed seeing Jane dance again and still think she should have made it longer than Marie. There was a lot of drama surrounding Marie but I didn't think she could dance as well as even Jane. I was disappointed to see Jane go when she did. They all must have been practicing all this time because all of the previous dancers did very well in their last dances, much better than they did to begin with.

Yea, Helio!!!!!

I am so glad Marie did not win. Her dancing in the finale were horrendous. If I had to hear her mention her age one more time I think I would have screamed. From listening to her, one would think she was 70 instead of in her 40's.

I knew that no matter which of the 2 won, Helio or Mel, I would be very happy for the winner and feel bad for the other. They both were very deserving but I do think Helio came the furthest.

I don't know what I am going to do now that I don't get to see Maksim every week.

I am so glad that I had over estimated Marie's fan base, it would have been very wrong if she would have won. I guess I was having flash backs to the first season when that soap star girl won with only about 2 decent dances the whole season.
Hooray for Helio! And a very, very well done for Mel B.

Although she seems to be a very nice person, I have to agree that I don't know how Marie went as far as she did on the show. She really has not been in the mainstream public eye for a couple of decades. That said, I still breathed a sigh of relief when they announced she had come in third.

While I was happy with either Mel or Helio winning, I favored Helio and Julianne a little. Now that the contest is over I have to say that I was not overly impressed with Mel's reaction to losing. Perhaps her comment that she felt horrible that she lost (which I'm sure is true) was taken out of context, but it was far from gracious.

This morning on Good Morning America, while Helio & Julianne were in NY, Mel B and Mack were in LA. They did a split screen interview of both couples. Mel B joked "there was a recount .. and we won !"

Boo hoo to her .
