Dancing With the Stars :: Season 5 Discussion

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Whoa! It's almost like the stars are trying to top each week ... because this week was phenomenal ...

Sabrina reaching perfection ... with a crowd-pleasing Paso Doble ...

The ladies are dominating this season ... none of the females received a score lower than 26 tonight ...

There were plenty of excellent dances tonight ...

I was impressed by Floyd ... He is no where near on the level of the greater dancers ... But he truly did put on a great performance ...

I honestly feel that it's time for Mark to go ... He's just not up to the high standards of the current crop of competitors ...

[DarthPrime]

I really had a feeling that Floyd was going to go this week, but I'm still surprised that Mark has lasted as long as he has...

Mel B in the bottom 2 was a shocker as well.

[dvdjunkie]

I cannot believe that Mark Cuban is still with us. Floyd's routine was far superior to Cuban's, and I think that Floyd's fan base let him down this week. Let's hope that the voters get it right next week and send Cuban to the showers.

I was completely shocked that Sabrina left the ballroom last week ...

I hope this week isn't a shocker ... and Jane leaves ...

She isn't up to the performance level of the other performers ...

I am so glad Marie is coming back!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Am I the only one watching it? LOL

I like Marie ... So I am glad that she is sticking around ... I hope she steps it up this week ... if not she is going to get some nasty comments from the judges that she isn't up to the standards of the other three ...

We are getting close to the end ... and I think Helio and Mel B. are going to be in the final two ... and I really want Mel B. to win ...

Her mambo and tango were fantastic ... I absolutely adored her mambo!

I was rooting for Jennie before ... but she has let me down ...

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

I guess I am the only one anticipating tonight's finale ...

Who would have thought all those weeks back that Marie ... Helio & Melanie would be in the final three?

I hope either Helio or Melanie wins ...

Marie is great to watch but she is no where near as (technically) talented as Helio and Melanie ...

Last night saw some of the lowest scores for a final round ... I am used to seeing perfect scores on finals night ... But not a single perfect score last night ... I guess that could change tonight ... when the final two do a dance showdown for a final scoring round ...

Marie's freestyle dance last night was so horrible. The only reason she made it this far is because of her fans and all the fellow Mormons voting for her.

Overall, I have been disappointed with this season. That's why I haven't commented on this thread that much. I stopped watching it every week, but I do plan on watching the last 10 minutes tonight. Even though I don't really care who wins.

Here's hoping season 6 is a bit more entertaining.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Aww ...

I've enjoyed this season ... I think everyone really stepped it up ... and it has been one of the highest scoring seasons ...

Marie usually entertains ... So I have enjoyed watching her ... Is she as good as Helio or Melanie? Hell no LOL ... Does she deserve to be in the final 3? Hell no LOL ...

I know she has a loyal fanbase ... and her Mormon church has cradled her to the top 3 ... but if she wins ... I will be so disappointed ...

She doesn't deserve anything higher than third place ...

Her dancing last night was not up to par with the other two ... and her "freestyle" was odd ... creepy ... and technically flawed ...

Albeit Melanie's freestyle wasn't as great as Helio's ... She still had a sharp routine that included lots of ballroom steps ...

Here's hoping that last night woke people up and really voted for the best dancer ... I just hope folks didn't feel sorry for Marie because the judges were frank with her ...

If Helio or Melanie win ... I am happy ...

[Anthony]

If Helio or Melanie win ... I am happy ...

Agreed.

I think if Marie wins, it would be the worst thing to ever happen to the show.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

I would totally agree ... and if she did ... she better have enough sense in her head to say ... I don't deserve this ... Here you go ... Helio/Melanie ... Whomever won second place ...

I've read on other boards that people are saying if Marie wins they will never watch the show again LOL ...

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Yay ... I'm happy now ... Marie earned her third place win ...

[Sharpay's poodle]

I didn't get into Dancing with the Stars until last season, and this season was amazing!

Congratulations to Helio!! Well deserved. His quickstep was absolutely amazing, as was his freestyle last night. Can't wait for next year!!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Fantastic finale ...

I was happy with either Mel or Helio winning ...

I absolutely loved loved loved Mel's mambo !!!!!!!

and Helio's quickstep was a favorite too ...

Great show!

I can't wait until March!

[Anthony]

YAY!! Helio won! And congrats to Julianne for back-to-back wins!

And the best news of the night (aside from Cameron finally taking off his shirt), Marie came in third!

[DarthPrime]

I thought Mel had won it. Pretty much everything I read online said she won it. So when they announced the winner I was shocked that it was Helio. I guess the rumors are not always true, and I'm really happy that Helio won.

This season was a bit off and on for me. I lost interest a few times, but kept getting pulled back into it. Still an enjoyable season overall.

Maybe I'm not a Osmond fan, but Marie really started to get annoying to me a few weeks ago and it never improved. Her "doll dance" last night was a disaster in my opinion, and it wasn't a shock that she was the first to go tonight.

[Sharpay's poodle]

^^ yeah the doll dance was pretty bad.. she tried to experiment with something new but it just came out odd. A little bit late to be taking chances, and it cost her. Is it coming back in March?

[Daisy Duck]

I guess Marie saved the worst for last, because that doll dance was embarrasingly bad. If Marie was so set on doing a "doll dance", I just wish her partner had choreographed more content into it--you know--like actual dancing steps.

Anyway, it was great to see Helio win. He was so enjoyable to watch all through the competition and has a great personality.
