Dancing With the Stars 2007 Results

Earlier this year I wrote about how Dancing With the Stars was missing actual... stars. And I still stand behind that statement.

I haven't been watching the show regularly. I'd tune in every once in a while, but for the most part, it didn't hold my interest. But I did watch the last couple episodes.

And I'm glad Apollo Ohno won.

Maybe they should change the show to Dancing with the Sport Stars.

I thought the little skit about how votes were tabulated was funny. I didn't realize that the Count from Sesame street was actually the tabulator of the votes prior to that skit. Does he have to work a second job to make ends meet? What else could explain the reason for such a blatant screwup.Albert gone and Wayne still there? Have mercy.

i did happen upon that skit. (Good thing ABC has a late night talk show!) I enjoy Jimmy, and got a chuckle out of seeing the Count.

I have no idea who Albert is, but since the show ran over time, I did see Wayne not lose, which was surprising. (I had to make sure my girl Jenny didn't get voted off the stage.)

I agree with Phyllis. Albert gone while Wayne and Floyd are still there.
They have no rhythm, just a lot of fans I guess.

Surprised Mr. Las Vegas lasted this long. Lordy he looked like a stiff board during every routine.
and Marie Osmond is a litttle chubby to swinging her torso around like that. Do like “Dr.Quinn Medicine Woman” She can really dance

I have often questioned winner results on the show “Dancing With The Stars” before. But tonight’s loss of Sabrina Bryan was the the utmost unmitegated form of bull shit I have ever seen. I will never watch that crooked show again!!

I know what you mean. I really wanted to see Osmond go, but would have put up with Jane going. But Sabrina? She was actually quite good. More deserving to be on the show than Marie. And I just tune in to see how my girl Jennie is doing - and to make sure she’s safe!

I think Sabrina is gone because Jane and Marie were complaining and making the audience sympathize with them because they are older - but Sabrina is a great dancer and will be a great dancer even when she turns 50. Now I actually dislike Jane and Marie on the show and I hope they are gone soon.

Way to go ladies - now you are there but are you feeling great that you bumped Sabrina out?

Marie Osmond - the weakest link.
Bye, Bye Marie.

I agreed with Justin and I think something is wrong with this show - to have Marie on the show was fun but to have her in the semi-finals is horrible. She is week and has improved little since the beginning. I understand she is an old timer entertainer but people should be fair - she is not good and she should not be in the finals.

I am so sick and tired of all the terriable comments about Marie! Her religion has NOTHING to do with her preformance! It is about ‘classic ballroom” people, not skimpy costumes and moves on the dance floor that belong in a ’strip club’!! Marie has ‘Class’ something apparently some of the audience is not use to! Look at Fred Astaire movies, Ginger Rogers.

Linda, I agree that dancing is not about skimpy costumes but I am a dancer and Marie is simply not good. She has not improved much and her partner will continue to use simple dance steps so Marie can dance. All other stars left in the competition have actually improved and are technically superior. I am not sure what religion has to do with dancing and I don’t know who would even comment on her religion but she is not as good as the other dancer left in the competition and if people were to be fair she should be the one leaving next week.

I strongly disagree. I don’t see any ‘improvements’ with any of the other stars. When I commented on ‘Class’ on the dance floor, that’s what I meant. Marie is still on because she has ‘Class’ and talent. Marie has the ability to preform with dignity and poise with out being ‘trashy’ and that does not mean she is not ‘improving’. She does not deserve redicule.

As much as I have totally enjoyed Marie, Jenny and Cameron, my past experience as a professional dancer definately places the finalists as Mel B and Helio. There are people who show class and improvement, and those who are naturals. Just watching body movements alone gives my vote to either of the two I mentioned above.

Debbie I completely agree with you. I am also a dancer and I know Marie’s lines are weak, she is charming and beautiful but she is not a dancer. Mel has danced in the past so it might be easier for her but Helio was not a dancer but he has great technique and has “class” lines like Linda has referred in her comments. No question Marie has class and has what it takes to be an entertainer but she does not have the technique and the body movement of the other finalists.

Totally agree with you Vania. Even to move to Cameron–he has vastly improved but I get a feeling of stiffness in his arms. He is trying so hard to work on his lines that it came across as stiff. As good as he was, he has a way to go to truly feel the dancing in his heart. Jenny is also trying hard and is a joy to watch, but you can see glimpses of the fact that she is not truly comfortable or confident in all of her moves. I did love her foxtrot and felt the judges were too hard on her for that dance.

I think the little Julianne is remarkable with what she has done for her partner, he is terrific and I wish them the very best. Marie not. Sympathy vote. The spice gir not. She was ready to cry last night fearing her name was going to be called to go. Tough luck girly go go.

Bettylu I agree with you and I think Helio is great but Mel is also very good. The difference is that Julianne’s routine is far supperior and requires more technique and Mel’s partner (forgot his name) does simple routines that just ooks good. The Judges sees that and they have voted accordingly.

Bryann you must be one of her family members. I love her too, but she is a joke dancing. She is wonderful and I truly respect her but staying up to this point is terrible. She was awful yesterday. I feel sorry for her, so bad in the dancing floor - I am not sure I would subject myself to this ridicule.

Marie is a kick when it comes to personality and showmanship, but the dances she put together for the finals were awful.

I totally agree. Hooray!!! They picked the right couple to win. Marie was horrendous especially with her little doll dance, if you can call it that, she thought she did great but people voted for her for who she was apparantly and not for her dancing capabilities.

Marie did such a terrible job that not even her fans could keep her any longer. The worth part is that she thinks she can dance - but she is beautiful and it was a joy having her in the show (she just needed to leave a little earlier, much earlier). As to Helio, I just loved it!
