And the "Dancing With the Stars" Winner Is...

31. The show is dancing with the dtars, not "dancing with other dancers", and on that premise, Helio deserved to win. To come as far as he did skill wise, and talent wise for someone who was never a dancer...he ruled! He was nearly as good as mel b and sabrina, but he was filled with the charm and charisma they lacked.
Still surprised by Sabrina's early departure though, but that's what happens when people vote...they go by who they like rather than who was the best dancer.
Maries fan base kept her on long after she should have gone home.(I wonder how many Utah votes there were? Her family is big and rich, maybe......hmmm). Same with Cameron, he should have gone home long before he did too.
Glad I'm not the only one sick of Donny, especially how he downed the other dancers(especially Helio). I have the feeling that he will try to be on next years show, so he can faint, cry, and other theatrics that media whores do so well.

Congrats Helio!!
Wouldn't mind finding him under my christmas tree!!

32. All I can say is wooooooooohooooooooooo the best prevailed, wtg Helio. Don't worry about all the negative comments. Jealous ppl have that habit. Oh well, their loss. You won that competition the first night you stepped on stage. You showed your face and personality. Too bad some ppl know NOTHING about you and say such garbage. Got news for ya, Helio is a WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING, and men sorry you can't look like him. But your jealously is out of control.

34. I think something funny was going on with the abc telephone lines and the abc.com voting site. I tried voting from Mel and Maks on my cell phone and home phone and whenever I dial for them if I did not get a busy signal, I would get a message on my cell phone that the service was not accepting the call when I tried on my hone phone, I was informed that the voting was over and the time that I made the calls (I did it a number of times) was a little after 9 p.m. I then went to my computer to vote. I even had problems voting for Mel and Maks there. The computer would accept the first vote but when I would vote for for Mel and Maks a second time, I would get a message: Could not connect. Therefore I would have to go out and sign in again to put in my vote each time that I voted. Something very strange was going on with the voting process at abc Monday night. Looks very suspicious to me. I think the FCC need to look into this.

35. I am so amazed at people that watched this program. They don't know the first thing about dancing and the techniques of the dance. Helio and Jullianne deserved to win that tropny because they were the best. If you people that think you are a c ritic on dancing well I have a flash for you, you are not. Yes, Max and his partner were very good but they sure as heck didn't have what it took to take the entire thing . Too bad. Finallly this Dancing with the Stars worked out the way it should have. The past three years it did not.
That is all I have to say . THE RIGHT COUPLE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

36. I'm so glad Marie didn't win, she had the "sympathy" votes going on and it was SCAREY. Mel and Max were good but he didn't choreograph enough "outstanding" stuff that she was capable of (playing it safe). I'm glad Julianne and Helio won as she really pushed him and gave some seriously "knock out", "jump out of your seat" performances. But I have to say though, the true winners were voted out long ago, the cheetah girl (I cannot remember her name) and the dark haired guy. Now that was some tight and talented dancing right there, and yes I did vote for them.

37. I loved Julianne and Helios, but am disappointed Mel B did not win. She was by far the best dancer. Maybe it was the fact that she is musical and a performer in "real" life. Helios is, after all, a race car driver and did an amazing job of learning the intricate steps that Julianne always puts in her routines. What ever the case, thank you Dancing with the Stars for a wonderful season....sad to see it end.

38. I can't believe how rude some of you people are on here. The reason Marie stayed as long as she did is because the people liked her. She is a regular person..a Mom..can't dance. She said that many times..she stands for all the Moms out there. Mel B. dances with the Spice girls. It should be about the people who can't dance and come out and get better each week. I have to say the Doll dance was a mess..but that was Johnathans fault..what was he thinking? If they were going to keep a dancer around in this compitition..then Sabrina should have stayed and won!!! That girl came out and rocked the place out!!! The very first show too! As she did last night! Awesome! Anyway..Marie is not fake..she is a sweet person..down to earth..good people.
Shame on some of you for being so rude!

39. Hooray for Helio and Julianne! Sorry for Mel and Max, they were just as good! Oh, believe me, we know Marie is old. She only told us a thousand times in the last 10 weeks. We also had to deal with her sympathy grabs. My Daddy died, I fainted, my poor son is a druggie, my husband left me, I got eight kids at home, I am out of shape. How dare Larry King mentioning that the Osmonds are imperfect (like the rest of us.) And that Donny using her participation on the show to put a fire under his and the Osmondsuk shrinking careers on ET. Opportunistic losers is all they are.

Where is her part of the responsibility for all this stuff. Maybe if she spent more time with her family and at the gym instead of shamlessly promoting her stupid looking dolls, the Osmonds, and an image of her and her "perfect" family that blames everyone else for their faults and misfortunes she would come off as more like the rest of us and thus a little bit likeable. I have no doubt that many will say I am being mean but that's because they prefer fluff to content.

Speaking of ET, did you good Christians know that when she dies she expects to go to a planet! Mormans, what a group of dead heads that group is.

41. Marie's last dance was disturbing...she is not 20.

42. Shame on you OSMUNDSUK...That was uncalled for! The Osmond family has problems like the rest of us and I don't doubt yours does too. I don't see you doing anything anyone knows about. Stop being so mean-spirited and get over yourself!

44. It's SO sad that Marie didn't win... NOT!!!! Third place was far more than she deserved. Now that everyone has seen what a real whack job she is, I doubt she'll ever find a new man. Maybe her Botox doctor will give her a tumble 'cause after all, she is one of the biggest and greatest doll maker's in the world!!!

45. Dancing With The Stars is a joke. The best dancer hasn't won since Drew Lachey. ABC rigged the show. The View announced yesterday that Helio would be on today. Coincidence? I don't think so.

PS- Katie, call me.
