Helio Castroneves!

Edging out favorite Mel B, race-car driver Helio Castroneves took home the disco ball trophy. Do women ever win this contest anymore?!

He and partner Julianne Hough came into the finals in second place, just one point behind the Spice Girl and his hotness Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Both couples received perfect scores of 30 from the judges in their final dance Tuesday.

As expected, Marie Osmond was eliminated first after her robot doll-inspired routine. QVC called, they'd like you back, Miss Osmond.

Looks like Hough is the lucky charm, having also won last year with speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno.

32. The post repeating Mel was robbed over and over is nothing short of ridiculous. Mel was NOT robbed! As good as she was, Helio was BETTER! At any rate, it was Sabrina who was robbed, by the asinine fans who voted her off in favor of Marie Osmond, who is a mediocre dancer. Sabrina is the one who should have been in the finals with Helio and Mel B. It was also QUITE obvious tonight that Josie and Albert were BOTH better dancers in just their short time dancing than Marie was after ten weeks! And if you want to get nitpicky, Jenny should not have been eliminated when she was...again, it should have been Marie. I like Marie, but a dancer she is NOT!

34. While I liked Mel B and her partner, Helio Castroneves and his partner were the best this season on Dancing With The Stars! He was superb from the very first week back in September. ESPN will be going nuts about him tomorrow on their sports shows and Sportscenter! He has such dynamic, sharp dancing. I know his racing team, Team Penske , is partying like crazy tonight after his win! And lastly, Sabrina Bryan and her partner should have been in the top 3 instead of Marie Osmond and her partner. Just my opinion.

35. Who cares? Did anyone else see Cameron Mathison take his shirt off? I wanna see a video of the rap-party. Get on it, TMZ!

36. I am happy Helio won. He isn't a performer like Marie and Mel and yet he was awesome from day one.

I don't think performers who dance should be allowed in this competition. Then again, the right person seems to have won each time except maybe the football player guy between Drew and Apollo,

Congrats to Helio :)

37. To #13 Janelle
Oh, my goodness girl. Maybe there's a reason why you represent #13! Didn't that hurt your fingers? Oh, yes, have you had any dance lessons? Any physical activity at all? Also, it's a TV show, not reality. Not trying to talk badly about but your post but it was silly.
