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.

46. totell...

yes I am a hot woman 5'5"36,25,35. blond & blue. I have another question for people out there. Helio is a winning F-1 driver who is coming to NASCAR next season. Does anyone race or know about racing?

47. Sorry. The real winner is his partner....she carried him to the win. He'd just stand there and she'd dance around him.

51. Mel should have won. Helio may have had personality, but it was Julianne that got the votes on dancing. If you could take your eyes off how electric she was, you would have noticed that Helio was not as good as everyone thought.
Last night was disappointing. But I guess Sabrina felt that way too. She was awesome last night.
Stop bashing the Osmonds!!!

52. Helio deserved the win! He had no dancing experience whatsoever. His career is Indy racing! Mel B is a Spice Girl and has showman experience. I think the voting public got this right! It is about the unexpected moving forward and improving week after week. It doesn't matter if it's a male or female. This could have been Danaka Patrick but it wasn't. BUT, if it were a female athlete who competed and not a "celebrity who had dancing experience" and did as well as Helio, well then she would have won I'm sure. The real votes that count are from those of us who don't vote because of who we like but how we see the dancing. YES, Mel B is a great dancer but she should be - it's part of her bread & butter! And honestly though, this was the BEST YEAR ever! The voters got it right and Helio and Julianne are most deserving of that gaudy trophy!

56. I was rooting for Elio because I believe he was the most improved dancer on the show. Mel B. was definitely a better dancer, but Elio added something to his performances that she simply did not have.--- and that was pure enthusiasm and joy!

57. Congatulations he really tried as hard as the rest of them but, I am glad he won. Place your trophy in your cabinet it was well earned. They all were good, but ,like every game there has to be one winner.

60. So glad Marie didn't win. I lost all respect for her when she didn't drop out after all her family issues.
