«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 765 of 765Kelly would have to do very badly on this next dance in order for Donny to not be in the bottom position with the judge's scores.
And I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm voting for Donny too, tonight.
Here it is.
I hit enter to soon. Triple 9's for Joanna.
I'm sending Donny and Joanna my votes.
I am surprised they received 9s instead of 10s.
Wonder how many votes are made for Derek instead of Joanna.
Kelly's dance didn't do anything for me.... except for the song. I remember that my daughter loved it.
Now I didn't like Kelly's dance but they did.
Becky we agree on Kelly's dance. Girls just wanna have fun was my era. I saw Cyndi Lauper perform it live.
Think 8's would have been fairer.
I think the judges know who they want in the finals weeks before they get there. I bet it is Kelly, Joanna and Mya in the finals.
I so agree joy. They are going to make the fans work to keep Donny in this.
In overall scores for the season so far, J&D have 350. D&K have 336. K&L have 323. Mya has 338 without this last dance added on yet.
I think the judges want Mya to win. She just doesn't do it for me. 9-10-10
The 9 was more like it. IMO
That gives Mya and Dmitry 367.
I agree, Monty.
Bring on the Bee Gees! I can't wait to see them tomorrow night.
Nite ladies.
I can't get throught on Donny's line.
I got right through on Joanna's.
Can't wait to see the BeeGee's too. I believe it's their first time singing without Maurice.
G'nite everyone.
They'd better clear up Donny's line or something stinks in Denmark!
Maybe it means everyone is voting for Donny. I just had one go through.
Night all. Don't know if I'll make it tomorrow night. I'll try to stop by.
I love Donny too, but I don't know. The bottom is certainly between him and Kelly. I adore Kelly, but she isn't the better dancer. I don't think it makes any difference which one of the two gets in the final, Joanna and Mya will be the pair to beat. Only the fans can put Donny or Kelly in as the winner.
Sex dripping isn't really my cup of tea, but it's what most of these dances they have to do is all about. Mya and Joanna do them better.
Really some beautiful waltzes tonight. I really like that kind of dance...so graceful and they all did them well. Well Donny messed up...one thing you're taught in theatre..don't ever look at someone in the audience, you'll mess up every time. He spotted Marie and lost his steps and Kim got her feet caught in her dress and ... need I go on!
Definitely wasn't Donny's night.
Crossing fingers for Kelly and Donny!
Hey, anyone here? Aside from me that is....
First safe couple... after the commercial.... I thought they were going to tell the first couple who will be in the finals.

Hey, Monty, just you and me I think.
I don't like what ever Mya has down her part in her hair. Looks like a glittering worm.
I don't want an all female final at Donny's expense. The online predictions have Joanna going home tonight, but I still think it will be Kelly or Donny. :(
Hey Becky!
Hey ladies. That "Be Italian" number was a bit risque, just a bit.
I think it will be Kelly or Donnie too. Hope it is Kelly.
I think it will between Mya and Joanna. I am going to vote for Mya so a new pro can win.
I wish they would get on with it!
Hey, Joy. I agree about the number that was just done.
What a pretty girl Alicia Keyes is.
Well. that was cute!
Now that was a cute number! Mya is safe.... surprise, surprise.
I don't like how they are dragging this out.
I knew Mya would be safe. That stinks that Joanna and Derek have to wait.
Yes, the BeeGees!
I liked the little Under Pressure clip too. I think Mya is a little over confident at this point. I just don't want to see her win. No offense to the D-Mya fans out there. :)
I don't like everything Leona Lewis sings, but her range amazes me.
Again, I'm not a Mya fan either. I think she played it safe way too often and her dancing isn't exciting to me.
YES!!!!!!
Yay, DONNY!!!
YES!!!!!!
I'm SO glad Donny made it! Just hope it's not at Joanna's expense.
The only reason I want her to win is because it would mean another pro placed first.
Kym and Donnie are on the top of my list to win. Donnie is an entertainer and Kym was stuck with bozo's several years running.

Jerry Springer, yikes!
Love the BG's and still love Melissa!
Love, love, love the BeeGees! Timeless!
I bought BeeGee albums in my twenties and still treasure them.
I meant my first BG albums.
Man, are they dragging this out.
They are lucky I can't reach through the TV. I would be biotch slapping someone!
I was graduating high school during the height of the Saturday Night Fever, disco era and it never gets old for me.
Whoa.... Kelly and Donny both made the finals. Yes!!!
Kelly must have a huge fan base. This really sucks!
This is sad. I actually like Joanna much better than Mya. And this was a very beautiful dance last night.
I can't believe it!!!! Kelly should not have stayed over Derek and Joanna.
Well, Mya will win the trophy.
Who posted that she went home? You were right.
This is a beautiful dance.
I was 20 in 1967 when their first album came out. And I especially love my Saturday Night Fever music. One of my all-time favorites.
Mya will definitely win this. Very anticlimatic season end.
Catch you young 'uns later. I am now feeling very old.
I think it did come down to the fan base for this vote. Joanna was an unknown at the beginning of the season for many people. She herself called herself an underdog. Having said that, I'm still a little shocked, but happy for Donny because the online folks had him in the bottom two with Joanna.
Well here's to the finale next week. I always love the freestyle dances. See you all later this week for Survivor. Nite!
Yes, I'm glad at least Donny made it to final three.
Seeing how gray Barry Gibbs is, is making me feel pretty old myself.
G'nite.
Unfortunately I missed last night's show and my VCR (yes I am behind the times haha) malfunctioned :( It appears I missed some fabulous dances. The judges did Derek and Joanna in. They knew that her fan base could not compare to Kelly's nor Donny, who probably has the biggest of all (and rightfully so). And Mya's scores were just too much higher than Joanna's. When I did see her waltz tonight it gave me chills. That is what ballroom dance is really all about.
If I do watch the finals it will be for the entertainment value of Donny. Mya is very proficient, but uninspiring, and Kelly is an example of our blind obsession with celebrity; what is she famous for? Although I must say her handlers have done a superb job. She's not a bad dancer; she just doesn't compare to Joanna. Their freestyle would have been amazing. Oh well, such is life. Her appearance in Playboy probably didn't help. Although it may seem questionable, they do still wear some clothing on the show, Edyta notwithstanding.
ML
Do we have our little dance book? Are you ready to boogie?
Anyone here? Kelly was good. But she does nothing for me.
I watched The Osbournes reality show...so I like Kelly. Still have no clue who Mya is and just have not looked her up. Donnie may take it with a larger fan-base.
Who knows...lokking forward to the free-style dances.
Hey, Delee. Glad I am not talking to myself tonight. Strange song for the Paso.
What is neat is that a new pro will win this year.
Derek is wonderful, but he has won, what, three times?
I think the judges want Mya to win. Who is she anyway?
I loved Donny's fox trot. I didn't think it was too show boaty or what ever old prune face said.
Does Kym have a drop dead figure or what?
His ChaChaCha was very good.
Wonder why they didn't mention Kelly's looking down at her feet several times during her Tango?
Carrie Ann has been all over the place saying that Kelly is the one to watch.
Kym works out alot we sit around alot...HAHA!!!
Sorry in and out here...
Guess this answers our ?
Mýa Marie Harrison (born October 10, 1979), professionally known mononymously as Mýa, is an American R&B singer-songwriter, record producer, actress, tap-dancer, model.
Watching the three together shows Kelly to be the least capable IMO. She has the least grace, I don't care what CA says.
They got the scores right, at least.
Well, bet they put Mya up as # 1 with Kelly and then Donnie following.
Yeah, Deelee. Too bad we can't wish for a figure like Kym and have it be so.
Well, missed the placement for 2 and 3.
I am still throwing my votes to Donnie. I like his attitude.
I agree that Kelly has the least grace, but I figured CA would push her ahead of Donnie.
BTW, hey, Joy.
Hey, Becky.
Why do they condemn others for those mistakes but give kudos to her for smiling thru it? I just don't get it.
Oops... she fell. Good recovery. Not outstanding scores.
WV is playsins. Wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
Joy, because they are pushing her, that's why.
Are you talking about the mega mix?
The judges gave them:
Mya - 30
Donny - 28
Kelly - 26
Got home late, but better late than not at all. I missed the early dances and just caught Kelly's freestyle. Shame she had that fall. I still think she's adorable.
I've got my fingers crossed for Donny to do really well in the freestyle. Kym usually choreographs something fun. I loved her and Warren's freestyle.
Do either of you watch Modern Family?
Hey, Monty. Glad you are here.
I wish Mya weren't quite so sure of herself.
Hi, Monty.
No, I haven't seen Modern Family.
Too high for Mya IMHO. Their dance didn't show me much. I found it rather boring.
Where'd Delee go?
I agree. Mya never really shines.
I agree on Mya. In the end, they did play it safe and it WAS boring. I thought the nines were generous.
Kelly is cute but doesn't do well enough to win this.
Love Donny and his great personality but he's not the most consistant dancer.
Mya gets too cocky sometimes and never thrills me to death while she's dancing.
I don't think I even care who wins any more.
I am here Amanda was IMing me
Mya goofed up
Donnie's was good!!!
I'm actually clapping. THat was so much fun!!!
I loved Donny's freestyle.
Donny Donny Donny 30 yes
All my votes go to Donny tonight! I love Kelly, but DOnny is the better dancer and showman!
YAY!!! DONNY!!!!
I'm afraid Len won't like it. I did. WOW, he seemed to like it. I hope he gets the good scores.
WOW!!!! Tens! I gave him my votes.
Goodnight all guess we will know tommorrow....
Mya was way over scored for her freestyle. IMHO
Margo
Cloris tomorrow night... look out! She cracks me up.
Come on Donny fans out there. Put him over Mya, please!
See you guys tomorrow night. What a show!
See everyone tomorrow night. Keep the fingers crossed for Donny and Kym!
He's getting my votes.
Now Donny's got me all excited about him possibly winning. I'd like that. He ended with a BIG bang!!
See ya tomorrow.
Joy n you hit the nail on the head. I'm not so sure I really care anymore, but since when is smiling thru it good enough for the freestyle in the FINALS?! IMO that was one of the worst freestyle dances on this show, even if it had been performed well. Yes, at times Kelly's good, but inconsistent and not good enough for the finals.
Mya bores me, too. She has so much talent but what did she come out and do for freestyle? Three 9s was generous, as were the 8s for Kelly.
Donny, at this point should win. Although I would not have chosen him among the full field of dancers, of those left he consistently gives it his all, is entertaining, and can actually dance. All those high kicks and the lifts are not easy. Kim does have a gorgeous figure and is not the tiniest of the bunch, yet he threw her around and caught her like a pro. And he is a genuinely nice guy, while Kelly comes off more like an actress with her moods, and Mya is just smug.
It will be interesting to see if the fan vote can outweigh the judges scores and give Donny the win. But can't the judges still push their favorite between the two at the end? Isn't there one more dance that just they score?
ML
Just for the record, Derek Hough has only won DWTS one time, not three. It was Season 7 with Brooke Burke as his partner. That being said, I still think Derek & Joanna should have won this season. They were the most entertaining, took the most risks and were consistently fabulous for the 2nd half of the season. Her lack of popularity and prior exposure really hurt them, imo.
I think it's very interesting that Mya adamantly did not want to do the routine that Dmitri wanted to do. He won out, choreographed it the way he wanted and then they got criticized for not taking enough risks. If he had only listened to Mya, their freestyle would have been amazing. Everything she wanted to do, is everything the judges wanted to see from her.
I'd be happy with either Mya or Donny winning this season. I think they've both worked really hard, had to maintain that early edge throughout the whole competition and have had moments of brilliance. And I'd be happy for either Kym Johnson or Dmitry since they both have worked very hard and are consummate professionals.
I also think that Joanna and Derek were cheated out of the finals. I LOVED watching them dance and they totally blew me away with that futuristic paso doble. The judges seemed to be trying to edge them out with their comments and also seemed to try to influence the call-in votes. They (judges) seemed most of the season to do the opposite with Kelly. Carrie Ann, in particular, has made no secret of the fact that Kelly is her fave. Her recent interviews are very telling.
I'm now hoping for a Donny/Kym win. Mya has played it safe way too often, plus she doesn't have any dazzle and Kelly lacks the grace that any dancer needs to have.
Here's a little blast from the past to warm up for tonight's final showdown. The Pepsi Twist commercial from the 2003 Superbowl. The Osbournes and the Osmonds. Funny stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHELc2q2Z0w
Kelly and Donny have been my favorites for while now, so I'm thrilled for them in the final 3. I think Donny's got this one.
Hey, anyone else here?
I agree with whoever said Mya and Kelly were scored too high on their free style.
Hi Becky. I'm here but hurting. Did something to my foot today. Have no idea what but it hurts like you know what.
Is Whitney lip-syncing? I've heard her sing twice on TV and thought she wasn't up to her old self yet. Also heard she didn't do so well on the AMA's either.
Lovr this Loser's Club segment. Ashley has a good sense of humor about it.
Hi gals, Whitney taped her segment(s)last night. I love the losers club. LOL
Hey, Monty!
Okay, think I need to sit this out. Sitting at the pute is not good. Need to get my foot up.
I'll read comments later.
I'm rooting for Donny and Kym.
Odd, I posted a comment and it didn't come up... Hi All!
Joy -- Hope your foot feels better. Could it be that you are just feeling sympathetic toward Kelly?
Oh joyn, hope its just something minor. I'll miss your comments tonight. Get to feeling better soon.
I'm enjoying the show so far. The finale is always good to me, but I think I'll enjoy this one. A little birdie said Donny will win. I hope that birdie is correct. ;) Vote for #1
Joy, hope the foot is better tomorrow.
Hey, everyone! I loved the Loser Club too. Didn't care for the comedian. He left a bad taste in my mouth with his monologue last year when he got down and dirty with the finalists.
I didn't think that Whitney was as good tonight as she usually is.
Hey Sydney and Becky!
Sorry, Tom... that ain't a Texas Two-Step!
Hey, Sydney and Monty.
I have Donny in the pool and I didn't like the idea of him at first... Marie is not my cup of tea. But he's grown on me. Now my sister has come for Thx giving and she has had nothing good to stay about him, lol.
I've really come to appreciate Tom Bergeron this season. He has great one liners.
Oh here's CHUCK!!!! Yay, He can do those lifts like they're nothin'
HI Becky and Monty--- Joy, I do hope your foot is better. Will check back to see your comments.
I loved that one. lol
They all said Lacey would win in a fight! :)
Alec and Natalie were cheated out of many good weeks. I think the fans thought she didn't need their votes. That happens too often on this show.
Sydney, I just read about the little girl squirrel. Thank you.
Back to DWTS, Adam was funny.
I think Kelly has already won -- adn while it's cliche it's in the truest sense of the world.
That said, she is so likable I would like to see her win. Maya is the best true dancer, but I don't know why... she doesn't stand out, has no personality, especially sandwiched between two like Donny and Kelly.
Donny may win because he has a huge fan base....this show has already served Donny and Marie -- they have a money making show in Vegas, Marie lost weight and got out of her rut, and both have enjoyed stints as commenters on ET and other entertainment shows.... Sounds like you all feel he will win.
Bring on Cloris, Jerry and the Woz. If nothing else, they entertained me in their seasons. I also look forward to the Jerry/Michael dance off.
I'm glad to see that Kelly will be dancing her VW. It was beautiful that first night of the season.
Sydney, ITA about Kelly. I think Donny far outweighed my expectations for this season. I thought he would be over the top cheesy and remind me of Marie on DWTS, but he hasn't. I have to agree with Joyn in her comments about his work ethic and attitude, and I've been really enjoying watching him this season.
Above all, Kelly and Donny have made me smile more this season than any other season.
Kelly took my breath away with her VW the fist time and once again tonight.
Kelly's feet left the floor. That said, it was a beautiful dance. I bet they let it slide. She has made so much progress in her dancing.
Hey y'All who's gonna win??

Hey y'All who's gonna win??
***************
DONNY and KYM! :)
I saw that Becky -- feet leaving the floor.
HI MARGO!!!
Hey, Margo. Long time, no see. Good to have you visiting with us. I hope it is Donnie and Kym, but I think the judges want Mya or Kelly.
I think the judges have wanted Mya all along, but the dances they chose for them is interesting. Donny and Kelly both have dances they scored highest one. I can't remember what Mya and Dimitry (sp) scored on their Jive when they did it originally.???
The judges scores don't really mean much tonight. The viewer votes will determine the winner.
GO Donny or Kelly...
Come on Donnie!
Come on Donnie! Bet they place them Mya, Donnie, Kelly.
WOW!!!!! Donnie and Kym placed first. That surprises me!
YAY Donny and Kym! Another 30!
Kym looked shocked to see that. I wasn't, and happy that Donny beat Mya head to head.
Bring on Michael and Jerry, lol
Margo,
Can you repost the original pool on this page? I've forgotten who had who and want to congrats the winner tonight. I had Maks... sigh.
Oh, and Debi. :)
Yes, yes, yes! They worked Puppy Love into the show. Chelsie and Louie were so cute there.
I really wish I could have seen Donnie and Marie when I was in Vegas.
What is left... Cloris and company and Jerry/Michael. Michael is a Dallas Cowboy, but Jerry is one of my all time favorites -- only Emmitt Smith. I love that guy!
Jerry wins.
Love the mirror rings!
As much as I disliked Aaron, that was one of my favorite dances this season.
Aaron turned into a good dancer. Too bad he came in with such a bad attitude. I think that was his downfall.
Cloris was funny! Crappy dancer, but funny!
I'll always love the CLORIS!
based on all that audience reaction, I had second thoughts that Kely would be third.
BOOOOOOO
I knew she would be third, but I love her. I smiled more this season because of Kelly and Louis.
Kelly was third as was deserved.
Kelly did grow a lot this season. Probably more than the other two.
Yes!!!!! I screamed that out! I am so glad he won!!!
So when is next season?
Just HAD to come back to say,
YAAAAAAAYYYYY, DONNY!!!!!!!!!!
yes,yes,yes....
DOnny and Kym. I love Kym and she deserved a win for the pros. I'm so happy!!!
Got to go check on my baby girl. Catch all of you tomorrow.
Great show and a great season. I'll see you all later this week. Maybe not Thursday... turkey day!
Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!
Double Yay for KYM. She has worked hard for season after season!
whoever did the sucking up to that 5 foot dude ( Donny )-- might as well have sucked up to the Lollypop Kids. (memba the Lollypop Kids?) Wait till next season, the goofiest one will likely be the next winner.
Joy n I hope your foot is better. Ice, elevate, and ibuprofen!
Once again I totally agree with you and Caroline about Derek and Joanna. They were the all around best this season and that futuristic paso was my favorite dance of the season. That said, all three couples were excellent tonight, but I think it's interesting that with all the talk of how much Kelly has grown as a dancer on this show that her best and final performance was her first.
Like many of us here I was rooting for Donny and Kym in the end and I'm glad they won, too. He's pretty much just as cute and sweet as he was way back then...
Btw, Whitney Houston is not yet ready for prime time. Both performances were bad and carried only by her backup singers. And they were taped? And lip synched?? Why would you lip synch to a bad version of yourself?!? What's the point? Hpoefully with a little more rehab, both she and her voice will improve.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and especially to Jackie. I am thankful we have this blog to chat and vent about all these shows. See you all on Thursday for Survivor!
ML
Thanks ML and others in regard to my foot. I've done exactly as you mentioned, ML, and it feels only slightly better today. My hubby wants me to go into emergency but I'm waiting to see if it improves more today.
I also agree about Whitney. She is definitely not up to her old self yet. Hope that she will eventually get that wonderful voice back again.
I am thrilled that Donny won. He was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and on GMA this AM and is continuing to show himself to be the classy guy that he is.
