Dancing with the Stars: The Finale

mareio he the man he the man.yo,yo.

mario is the winner so there not emitt so there.
cheryl what favors is she passing out that she won not once but,twice her dancing is not that great.

Mario did win he is the best of the best but i knew
Emitt would win esp.when last to nights he danced first.this is racial not talent.and what favors is his dance partner giving out? that she won 2years in a row her dancing is not that great marios dance partner, she is good.both she and mario brought alot of class to the show,that ended up to be a total sham.
I know i wont be watching dancing with the stars again
the judges are a total pain.I was able to vote six times for Mario when i was told i reached my limit now as i recall they said there is no limit, to call as often as you want,I guess if i had been voteing for Emitt i could have called as often as i wanted to.
plus it was not easy getting through but,i was persistent,and still my votes didn't count. A sham was foisted on me and the american people.Something that should have been fun, it turns political.Oh and the BS with Jerry Springer I could not beleive how long he stayed on and the week before he left that no one had to leave, please give me a break judges.

On the last night of Dancing with the Stars I tried to cast my votes. The Phone line was busy for over an hour. I would hang up and press redial. I did this over and over again. I think the show did something to Mario phone line because I could not get thru. I tried with both my home phone and my cell phone. I just could not get thru. I wonder how many others there are like me. Mario should have won. Emmitt was ok but Mario was very very good.

It's true that Mario did not lose out to say Tucker Carlson but to say that he is somehow not supposed to be in the competition because of his supposed training is, for lack of a better word, absolute hogwash! This is for celebrities who don't have a profession as a dancer. Mario still worked very hard to learn routines as all the stars did -- four days to learn 2 dances -- don't take away the fact that he didn't work hard enough -- all the stars put in the work and it did not come easy to any of them.
I disagree, I was very happy that Drew Lachey won last year, I think he has been the best and most talented winner of dancing with the stars.

Can we find the vote count for the celebs? I want to see if it was a landslide win or very very close.

Very dissapointed Mario didn't win. To me and to alot of people Mario was the best dancer and should have won the trophy for his talents. Too bad the show is about popularity and not about talent. I think the judges shouldn't even vote next year. They should just give their opinions, because they left the voting up to the fans anyway, so why bother.
For three seasons now, the right talented person hasn't won. Well that is in the first season the best dancer almost won, until they decided to do that stupid rematch. Althought the show is entertaining, I'm always disappointed in the results in the end.

Since the first night I have been backing Emmitt. Ok, my loyalties were a little divided - I'm a huge Sara Evans fan and have adored Joey Lawrence since he was little guy on Carson! Other's have said it, but I'll say it again. Mario came into this knowing how to dance. Emmitt did not. Mario danced wonderfully, his talent and ability was obvious every single episode. Emmitt got better every dance. It's not about who can dance consistently, but who can consistently grow and improve. If you;ve watched the previous seasons, you'll know that's what Kelly did (I don't count the "Dance Off" victory of John O'Hurley. I ;loved him, but that was sour grapes), it's what Drew did, and that's exactly what Emmitt did.

The thing that struck me about Mario was his out of the gate arrogance. He repeatedly watched the judges with a look of "how dare you criticize me?" Yes, Joey broke the rules, oddly enough, the same night as Mario, but in all honesty, I think the fault for that should be placed at the feet of their partners. While Joey took the barbs like a gentleman, and apologized, Mario stood there looking incredulous What stuck me the most and made it more obvious at the end who was a true champion was the fact that one the fist things out of Emmitt's mouth was praise for Mario, yet Mario never even said "Congratulations" and kept a good distance from Emmitt and Cheryl. That, to me, says a lot about him.

#8 and #9 - you took the words right out of my mouth, so I won't repeat them.

#7, at the end of the show, Tom said they'd be back next year with another season of dancing.

Look, Emmitt is a deserving champion! He worked extremely hard. Mario may be the BETTER dancer, but how much improvement did he actually make. Mario's dances always seemed to be solo acts showcasing his dance accuity not his ability to dance with a partner.
I personally liked Emmitt's freestyle better since it was an actual dance routine. Mario's freestyle was a disjointed hodge podge of dance moves that had no cohesion. Half The time during Marios freestyle Karina was standing off to the side flailing her arms about, while Mario was doing an individul dance move. You can blame Karina for not puting together a proper dance routine, but I think Mario's opinions and personality probably dominated her. So don't blame Emmitt for actually dancing with his partner. If the show were "So You Think You Can Dance With The Stars" Mario would have definitely won, because he was the better indiviual dancer.
