Wow, I was truly surprised Jennie Garth was eliminated from the competition. She was one of the best dancers! By the other hand, I cannot believe Marie Osmond and her partner still there since their overall performance has been so poor. This is to show you that no matter how well these people dance, if the public does not like them they vote them off regardless of their routine.

AP) - She may have been the most popular girl at West Beverly Hills High School, but Jennie Garth couldn't muster enough votes to reach the final of "Dancing with the Stars." Garth, who played Kelly Taylor on "Beverly Hills, 90210" from 1990 to 2000, was eliminated from ABC's No. 1-rated show Tuesday night. A breakthrough performance the night before, which earned her and professional partner Derek Hough their first perfect judges score of 30, wasn't enough. Dancing in next week's final will be two-time Indy 500 champion Helio Castroneves, Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, and singer/performer Marie Osmond. Skill was never an issue for Garth _ it was self-confidence that dogged her throughout the series, though you wouldn't know it from the couple's dazzling cha-cha-cha on Monday, which prompted judge Bruno Tonioli to emphatically score them: "Finally: 10!" "I have self-confidence ... my issue is performing in front of people, and Derek brought that out in me," Garth said, moments after her elimination was announced. "I had such a great time." The oldest and perhaps most well-known of the remaining contestants, Osmond might be the biggest surprise in the final _ or is she? Osmond and partner Jonathan Roberts were the first couple announced as "safe," despite that their judges' score was a show-low 56 out of 60. A cheeky quickstep fell one judge's "9" short of a perfect score; and the mambo that followed, while supremely entertaining, was flawed, earning a 27 out of 30... |
I am guessing that the votes are calculated based on viewer participation rather than professional opinion like Phenomenon? This is a big mistake to me. Maybe their can be a bit of both so that it is realistic since only professionals can detect a great routine as opposed to a great smile.
Yesterday and today is the season finale. Melanie from the Spice Girls is on top on votes and Marie Osmond at the bottom so I think it will be bye-bye for Marie and her partner tonight.
Melanie is a great dancer but I find everything is just too sexualized and her companion said that tonight she will dress in a way that everybody will have the eyes on her (hinting she will barely have clothes on).
Utahn wins 'Dancing' - but it isn't Osmond
For the second time in six months, Utahn Julianne Hough has made a sports figure the big winner on "Dancing With the Stars." She and her partner, race-car driver Helio Castroneves, were the big winners on the hit ABC show on Tuesday night.

Osmond and her partner, Jonathan Roberts, finished at the bottom of the judges' ballots for the third week in a row, but for the first time the viewers' votes weren't enough to save her.
