Child I can't wait til you get older. Fifty is far from being a senior. :rofl I need to get off here now my arthritis is acting up with all this strenuous activity of typing and all plus it's time to drink my morning Ensure and take a morning nap before my soaps come on. :lolQuote:

Jennifer had absolutely no bad motives for talking about her new injury last night. The voting was already closed, which takes away the only reason someone might fake an injury on finals night. And the judges would know if it wasn't true, because the show oversees and consults with any doctor visits, so they can determine if a performer should go on or not. She wasn't faking, and there was nobody she needed to try and pull sympathy from at that late hour.
How about this crazy story: She's 50, and has been living with ongoing neck/back problems for 20 years, and just subjected herself to 3 months of physical torture? These certainly aren't the kind of circumstances under which fresh injuries could pop up more than once...how dare she! :P
Not to mention, despite having her own segment of "haters" she kept her middle finger to herself. ;)
I would rather have the Hoff win than Grey. I just can't stand her. If you are hurt, go home. If it isn't that bad, don't talk about it. I know nothing about her except that she has pain and then dances like there is no pain.
:rofl yep, she had her haters, that's for sure but stayed very classy throughout.Quote:

And like you said the judges would have known what was happening, even commented on it regularly too, which gave credance to the sincerity of it. Loved her story and her winning made up for all the crap that went with this season for me.
Very true:laugh!Quote:

But no, seriously, I'm okay with Jennifer having won last night because there was no denying that she was the best dancer. Her complaining only irritated me sometimes, but overall it was no big. I commend her for having done this at her age...not many women could. So kudos to you Jen, even though I wanted Kyle to win;)
While I got tired of hearing about Jennifer's constant parade of injuries and the whole "can she compete?" storyline all season (mostly because I knew that they were just hyping that angle and she would compete), I don't think the ruptured disc had much to do with her scoring last night. The judges were giving her tens prior to that, and the audience vote was, as you pointed out, already in. Besides which, it wasn't her fault that they kept bringing it up constantly.Quote:

My concern was whether anyone really should keep going on in the face of that many injuries, which could have serious consequences worth far more than a stupid tacky trophy. It's not that she couldn't do it or didn't want to do it, but whether it was the best choice. I hope it was, for her sake. I also hope no one ever is allowed to keep competing past a reasonable point just because they're extremely competitive and want to keep dancing.
Bristol captured the young 20 something votes, she captured the teenage votes. She captured my vote, the only time I voted this season and I am no conservative. She also captured a good number of my friends' votes who would never be supportive of Sarah Palin.Quote:

Although TPTB could very well have influenced judges scores, it would be impossible to engineer viewer votes handled independently by a 3rd party, not to mention, given that a monetary prize involved, I would think as with game shows, the DWTS viewer votes part of the contest strictly regulated.
I know women who've had plastic surgery, total facelifts, etc., and they DON'T have shiny skin. However, it seems to be Botox that causes the shiny look.Quote:
