5/23 Finals Discussion Thread **Spoilers**

[sportsfan76]

Mark and Chelsea's opening looked out of sync. Wonder if the judges noticed.

They are still out of sync as I am typing...

Here comes the 30.....even though it was out of sync.

[ranger1rg]

are these judges BLIND???

they're getting 3 10s for THAT???

[Doats]

Big surprise--the judges are loving C&Ms hip hop. What a total lack of integrity this season.

Chelsea and Mark: Got to give it to Mark, he is a hellacious dancer! It is what it is. Noticed that he kept her off the floor with lifts for a good part of the dance. She was less competition for him if her feet were off the floor!

[Tilden]

Sloppy.

That's precisely what I was thinking. And geez, a bike, smoke machine, and light up shoes? Ick.

I can't believe Len is calling that dreck fantastic. I was hoping he, at least, would point out that it didn't seem to have much cohesion. It was more like Mark just threw in everything he could think of, one thing after another.

CA can't find the words for what she's thinking? I certainly can. I just don't like to use them on a discussion board.

Wow! I can't can't believe the judges - that dance was not good - but they will get all 10's. Unfair, unfair, unfair!!!

[Fritz]

Am I nit picking or were Chelsea and Mark completely out of sync? And before the lifts, she would completely stop while Mark was still dancing and almost like psych herself up for the lift. That was terrible... and weird.

Did anyone else notice Mark dancing while Chelsea was standing waiting for the next move?
ETA - Fritz beat me to it!

No kidding. It was like she was a prop for him to throw around while he danced instead of a partner.

Next season, why don't they just let Mark dance with a full length mirror and be done with it?

No nitpicking - they were out of synch - the judges are just setting Mark up for the win
