soooooooooooo happy to see Kirstie take out Mark at F3.......poetic justice for the riggage of WTA. Sadly, Chelsea had to bear the brunt of having Mark for a partner - had she had any other pro, she prolly would've won. She clearly was the best dancer left and Mark was the noose around her neck.
I watched Hines FS last night and was not impressed, how on earth did that earn all 10s??Originally Posted by northernviewer
....I think the conspiracy theorys would stop. But as long as horrible dancers like Bristol can get 9's and 10's for an effort that should only garner a 7 and dancers like Chelsea and Mark can advance when it was clear to many that Ralph would have made F3 due to fan votes... they will continue to be under suspicion.
The complete list of results from each season are posted in a stickied thread here. Alec Mazo won S1 with Kelly Monaco, he's the only other winning pro besides those listed. (Charlotte Jorgensen was John O'Hurley's partner for that strange dance-off)What about the first season? I can't think of who did win (in terms of the pro) that season, but I'm certain it couldn't have been Mark or Derek, because they weren't on the show yet. Even if you count the second dance off winner as the winner of season one, I know John's partner was more his age and was definitely not Cheryl, Julianne, or Kym.
Or were you just thinking of pros currently on the show?
I know right - the scoring wasn't going to make a difference, they knew Hines was going to win by a landslide - even lowballing Kirstie's dances didn't help Chelsea's lack of fanbase.
Exactly. Scoring is relative. If the first dance is scored all nines, a dance equal to it is scored the same, a better performance gets a 10, and a lesser performance 8 or lower. By scoring the first dance that was riddled with mistakes 10s, the judges were left with no where to go.
I really loved Mark and Chelsea's Harry Potter dance - but not as a Viennese waltz. If that had been their freestyle, I would have thought it the best FS of the night.
I was surprised that M&C chose the Harry Potter dance -- it was one of Mark's worst offenses in terms of dancing around Chelsea and not giving her enough to do. I wasn't that impressed with it, and all the 10s from the judges made my jaw drop. But if a star doesn't have a voting fanbase, they're not going to win no matter how many 10s they get. I'm glad that Mark got splashed with that cold reality this year. He needs to grow up.
In dance tell that to the ghosts of Martha Graham, Fosse and Alvin Ailey.
In painting tell that to the ghosts of Van Gogh, Picasso and Pollock.
In music tell that to Phillip Glass, Paganini and The Sugar Hill gang.
In acting tell that to the ghosts of Sarah Bernhardt, Mae West and Charlie Chaplin.
In writing tell that to the ghosts of James Joyce, Arthur Miller and Byron.
All broke the rules, all were criticized for breaking the rules, all were told they had no business breaking the rules.Some faced jail time or went to jail.
No one remembers the names of their critics but everyone remembers the artists, or at least knows about them.
Without the rule breaking of thees artists we wouldn't progress in any art form.
I am not comparing Mark to these people I am simply saying art must not stop evolving and evolving means using the rules and also breaking them in order to keep the process of new creative ideas flowing.
To say an artist can't or shouldn't do this is to essentially say art in all of it's forms should never ever change. There are a lot of artists who have broken the rules who I don't like in terms of what they present but I respect their output at the same time.

I don't know. maybe the judges love the Pittsburgh Steelers? The guy is a very good dancer and has been from day 1. But, for me he never progressed. Loved his style and his presence and my hat is off to him, but I do think the last few weeks have been head scratchers in terms of his scores. He definitely deserves high scores but i was surprised with all of the tens.
I feel that Kirtie is the one contestant who showed such an amazing arc of growth and even though other contestants had chemistry she and Maks lit up the dance floor and that should count for something -just as important as technique. IN my heart, I think she is the real winner in all of this, as is Maks-she was the every person out there and though her second to last dance wasn't perfect it was quite amazing when you consider her age and weight- that took guts and the ability to take control of her fears and just do it. Wow. I've come away with such a fondness for her and what an inspiration.

So true. After the show lowered themself into the gutter and gave Mark and Chelsea the additional 15 points, I have not forced myself to watch. I recored and went back to watch points of interest, like seeing Chelsea and Mark take third!!!!!!!!Which they only got that by their gifted 15 points. Ralph shouldh have been there. So, I was happy, except that I never saw as much talent in Hines as everyone else did. Oh well,........
