I think they all did a great job. This season they've entertained us, scared us, and made us realize they are just as human as the rest of us.
The judges seemed to be very cranky and critical last night. A little more so than usual. Of course, critique the dancers, but why be so cruel as they seem to be on occasion? The judges seem to be very snobby most of the time, and I find that very irritating.
Marie Osmond, mother of eight, age 48, made all of us over-40 women proud! On top of the grueling schedule of just being on "Dancing With The Stars", she had to deal with passing out on live television, her dad passing away, her son being put into rehab, and other engagements with her family. She smiled through it all despite the criticism and adversity she faced. In my book that makes her a winner.
Bruno Tonioli said Marie Osmond and Jonathan's dance was "the loopiest thing he'd ever seen". He also compared it to Baby Jane and the bride of Chucky. These comments were simply uncalled for and plain mean-spirited. This from a guy who is so animated he makes Scooby Doo seem like a real dog.
Even when these judges gave praise last night it wasn't whole-hearted.
Not bad for a 48-year-old mom!
After Melanie Brown's performance Carrie Ann Inaba still wasn't satisfied. Her comment was that she was expecting a hair more excitement. Again, Mel B has a new baby, and she has been working very hard with the Spice Girls. Cut these people a little slack! They've all had other commitments through the whole season of "Dancing With The Stars". I was so happy to see the Spice Girls in the audience boo Carrie Ann's comments.
Helio Castroneves got slammed for his sloppy footwork and hard landings. I personally found his performance very entertaining. Let's remember this guy is a race car driver. Give him a brake. Sorry -- a little play on words there!
I found the whole season of "Dancing With The Stars" entertaining and a program my whole family could watch. How many shows can you say that about today?
The only thing that could have made this season better was the judges not being so mean-spirited with their comments. There is constructive criticism and then there is just being plain mean. Five-year-old children know the difference; why don't adults?
My 14-year-old daughter, Nicole, was shocked by the mean comments. She was especially offended by the comments about Marie last night. I have to agree with my daughter; the judges went a little too far and out of their way to be nasty.
As far as I am concerned there are no losers. Every single one of them has worked hard. Not to mention the professional dancers like Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Julianne Hough and Jonathan Roberts who made these stars truly shine.
They should all be proud. All of these stars gave up time with their families to do this, and gave us many hours of enjoyable family entertainment. For that alone I thank them. I'm just sorry the judges didn't seem to appreciate it, but I'm sure many families at home did.
The only people left to redeem themselves tonight are the judges. Let's hope they do just that!
