Winner Crowned on Dancing with the Stars - Finale Update - No surprises here

It’s all but over… another season of Dancing with the Stars comes to and end and the winner is…

Well, if it were only that easy. At the end of a two-hour extravaganza America will learn who will take home the mirror ball trophy for Season 7 of Dancing with the Stars.

Going into the final, just a few points separate the three remaining couples

  • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough - Total Score - 58 out of 60
  • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer - Total Score -53 out of 60
  • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson - Total Score - 53 out of 60

Each couple gets to dance one last chance to prove to the judges they have what it takes to be the champions.

  • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson
  • Tonight’s Dance - The Hustle If it all comes down to this dance - I’d say Warren and Kym are out. 10 weeks of competing have taken their toll on the couple.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 9 - You might not be the judge’s champion but I’m sure you’re the public’s champions

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - You are the craftiest of them all.

    Carrie Ann Inaba -9 - You two are too cool for school. Total Score 27 out of 30 combined total 80 out of 90 points

  • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
  • Tonight’s dance - The Jitterbug I think the tried a little too hard - but it was fun to watch.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 9 - You sparked those last few weeks.

    Bruno Tonioli - 10 - You have become a great showman.

    Carrie Ann Inaba -9 - You so deserve to be here… Total Score 28 out of 30 - Combined total 81 out of 90

  • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
  • Tonight’s dance - Viennese Waltz She only need 24 to stay in the lead… will it happen? It was pretty to watch… I thought they might have gone for a higher energy number - nonetheless, this was a safe choice.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 10 - Northing I’ve seen has made me change my mind… that was the best Viennese Waltz.

    Bruno Tonioli - 10 - A grand performance.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 10 - Brooke you are a star. Total Score 30 out of 30 - Combined total 88 out of 90

    So who won?

    Finishing in third place is Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer

    Coming in second place Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

    So, Brooke Burke & Derek Hough are walking away with this year’s Mirror Ball trophy and the season seven championship. Few couples have been more consistent performers this season than Brooke and Derek, so all seems right in the Dancing with the Stars ballroom… Agree?

    Will a Playboy model win Dancing with the Stars?

    It could be true! Last night Brooke Burke and Derek Hough were the top score getters and if America votes the same way as the Judges, America could choose a Playboy model as the Mirror Ball Trophy Winner. We’ve come so far -

    The Judge’s scores from last night show -

    • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough - Total Score - 58 out of 60
    • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer - Total Score -53 out of 60
    • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson - Total Score - 53 out of 60

    Who do you think will win?

    Dancing with the Stars - Finale Update

    After 10 weeks of dancing it all comes down to the finale to choose this year’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ mirrorball trophy winner. Tonight (Nov. 24,) the three remaining couples will be showing us what they’ve got as they heat up the ballroom floor with samba and a freestyle number.

    The three remaining couples are…

    • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
    • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
    • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

    [an error occurred while processing this directive]

    Tonight’s dances -

  • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
  • The couple has been at the top of the leaderboard 80% of the time. She and Derek have had the only perfect score. During the season the couple has scored 12 - 10s. But in the last last week’s performance, she was poor at best. Will Brooke bring the A game tonight?

    First Dance - Samba Smackdown Brooke and Derek are here to dance - great energy and precision footwork.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 9 - you’ve been the sensation of season seven and you’re the won to beat.

    Bruno Tonioli -10 - You really are a dazzling, sizzling

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - You bring the technical nuances to each dance. Total Score 28 out of 30

    Second Dance - Freestyle Brooke and Derek have set the bar pretty high after that number! Fun to watch and full of energy (Having watched the full season of Grease - you’re the one that I want, I wished the producers choose a different number!) That’s going to be a perfect 10

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 10 - I got all hot under the collar.

    Bruno Tonioli - 10 - Follow that! You are the one we all want. One of the best freestyle…

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 10 - Tonight you brought it. Total Score 30 out of 30 - Total for tonight 58 out of 60

  • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson
  • Warren and Kym have finished second in the weekly competitions more often than any other couple. Unlike Brooke and Derek, they have only scored three perfect 10s. Warren and Kym have been crowd favorites receiving standing ovations after many of their dances - but will it be enough?

    First Dance - Samba Smackdown Twinkle toes was back to top form -it seemed as though Warren was concentrating too much.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman -7 - Much more content… it wasn’t Kym doing all the work.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - You’re irresistible

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - Warren you are the most improved. Total Score 25 out of 30

    Second Dance - Freestyle Warren was way to focused on keeping his place in the number - so much that it didn’t look like he was having fun.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 10 - As an entertainer, you have no one that touches you.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - With you all resistance is futile.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - Of all the routines - that one was my favorite. Total Score 28 out of 30 - Total for tonight 53 out of 60.

  • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
  • Lance and Lacey have had 2 first place finishes this season and have only scored 3 10s. The contemporary dancing duo have the largest lead going into the final night of dancing.

    First Dance - Samba Smackdown That was some fancy footwork…. but a little light in the energy level.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 8- You’ve got a lot going on in that dance - you’ve got to work on the finesse.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - You are so tight and so clean.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - You have the momentum. Total Score 26 out of 30

    Second Dance - Freestyle While that was a fun number to watch - The hip-hop may have been the wrong choice.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 9 - I liked that song.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - Youthful, vibrant and exciting… Very Good.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - I loved the beginning and I loved the end… there was one section that through it off. Total Score 27 out of 30 for a total of 53 out of 60.

    Cloris Leachman will be back to cheer on the newest Mirror Ball Trophy winner in tomorrow night’s results show. After tonight’s performances, Brooke and Derek are in the lead and are likely to win season seven. So who are you voting for?

    Dance card set for Finale - ‘Dancing with the Stars’

    The dance card is set for the season 7 finale of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and it’s anyone’s guess who will make it through. Going into tonight’s show (Nov. 18), Brooke Burke and Derek Hough had been strongly favored, but after last night’s dreadful outing, anything could happen.

    America has voted and the three couples selected for this year’s finale are…

    • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
    • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
    • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

    So, Cody Linley & Julianne Hough have been eliminated and won’t be advancing to the finals. In a goodbye speech worthy of someone 10 years his senior, Cody thanked the whole world and was glad his dancing “can inspire someone to want to dance…”

    So it really all comes down to the final performances. Any one of the three remaining couples could realisticly walk away with the mirror ball trophy.

  • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
  • - Could win it all if they continue to find the right mix of traditional dances peppered with their eclectic personalities.

  • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
  • - This couple could win if they bring back their A game. The performance this week looked like Brooke was just learning to walk let alone dance, so unless they bring it - they’ll be out.

  • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson
  • - While fun to watch, this couple’s style is really more of a one-trick pony show. In order to pull out the win, Warren has to master a few more dance steps and continue to wow the crowd.

    Who do you think will win?

    Dancing with the Stars - Semifinal Update

    Unless something dramatic happens in these last two weeks of dancing, Brooke Burke is likely to be the next Mirror Ball trophy winner. In my mind, this is her competition to loose.

    Tonight’s competition -

    Brooke Burke & Derek Hough

    First Dance - The Jive These two really know how to heat up the ballroom! It’s just too bad the performance was so bad.

    Judges Comments -

    Len Goodman - 7 - That was a disaster. It was one of those nights.

    Bruno Tonioli - 7 - You went the wow - the problem is how. I am totally shocked.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - The fact you went for blatant illegal lifts. I found that a bit disrespectful.

    Total Score 21 out of 30 - Ouch

    Second dance of the night - Salsa Perhaps it was just the tassels on Brooke’s pants but that was quite a nice improvement.

    Judges Comments -

    Len Goodman -10 - Work to your strengths - don’t worry about other people.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - Brooke is back.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - …a champion is… is someone who rises above it and comes right back.

    Total Score 28 out of 30 - Total for tonight 29 out of 60

    Cody Linley & Julianne Hough

    First dance of the night - paso doble It’s hard to imagine Julianne had a major surgery just a few weeks ago - Not their best performance - even the audience thinks so… they’re on their feet.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 7 - I’m afraid you are going to get your marching orders.

    Bruno Tonioli - 7 - That was different.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 8 - For your determination - 10. Total Score 22 out of 30

    Second dance of the night - - Salsa Cody seemed to be running out of energy as the dance wound down - it’s a good thing he didn’t drop Julianne

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman -8 - Great lifts - well done.

    Bruno Tonioli - 8 - You danced this dance like a chicken devil.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 8 - It was a lot of fun.

    Total Score 24 out of 30 - Total for tonight 46 out of 60

    Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

    First dance of the night - mambo Warren and Kym might be the surprise couple of the season.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman - 8 - You epitomize, Go with what you know.

    Bruno Tonioli - 8 - You are such a super-size sense of fun… but very engaging.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 8 - You know how to bring the house down.

    Total Score 24 out of 30

    Second dance of the night - The Jitterbug Warren and Kym are always fun to watch - it would be nice if he could learn a few more steps.

    Judges Comments -

    Len Goodman - 8 - You are truly a joyful person to watch.

    Bruno Tonioli - 8 - (I have no idea what he said)

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - I loved it!

    Total Score 25 out of 30 - Total tonight 49 out of 60

    Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer

    First dance of the night - Mambo Nest dance of the night so far - full of energy and simple on! The crowd agrees giving the two a standing ovation.

    Judges Comments

    Len Goodman -9 - In this competition it isn’t where you start it’s where you finish… and that was the best dance so far.

    Bruno Tonioli - 9 - This is semifinal material - way to go.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 10 - Wow - that was a show stopper. Total Score 28 out of 30

    Second dance of the night - The Jitterbug Could Lance and Lacey pull this one out? That was a second strong performance - inspite of the fact he lost

    Judges Comments -

    Len Goodman - 9 - Two fabulous dances!

    Bruno Tonioli - 10 - That was brilliant.

    Carrie Ann Inaba - 10 - You pitched it perfectly.

    Total Score 29 out of 30 - Total tonight 57 out of 60

    One of the best part of tonight’s show was the professional dancers showing us how the dances should look. For us dance novices, it was a much appreciated lesson.

    The biggest surprise of the night had to be Lance and Lacey performances - they were on fire. If they could keep that energy and precision up through the finale (assuming they make it though), I’d say they have a pretty good shot at winning the whole thing.

    The couple likely to be going home is Cody and Julianne. He’s come a long way this season but it’s likely the couple has dance their last dance. Agree?

    ‘American Idol’ - Suicide hits close to home for Paula Abdul - Update

    Late Wednesday (Nov 12), various news outlets were reporting that Paula Goodspeed, a 2005 Idol contestant and self-proclaimed Paula Abdul super-fan, had apparently committed suicide outside Abdul’s California home.

    TMZ is reporting that local police had foiled an earlier suicide attempt by Goodspeed near Abdul’s home.

    People magazine is reporting that Goodspeed’s first name was really Sandra, but went by Paula as a show of devotion to Abdul. Goodspeed’s license plate read “ABL LV” who some have suggested stands for Abdul Love. Allegedly other Adbul items were reported to have been found in the car including a picture of Abdul that was hanging from the rearview mirror.

    In a statement released by her publicist Abdul said, “I am deeply shocked and saddened at what transpired yesterday. My heart and prayers go out to her family.”

    Regardless of how you might feel about Paula Abdul and her performance as a judge on ‘American Idol,’ she’s the one judge who always has a kind word to say to the contestants about their efforts. This is in sharp contrast to Simon Cowell, who’s sharply worded criticisms have made him one of the most loathed judges of any of the reality TV shows.

    With the new season of ‘American Idol’ just a few months away… I have to wonder if this event will bring out a slightly more refined and gentle ‘American Idol…’ I’d guess not.

    Wow - Local Chef is out!

    Wow - before season 5 of Top Chef even really got started, Lauren Starling Hope is going home - wherever that is.

    As the chefs introduced themselves, I thought Lauren introduced herself as being from Savannah, GA - but the Bio for the show says she’s a chef at Jag’s in Union Centre - West Chester - I’m confused. A call to the publicist for Bravo didn’t help to clarify the matter - maybe the publicists was trying to tell me something with her no comment. Since Lauren was eliminated in the first half-hour of the show, I guess it doesn’t matter now does it.

    How sad… I was hoping for a local connection to the best reality TV show on cable.

    If you have any scoop on the local chef, dish it here!

    Greene is out on Dancing with the Stars

    Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke are the latest celebrity dancers booted from the Dancing with the Stars ballroom.

    Greene, an Olympic gold medalist, may have had some fast moves on the track, but in recent weeks his heart really didn’t seem to be in the dancing game as he did the quickstep, paso doble and other dances on the ballroom stage.

    Green said, “I made a lot of new friends out here. I learned how to dance out here in front of millions of people every night. I had a great time.”

    The remaining celebrity dancers include:

    • Cody Linley & Julianne Hough
    • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
    • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
    • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

    With the finale just a few weeks away, the competition appears to be coming down to a competition between Brooke and just about no one else. So, unless something changes, I’m going to say Brooke Burke and Derek Hough are likely to walk away with the season 7 Mirror ball trophy.

    It seems we are at the point in the season when the dancers are losing steam as evidenced by several lack luster performances. Any thoughts about who gets voted off this week? I’d wager it’s Cody or Warren… thoughts anyone?

      Dancing with the Stars - Results Lucci is out!

      Unlike the election results in Montgomery County, the Dancing with the Stars votes have been counted and are ready to be revealed… so who’s out this week, we’ll soon find out.

      Before we get to the results, Lionel Ritchie is back to the ‘Dancing with Stars’ dance floor to perform a new song from his upcoming album.

      Tonight’s (Nov. 5) Macy’s Stars of Dance featured a Dave Scott choreographed routine where the dancers/sword swallowers danced through the the man-made fog. Once again, I think Macy’s could have saved their sponsorship dollars - there were a few fun moments… but I just didn’t feel it.

      The Sport’s Center segment was supposed to be funny, right? It wasn’t…. enough said.

      Thank goodness Lionel Ritchie came back to sing his hit “Dancing on the Ceiling”… The energy level is back! The pro dancing was fun too!… oops, one of the dancers almost fell.

      Back for another week are…

      • Cody Linley & Julianne Hough
      • Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
      • Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson
      • Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
      • Maurice Greene & Cheryl Burke

      America has voted and Susan Lucci & Tony Dovolani are out. I think Susan must have been planned on being voted out as she gave one of the longest, rehearsed farewell addresses this season! America got it right for yet another week. So who is likely to be voted of next week? Will it be Warren or Cody?

      If you have a thought or comment on this season’s ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ be sure to share it here.

      Dancing with the Stars; it’s the 7th week

      It’s week 7 and I have one question about tonight’s show (Nov. 3) - will Cloris Leachman really be back? While she may return, this time it will have to be as an audience member since she and her dance partner were voted off last week.

      Tonight’s show will feature one new element, a team dance competiton where competitors will turn teammates and share the resulting score.

      Tongiht’s show.

      Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

      Tonight’s dance - The Fox Trot It didn’t seem as though Warren’s found his grove back.

      Judges Comments

      Len Goodman - 7 - It wasn’t a classic fox trot. It wasn’t your best dance.

      Bruno Tonioli - 7 - After the promising beginning… the technique went into recession

      Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - You were not performing the normal Warren. Total Score 21 out of 30

      Susan Lucci & Tony Dovolani

      Tonight’s dance - Pasa Doble Where they just

      Maurice Greene & Cheryl Burke

      Tonight’s dance - Cha Cha Before the dance tonight, we learn of yet another injury. Maurice hyper extended his leg. Their version of the Cha Cha was unlike anything I’ve seen before on DWS.

      Judges Comments

      Len Goodman - 9 - It was like cheap jewelry… dazzling.

      Bruno Tonioli -8 - happy days are here again for Maurice.

      Carrie Ann Inaba -8 - It’s nice to see you bring your A game. Total Score 25 out of 30

      Cody Linley & Edyta (in for Julianne Hough who is recovering)

      Tonight’s dance - Viennese Waltz It is so hard to take him seriously with that smile. Overall it was a pretty good effort considering.

      Tonight’s dance - Rumba Before the dance gets underway, we get to see just how tense the behind the scene moments are getting as the season progresses. DRAMA! The couple is Dancing barefoot! This might be a Dancing with the Stars first. My guess is that Len won’t like it. I thinkg the did a great job… BTW Kathy Griffin is in the audience.
