Yay! Jennifer won! I think it would have been much more interesting if she'd been up against the other really good dancer in the competition (Brandy) rather than the two weakest (Kyle and Bristol)... but it was between Kyle and Jennifer in the end and Jennifer won, as well she should have. If it had been between her and Brandy, I wouldn't have known which one to choose because they were both really good.

I wholeheartdly agree Your right on with you anaylsis. This to me was probably the worst season yet, They nuked really good dancers, with great personailties. I only turned in for the last 5 minutes, to see who won, because I couldn't stand the other two. I thought Jennifer was the best with Brandy a close 2nd. I did get tired of Jennifer's "drama" but glad she won over Bristol and Kyle:bolian:

Sorry for the snide remark on "has-beens", it's just to me there not big "stars" in todays world, like say Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp or even our own Laurence Fishburne, and I've never heard of some of these people. I guess they have and are now doing things, but a "star" to me is like the ones before-mentioned

Did anyone get to see this entire show? I only got to watch a few minutes of it, as I had company drop by. I thought Sugar Ray, did an amazing job, so who came in with the highest score? Tonight the first elmination
I didn't see the whole show because I was watching NCIS: Los Angeles and only flipped over when that went to commercial. But I think Ralph had the highest score followed by Kirstie, I think and maybe Lil Romeo.
Mike Catherwood (and his dancing partner Lacey) got voted off.
