Who Deserves To Win?

I want to blog about one of my favorite TV shows, Dancing With The Stars, a reality show featuring celebrities partnered with professional ballroom dancers compete each other. Their scores comprised 50% of the studio judges' scores and the other half from the audience and TV viewers voting for their favorite pair through phone calls, text messaging and through online voting.

The show is now on its 8^th season and today is the season finale. The remaining three (3) competing celebrities: Olympic gymnast and gold medalist Shawn Johnson partnered with Mark Ballas, reality-TV star Melissa Rycroft partnered with Tony Dovolani and actor/model Gilles Marini partnered with Cheryl Burke, danced their hearts out for the coveted crystal ball trophy and the title as the Season 8 winner. The first dance was the Paso doble where the three couples danced back-to-back-to-back with the same music, "So What" by Pink. I would say they all nailed it. They were competing against each other and yet they performed as a team. It was one of the best scripted routines I've ever seen in a DWTS finale. The second dance routine that the competing couples had to do was the most awaited "freestyle" number. Each of their professional partners had to showcase the strength of their celebrities in this dance routine where there are no rules to follow. How they scored with the judges? In their first dance, Gilles and Cheryl got a perfect score of 30 and in the second routine; Shawn and Mark got the perfect score of 30 as well.

Tomorrow will be the results show and we will know who will take home the trophy for Season 8. Remember, the judges' scores only comprised 50% of the final score for each couple, the other half came from the viewers. So who will win? Looking at their scores, any couple will win. Their scores were close enough that it won't matter anymore once the viewers' votes were added for the final scores. I have my favorite but to play it safe, I would say that any couple deserves to win.
