Truth that season 4 had only 4 good celeb that can dance but they all can dance pretty good for a celeb. Apollo, Joey , Laila and Ian were neck to neck in the semifinal. If Brooke join any season except season 1, she will not win or even get into the final 3. HOpe season 8 , the celeb can dance better than season 7 or I will not watch it anymore.

HOpe season 8 , the celeb can dance better than season 7 or I will not watch it anymore.

Look at the lackluster free style. Compare to Season 2, season 4 when Apollo-Julianne and Joey-Kym awesome freestyle. Helio-Julianne was good too. And of course last season Kristi-Mark. Like lots of people said here free style really can make you or break you. From Stacy season 2, Leila season 4, Mel B and Marie season 5, etc etc. So we really had to give our hat to Cheryl, Julianne and Mark who can coreograph a good free style round. I am not so sure that Derek free style deserve a 30.

Last night's conversation here was so compelling; I am sorry I wasn't here at the time. (Just celebrating my birthday.) One point, there was too much praise for Brooke. It was unnecessary as the judges' scores were so high. At times, I felt they were too hard on Lance and Lacey. Len's score of 10 on Warren's dance was undeserved. I wish Lancey had not done the Hip Hop dance for the Finale. It was not what I expected or wanted. Overall, it was a good season!

I guess not getting caught up in the week to week stuff, I could see Brooke as TCO/winner from miles away.

Kim K. was as slow as usual. Lance and Lacy mucked up a lift. Also Lacey was trying a bit too hard and made Lance look kind of slow on the last dance, I thought. Pure cheese, just what the audience watches for. Brooke was the obvious favorite from the beginning, I don’t think this is a show that can really surprise you. Kim K. was as slow as usual.

I had been rooting for Julianne and Cody but have never thought Cody was the best dancer. At various times throughout the show, many of the dancers gave great performances but Brooke was the most consistently great performer. The Viennese Waltz, was absolutely beautiful - even in slowed down speed, she showed grace and beautiful lines. She did the most difficult choreographed dances as well. I loved Lacey's choreography and Warren's personality (except if that story was true that TMZ reported) but there is no doubt that Brooke was the best dancer. Congtrats to all the dancers!

His choreography is always so incredibly hard, I am glad that he finally got some recognition for it. Poor Alec, they finally get a model who can dance, and they pair her with Derek. I would really love to see Edyta or maybe even Kim (such a good sport) win next season. I am glad that Brooke won, and really, really glad that Derek won.

They all worked very hard and I think that all three deserved to be in the final. Having said that, I have to say that the show has never been about picking the winner for me. It's about the totality of the season - watching the struggles and the growth and the joy in watching the "stars" challenge themselves to do something outside of their comfort zone. I also love watching a "live" show when absolutely anything can happen and usually does. Another thing I love is the mix of celebs and pros who get thrown together and become instant family. The stories are great. I can't wait for the next season. I would have been happy with any of the three winning. They all worked very hard and I think that all three deserved to be in the final.

Followed by Brooke who had an even wider margin over third place Lance, so in all honesty if the the dancers had done the same dances on finale night and gotten all equal scores, there is a good chance Brooke would have still come in ahead of Lance--though likely Warren would have beaten them both. My other guess is as much as Lance touted himself as the worst dancer in NSync and I certainly agree that he was, for some he was probably still seen as a boybander "ringer". Usually there are some every season who refuse to vote for people who they think have prior dance training, even if it is as far from ballroom as possible. It reared it's ugly head with Mario Lopez, Joey Fatone, Mel B. and several others. So I wouldn't be surprised if some didn't vote for him for that reason ether.

As another one of the minority (in this blog) who has favored Brooke (and Warren) since week 2, it isn't hard for me to believe either. Just my two cents -- A TON of people I know who love the show and watch constantly all rooted for Brooke <strong>all</strong> season long, with the sentimental favorite being Warren. It's a small sample, but I do believe people voted for her because she has been consistent and is a REALLY good dancer.
