More Grammie types watch DWTS than American Idol. <em>I am talking about the Nursing Home types.</em> I'll be honest, I didn't notice Lance's pigeon toes until a few weeks ago. I just liked the chemistry between the two of them. Almost any athlete coming into the show comes with a fan base. For the next series, I'd like to see less favoritism shown so early. I really don't mind the older male or female singer. There was so much potential for the win, I just can’t help but wonder why Lance and Lacey chose that song and style.

I don't think I'd want to do a whole bunch of lifts with Lacey either. I still think Lance and Lacey are the best couple with the best chemistry but doing hip hop for the freestyle seemed a bit played out, something a little Blake Lewis/90's-ish, with it. I actually would have scored it under Warren. Lance and Lacey kind of mailed it in, I thought. I don’t think I’d want to do a whole bunch of lifts with Lacey either.

Her skin is like leather and ugh, she reminds me of a drag queen dancing for some reason. My son says she looks like she is 50, if that is the case then a little stiffness is to be expected. Anyhow I sure wish Lance and Lacey had added some more wow factor but I think that anything they did would have been downplayed by Len, at least. Len is SO old school I wonder if Lance's sexual preference really disgusts him. He looks at the two of them with a look like he just tasted something really bad and if the camera swings to him he quickly trys to cover up that look, I wish he would go by the wayside. I hope Lance wins but I dont see it so much now. Warren is just precious though, a big ole teddy bear I think Brooke did great but she is not someone that I enjoy watching, she is too stiff and studied – how old is she?

Not really that surprising since they've been on top over there many times before and football players **EmmittJerry** always do better than they deserve on this show. If they were giving a best choreography award for the freestyle, it should go to Kym but Warren is clearly the weakest dancer of the final three. Lance and Lacey made a big mistake not doing lifts in their freestyle -- that's what people wait all season to see!!! I think what might happen is that Lancey will be eliminated first tonight leaving Warren and Brooke to face-off in the judges round with the judges giving higher scores to Brooke. Will that be enough to win it for Brooke? Guess we'll find out tonight! Whoa, Diaidol is giving it to Warren & Kym!

This was their time to shine and there wasn't anything special about their dance. My daughter called me and asked why they would choose Hip Hop with no lifts? I think this was a mistake. Brooke and Derek did have the best freestyle of the night, but not deserving of a perfect score. I do believe they will win the trophy. I have enjoyed their dances all season long but someone needs to bring Derek down to earth. Ego, oh my...is it an act? I love Kym and am happy she made it to the finals. Warren is OK. I will be shocked if they do win. I finally got through for Lancey but was able to place only three votes. Hmmm... I am another one that agrees that Lance and Lacey blew it with that awful freestyle.

I think she's been the best dancer this season. She's not the best dancer across the series, but I think she is definitely the best of the three. I don't Dialidol is accurate. For dancing with the stars it doesn't make as much sense to measure busy signals as it does the number of votes since voting is limited. According to the raw totals, Brooke has the most votes. I'm worried though because this season reminds me of season 2: 1.Drew = Lance (member of boy band) 2. Jerry = Warren (athlete) 3. Stacey = Brooke (attractive female best dancer).

Lacey, imo, has the best choreography this year and the hip hop routine was too bland. They shouldve gone for the wow like they usually do instead of technical. I actually liked Kym and Warrens freestyle the best. I didnt think Brooke was as good as usual tonight but will probably win it.

Sorry, but I thought it was really boring. I really thought they were gonna pull it out after last week. It's going to come down to Brooke and Warren. I'd be happy if either wins. Brooke was really good tonight. I mean <strong>really</strong> good. Those lifts were on fire! I loved their freestyle. Reminded me of Kristi's last season. Lots of difficult lifts, yet entertaining and fun to watch. But Warren went last, and man is he entertaining! That last dance was so much fun to watch. Even though I want Brooke to win, I couldn't help but root for Warren. I thought the judging was good all season long. They know who is technically doing well. Audience and fan reaction is a whole other thing. Good show tonight, and for once I thought the finalists didn't look too exhausted to dance! In my opinion, Lancey blew it with that awful freestyle.

It makes sense. The OTT scores are a way for the judges to level the playing field. Brooke was handicapped to start with - she didn't have the fan base and she's a woman. Historically, as we all know, women don't win. I REALLY wanted Mel B to win. That girl can dance and she deserved it but she didn't win. I like all three of the stars left. I'm having a hard time choosing. Warren is an adorable teddy bear and Kym has done a great job with him this season. I loved their freestyle tonight. Brooke is drop-dead gorgeous and she seems really grounded, too. I like that about her. Technically, she's the best dancer but she lacks a little something.

Still think they deserved some 10s for their tango and their mambo, my personal picks for best dances of the season, and didn't get them. And their rumba was close, too. Annoying, but that's DWTS. Sometimes there's little rhyme or reason to the judging. ANyway, Derek's a great choreographer and Warren's a lot of fun, so if Lancey don't take it, no biggie.
