People who think the “best dancer” should win DWTS don’t know how the show works. It is the dancer with the largest voting fan base who typically wins, and that includes the fans of the professional dancer. Judges scores generally end up with on a few % points difference between the top three so a few% in fan vote tips the scale. Look at the demographics for this show … do they include Mya’s fan base? No, it’s more likely to be women between the age of 40 and 65 …DONNY’s fan base. We grew up with him. He’s part of our generation. He’s 51 … and did an AMAZING job for a 51 year old. Yes, he has lots of entertainment experience … but he’s not exactly a ballroom dancer. This is harder than it looks … and he worked very hard, was very committed to being the best, and I am glad he won. Not taking away anything from Mya and Kelly — they were also terrific. Mya was definitely the best dancer … but her fan base probably does not watch the show or vote. And of course, she has dance experience, too.

I think its totally ignorance to think Donny was making a point to “rub Marie’s face” in his win. He was a sibling wanting to have his family share in the moment. He not only brought Marie, but his wife and kids. I can’t see this being a negative thing, but a family celebrating what one of their own had accomplished.

the last two proformances that Donny put on were above all the others. He peaked while the others did not. Kelly was much better than the hip swinging sex pot that dominated the weekly shows but when the pressure was on she could not do it. Donny proformed as a gentleman, looked like a gentleman and did not have to lower his moral standards. He is what we need more of, no open shirts to ad to sex, just puregood showmanship. He is great. We need more like him. Remember he not a kid, but he could hold his own through hard work. Sing on into the night in Vegas and show up the next day to learn more ballroom steps that he had never done before.He is a WINNER.
