I was surprised to see him win as I thought Mya was the better dancer but I’m happy he took the trophy. Actually, their scores don’t reflect actual opinion but how big a fan base they have. I’d like to see it judged by professionals but…I’m know they wouldn’t have the same viewership if people couldn’t call in and vote.
A guy on another site thought it entirely possible that the producers pick the winner each weel. He says they should tally the votes for each week so the viewers could see. Says that way it really would be a "dancing ability" test as opposed to a popularity test. IMO, that wouldn’t be any different because they could still manipulate the votes.
Either way, I don’t care. I just LOVE that show. BTW. wouldn’t you just love to see Gilles Marini on there? OMG! Imagine him doing the paso robles. Whew, I’ve got to get a bucket of cold water.
