Why not rename your show "Popularity Contest with some dancing"? Unless Donny would have fallen on his face every week, there was no way he would lose. I've given up on your show.

Besides, of all the performers I never once saw Donny argue with the judges, pout at their criticisms, or even disagree. The man was raised by a father with high expectations who taught him to do his best at all times, take criticism in the spirit in which it was intended and build on it. I think Donny did that better than anyone. And after some grating personality traits in the first show, he pulled it back and conducted himself admirably at all times -- no tantrumns, no pity parties -- just watch him when the judges give him his critiques. He agrees, he even exceeds their criticisms sometimes by being harder on himself than they are -- and he takes it all humbly and as a lesson to be built upon. That's worth a lot in character, if not in dance...

You should call the show the popularity show, not dancing. Gil was the winner, Mya is the winner and the rest is poplarity B. S., not Dancing!!

I have been watching this show all along, and loved it. I think I am done watching the show, since it has become a popularity contest. We have seen too many great dancers get voted off because of someone elses follwing. The show is suppose to award a trophy to the best dancer. They need to change the final three contest to a judges decision only, and until then I am finished watching a show, that is not true to the art of dancing. Mary

we all see that Mya was cheated out , its really by popularity not by performance

No pouting. Donny Rocks!!!!

Difference of opinion makes this county great.

The FIX was in! No way on god's green earth was the winner the best dancer.He had alot of push and bias from ET people. The judges also turn a blind eye when scoring all his misteps so highly.gimme a break!

The only true thing on this show is the costuming.

So it's okay when the judges give the person you want the 10s, but not so when you disagree. The reality is that Mya did not bring her A game to the finals. It doesn't matter that she danced the best all season -that's what got her to the end - just like Donny and Kelly (who was by far the worst dancer of the bunch, but so vulnerable and charming). By insisting that Mya was the best dancer is ignoring the fact that she wasn't the best performer in the finals. Her free-style was boring. Donny's lit up the room - doesn't matter if it wasn't technically perfect in every way - he got the crowd. As far as the selected dance - why on earth didn't she go with one of the dances that she copped a 30 on? Her disco number was dynamite and the Samba was right on. Instead she went with the Jive which was good, but not great. So she sabotaged herself. Donny and Kelly went with the dances that gave them their highest scores and could only improve or at least maintain their scores. I was moved by Donn
