Dancing with the Stars: Quick Thoughts on the Finale

I still can't decide who is worse — Penn Jillette or Monica Seles. (Wait, I just decided — it's Monica Seles.)

Usher's "Yeah" (second dance in that link) remix HAD to be the hot mess of the night. It was sort of terrible, sort of compelling (especially watching him sing live only approximately 35% of the song), and sort of cool that he actually took the time to choreograph something specifically for the finals.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. Mario's mambo (second dance in that link)deserved a 30 the first time around, and it deserved a 30 last night. Also, Mario deserved a spot in the top 3 (sorry, Cristian).

What the hell is up with Shannon Elizabeth?

The "bromance" video package with Jason and Cristian was the funniest thing about last night.

The judges had already decided to give Kristi (and Jason) 30s before they started dancing. How else to completely disregard the fact that Kristi made a mistake Mario's mentor Stevie Wonder could've seen? So if the 30s were pre-planned, what was the point of building up their final dance and having them go again (other than to have Jason say "Kristi, it DOES feel good!"

Finally, I was wrong. Congrats Kristi!
