The last dance for Marlee and Fabian
10:00
Marlee and Fabian both have kind words for the judges and each other. Tom steps out of host mode and tells Marlee how proud he is of her, which was sweet.
Then, the final dance, as the band plays "Dust in the Wind." They get kind of cheeky with their last dance music selections, don't they? I'm waiting for them to play "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" one night.
Adios, Marlee! You really classed up the competition and were very inspiring to a lot of people.



Marlee & Fabian...you're gonna be missed big time!! So sorry to see you go as you've made DWTS such fun.

Marlee, you are simply amazing. I can hear perfectly and can't dance a beat! You classed up the show and were spicy, sexy and super-inspirational. I'm so sorry to see you go. But, no matter what you do, you'll be a star. Kudos!

Marlee, you are an inspiration for all of us, deaf or hearing. You're movie Sweet Nothings was amazing the other night, your dancing is inspirational and your smoking HOT on the "L WORD"! You are a true hero in my eyes and an amazing accomplished woman who has grasped the hearts of many in so many different ways. You are a one of a kind woman!!

Marlee, you have been such an inspiration to myself, and so many others watching. Not only have you shown us your fearlessness, but you have proven how very talented and special you are!

I agree with all the above. I knew that Marlee's time was coming, but it's sad to see her go. Not only because she is an inspiration, but also because she has such a great persoality. I hope she finds some way to carry this inspiration on in another format or venue. The world could use more people like Marlee!

If only Shannon and Derek had the class of Marlee and Fabian.

I am so disappointed in Dancing with the Stars so disappointed that I don't think I will be participating anymore not that anyone cares but...I think it's so unfair to have someone like Kristi or Maroi on they are coordinated above and beyond the others and I loved the show when they transformed people from having no dance skills into wonderful dancers. Kristi has won a million times "dancing on skates" Not fair to the others at all. Very unfair...

Shannon you have an opportunity to win this if you want it bad enough. With that being said you need some help with your "hips". Your hips are stiff. Here's who can help... find a Latina or an African American female to teach you how to move your hips while you're dancing and you'll be pleased with the judges comments. Luv ya girl!

Regardless of what anyone thought about her technical competence, I can't imagine anyone is happy to see Marlee go. She was an incredible dancer. I have no idea how she did as well as she did, but she serves as an inspiration to everyone who has hearing problems. She got to the SIXTH week of competition! She did far better than anyone logically could have said she could. I hope she uses the skills she learned, and the talent she uncovered, in future projects.

Marlee is a fantastic dancer. I have almost perfect hearing and I have no concept of what it is like to try to dance by just feeling the music through my feet in spiked heels. She has grace and poise that has no comparison in this group of dancers. I will miss watching her prove that "If I put my mind to it, I can do it" Sure would like to meet her.

Marlee I give you many kudos I am hard of hearing and for you to dance without being able to hear the music and only feeling the beat is truly mind blowing to me. Your dancing is awesome I would like to see the judges try and dance without hearing the music and see how they dance! You are an inspiration to me and many others.

I was saddened to see Marlee leave the competition... amazing to see how anything is possible despite adversity. Kudos Marlee!!! Must add though, that the song chosen for them to do their last dance was done in such poor taste to them or to any other competitor for that matter. "Dust in the wind???"

Marlee - what an inspiration you are!!!
I felt you did a wonderful job and that the judges were too hard on you. They said that wouldn't give you special consideration, however, I felt they did knit-pick on your performances and that were not consistent with their earlier comments on how you did. Good luck in all your future endeavors

Marlee n Favian you two did great Congrats. Oh Marlee keep up the good work on The L Word ur Awesome!

Okay! I have been a DWTS fan from the beginning... BUT and I mean a BIG BUT... What is up with having stars come on the show that already have learned a routine to some form of dancing. This is supposed to be about a star who can rise to the occasion and show how far they can come. If we are watching people roll out on the floor like pro's already, that means it isn't a competition and it becomes a simple show-off, talk about giving the other stars a complex, they can't compete with that. Maybe they just couldn't find stars and they took what they could get for this season. I have to watch I can't help it because I am a true fan. I have seen some serious growth from other stars and they get really brought down by the judges because they compare them to a star who already had the knack with dancing. So get real and get with it DWTS, your fans are clearly dissapointed.
