Cristian and Cheryl - Scoring

9:03 PM

Carrie Ann gave them a 9, Len awards an 8 and gets boos, and Bruno gives them a 9.  Pretty good score, but they'll need a lot of votes to overcome The Guchi's commanding points lead.

UNFAIR KRISTI UNFAIR YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER JOINED THIS SHOW REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW TO DANCE YOU HAD UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

[conny]

overall scoring for season
Kristi 395
Jason 365
Cristain 353
She won by an entire dance!

[Nail in the Coffin]

That's it for that! We know that Kristi has it in the bag and doesn't deserve it at all. This is dumb and that show needs new judges! They latch onto one couple (Kristi and Mark) and make sure that they get to the finals. Kristi doesn't deserve that trophy, but she's going to get that anyways. But I guess that if you're not cheating than you're not trying!

[Julie]

Haha, wow, some people must feel threatened by Kristi if they're resorting to calling her a cheater.

[psmith]

Kristi should not have been on his show. She DOES have dance experience from skating. The producers were unfair in selecting her to be on the show. They should select celebraties with equal skills. Christian has my vote.

1. Skating as an individual is NOT dancing with a partner -- how many of you dancers out there can ice skate? It's a different technique.
2. The one advantage Kristi might have had is an incredible discipline. She has been incredible and has danced much harder choreography all season. If you truly are honest, the people making the splash with the guys are the professional women dancers -- they are doing most of the flashy and difficult work. The guys are often just holding them.
3. My vote is for Kristi and Mark. The guys are good, but she has brought it to a different level.

Kristi did not cheat! Shame on you! She didn't know how to dance. She knew how to learn and how to practice. That's how you win, and that's how she'll win this if there are enough people who know better than to call Kristi a cheater. A lady who knew how to skate, not ballroom dance, who overcame being born with club feet, does not have an unfair advantage. Shame on you!

[Responce to Julie]

I don't believe that she is a cheater, I'm just saying that she doesn't deserve that trophy at all and that the judges favor her.

[lmylinda]

Kristi did awesome! Ice dancing and floor dancing are worlds apart.

[Michele]

Hands down, Christian! With his injury it should have knocked him out of the competition. What a true winner and inspiration to all. I think he has already won no matter how the vote comes out. Way to go Christian & Cheryl.

Isn't that so funny Julie..,.they are sooooo jealous of our girl....delaburke was lousy at least Jason was better they should have given dela's scores to jason. The routine burke came up with was a little of everything from all....thinking that shaking the booty and that same lift would get it...but it's not over until burke has another drink...or two, they could still win it BUT for sure Kristi was the better person and dancer...

I do not call Kristi cheating but not what i personally watch for. I enjoy watching develope and improve. Carrie Ann, I turn off when she speaks about anyone. I guess when she lost to Bruno was too much.

As to Cristian, Cheryl was dancing around him. He lifted her up a few times, but I only saw him shaking his bum once. No real dancing going on. At least he'll get his surgery after Tuesday. He definitely earned the trophy for sheer stupidity, but I don't think that's the one they're handing out tomorrow.

what number should i use to vote for Cheryl & Christian?

[Figure Skater]

Anybody that can say that Kristi never knew how to dance,has NO clue what figure skating is.If you don,t take dance classes throughout your whole career,you can NEVER be a figure skater.
Totally unfair this competition!!!!!!!!!

[Paula]

I commend all dancers efforts and it has been really difficult for all three of them. Although they have grown through the season and are much better than when they started, I gotta give it to Cristian: when you take on a challenge, you don't stop until you give everything you've got. Regardless of Kristi being the most likely winner, Cristian gives us a lesson of perseverance and courage!

[Cali]

I think Cristian and Kristi outshined jason and edyta with the cha cha.
They were great.
I hope it's between kristi and cristian. I think he and cheryl can bring it on in the finals.

[Terri]

I have to say that you allt hat think Kristi cheated are crazy. You want to talk having previous experience. How about Mel B from last season and Mario this. They both have experience in dancing and I never heard anyone complaining then. Yes I think Kristi is great and came a long way. I also think that Christian got cheated byt the judges. He did a great job his dancing was great and to me that is what ballroom dancing is all about, hince the word Dancing. The lifts were great by all but the judges needed to look at the dancing as well and vote based on it and not the lifts. We all knew that whit his injury Christian wasn't going to be able to to as much. WTG Christian I applaud you for what you have done. You deffinalty have come a long way since day one. If they gave a trophy for that you would have it hands down

[Amy Miller]

I said ballroom dancing, not dancing in general, FS. I also saw her in practice at the beginning and I thought she stank. Explain that. If it's unfair that Kristi's a figure skater, it's unfair that Jason has strength training and can lift Edyta like a rag doll and it's unfair that Marissa was on Broadway. What's really unfair is that Cristian wouldn't have lasted without the sympathy vote that might have him unable to use his arm properly after waiting three weeks before having the surgery he needed.

[Jean]

I now believe this show is rigged and unfair. Christi is a professional and they all want a female to win. She should have excused herself when invited to be on the show. Both males did an excellent job and received lousy scores

[rach]

What's up with the whole "Latino Power"? Sorry, but if a white guy got up there and said "White Power" he'd be called a racist. Same thing if a black man said "Black Power" he'd be called the next Malcom X. And yet the whole audience cheered.

[jay]

what is it? A professionalo ICE DANCER gets to walk away with the award? What are you guys thinking? She has to be so much more upmanish than her non-ex[perierenced opponets. Your an Ice Skater, your all display and showmanship. not an athelete like you think, basketball, football, soccer, or wharever, your just a star on tv GIVE ME A BREAK.........

Kristi should drop out and let the one who had to work to get where this far go on and see who the realy winner is. The judges had their picks before the first dance. The producers really droped the ball this time as far picking Kristi, she is a professial dancer.....ice skater, whatever.
