Their final competetive dance of the season nets them a perfect score - straight tens.  That brings their total score for this week to 90, which must be a first. 

The judges' scores from tonight and last night make up 50% of this week's total score, the rest being made up of viewer votes.

I feel good, like I knew that I would..............whoo hoo for Kristi and Mark.

I'm Absolutely disgusted that one of your top dancers would use tonights exquisite dancing as a forum for politics! Latino Power! I won't watch the show again. How about thank you, Dancing with Stars, or Thank you USA for the opportunity to present my best skills.
How about...you are not welcome to come back. This is about Dancing, we see enough politics.

Kristi has dance experience. The show let her compete because they wanted a female winner.

I feel Kristi's considerable skill and experience with ice dancing gave her an unfair advantage in the competition. Jason got no breaks because of his size and Christian got no breaks due to his injury, so why wasn't Kristi's prior dance expertise taken into account? I hope that future contestant selections will represent a level playing field.

[Happy Mom]

For crying out loud, for the last time, Kristi was a FIGURE SKATER, not an ice dancer! Look at a few videos on Youtube to see the difference. Why do people always put Kristi down? She has worked so hard to win this competition. Furthermore, in past competitions, there were many DANCERS with professional DANCING experience and years of training, but NOT IN BALLROOM. So, were there this many cries of foul play then?

Kristi won fair and square. Doing a double axel on one blade on ice is alot different then doing ballroom dancing in high heels. If you say she has an unfair advantage then all contestants do in a way. Actors take direction and love an audience broadway show stars sing and dance and know how to entertain. If Jason was good enough he would have won, Emmitt Smith did as a football player. Kristi was amazing and never ballroom danced so lighten up.

I can't believe that they put a skater/dancer...and expect it to be fair....of course the skater will win...what a cheat...

They didn't let her on so a girl could win!! The judges like boy dancers better and you know that!!! They let Sabrina who was awesome!! and A bunch of other awesome girl dancers and they didn't win!!!!! GO KRISTI!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Kristi and Mark.

Though Kristi is a champ I thought that her last dance was not deserving of perfect 10s She missed a step, she seemed clumsy and she was out of balance at the end. I really lost respect for judges for giving her perfect 10s on the final dance.

[Chris and Marsha]

Kristy was a Stumbler through the whole competition and the Judges did'nt see it most of the time and then Praised her for her Mistakes.

The Judges have have some issues and should have scored others better and taken the observations of Derik Hough and Observed Kristy's Footwork Problems.

[Rachel]

Oh yeah. If Kristi was a figure skater and she won, you really think that's not fair? Fine. Last season, Apollo won and he was also an olympic champion... Who cares if it's fair. At least there's something to enjoy and watch. The judges can't always be perfect. Also, the last dance, everybody was suppose to receive a 30. Wells, to me that's more fair. The judges helped her with her mistake. You should feel how Kristi feels... Getting ranked with a professional in emotions and everything else. Everybody else isn't even ranked or balanced like how Kristi is. Kristi's footwork doesn't have a problem because even the professional judge - Len didn't see a problem. You sure there was a problem? Oh god... This show is just gonna be useless if people think there are these random issues of people.

CONGRATS TO MARK & KRISTY
