Mario and Karina's mambo

10:10 PM

Caliente!  Mario heats up the dance floor with lots of hip action and twirls.  How is it they didn't make it to the semi-finals at least?  They're incredible - Mario's a great dancer.

I agree. I really can't believe how the judging has gone this season.

I agree! How did they not make it to the finals!!!??? They are so much better! And he is cute and hot and can move than well on the dance floor that leave the imagination open for other places!

[Karey]

I fully agree with Deb...Mario leaves the imagination wide open and should have been dancing tonight in the finals!

Just another sad example of small fan base!
Plus, for some known reason to me, many people do not like Karina and make a point of not vote for her, no matter how great her partner may be.
I do not understand that! I think she is just as good, if not better, than the other Pros.
Too bad -- both Karina and Mario were excellent.

Mario was great! Why didn't the host interview him. The show didn't give Mario his due.

I think that most people aren't crazy about Karina. She has an edgier personality than Julianne or Cheryl. I know we vote for the celebrities, but the pros are a factor too.

I think Mario should have been in the finals, too, hand's down, but I loved seeing him again tonight, anyway. What I want to know is, why didn't they interview Mario and Karina after their dance tonight as they did with every single other couple? Whether they like/don't like Karina, fair is fair, don't you think?

I think it was unfair to not interview Mario and Karina. Why were they left out?

Perhaps Karina is still be viewed and judged in terms of what was characterized as "pouting" brazenly and openly when Mario Lopez loss to Emmet Smith a couple of seasons ago. Many thought her actions unprofessional in terms of the negative attitude re: the loss as well as her seemingly obvious and blatent attraction to Lopez.

I'm so glad to see that others noticed the blatant diss of Mario after he danced during the finals. Instead of interviewing him, they cut to the 3 ex-champs. That couldn't wait?!? Throughout the season, I came to love Mario's upbeat personality, fantastic dancing, and graciousness, even as Len bashed him unmercifully. I plan to follow Mario's career from here on. He made a 55-year old white woman a huge fan!!

They should have been in the semi-finals instead of Marissa and Tony. Also, Karina and Mario Lopez should have won instead of Emmitt and Cheryl. Emmitt wasn't as good a dancer as Mario Lopez.

You people are all cuckoo. Who realy cares if they didn't get interviewed? What's the big deal? I, for one, think Mario is a terrible dancer and is extremely ugly with his large nostrils. How he got in the competition is beyond me. I hate Mario! Down with Mario! He sucks!

[christina]

It was awesome!

[sharon smith]
