Just want you to know, Mel, that IMHO, American HAS embraced you, and you were and ARE an amazing dancer!I feel you graced that stage like no other female contestant before you, and even though you didn't walk away with that (ugly) trophy, you still left us all with memories of a beautiful lady who not only entertained us, but overwhelmed us with some of the finest ballroom, latin, and free style we've seen in all the seasons of DWTS!
Hold your head up high, girl, you ARE perfection on that dance floor, and don't you forget that!
To Maxim: great choreography, great job at entertaining us, and working with Mel, and helping her to understand just what we all needed-a good laugh, a good lift of our spirits, and a whole lot of fun!
You two are the best!!!
