PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Does the popular vote determine the winner in the final 2?" |
Without even knowing who won the judges vote tonight (tivo), is it true that the winner of the popular vote automatically wins the finals? In reading how it works, it seems that the winner of the judge's votes get 2 points and the other gets one...and the winner of the popular vote gets 2 points and the other gets one. Also in case of a tie the winner of the popular vote wins. Could this be remotely possible? Wouldn't this mean that the judges scores are meaningless? Am I missing something? Also, if thats the case, since it is a fact that Jerry won the popular vote last 3 weeks leading up to the finals last year, wouldn't it stand to reason that another football player who is a much better dancer will easily get the fan support to win this?

> Wouldn't this mean that
>the judges scores are meaningless? Just like last week, yes. I was not surprised at all that
Emmett and Cheryl got a 9 and Mario and Karina got a 10 on
the last dance to tie it up.
It is the intention of the producers to put the results in
the hands of the telephone votes. They don't really care
who wins, as long as there is a record breaking amount of
calls so they can use it to sell advertising rates for next
season.
What, me cynical?

Cynical you might be, but the 2 of them are so close that the tie is fair. I thought the judges were a little too generous with the 10's, but a tie at 86-86 or 87-87 would have been spot on.

I couldn't agree more that the judges were tossing out 10's like Halloween candy. I know barely anything about dancing, and I saw a handful of "whoopsies" from both sides. IMHO, the difficulty and precision of Mario's routine outshined Emmitt's by far, but Emmitt's popularity will crown him I'm sure. Oh well.

Yep, I think Emmitt deserves to win though. Like babygirl said yesterday - "Mario might have dimples, but you have class."

Well, all I know is that Mario's phone lines were tied up most of the time I tried calling. What does that mean?? Diddly, I'm sure! LOL.I think it's going to be a surprise either way. I don't care if Daddy has class, Mario is definitely the true winner here. As the other poster said, he can do moves that Emmitt only dreams about! BUT, you have to consider the fact that there is at least a 15 year advantage for Mario, too. Having said that, I'll be happy for either of them. I think the show has been pretty fair all around. Unless, like John O'Hearly, one of them decides to challenge the votes, then I'll just have to put my fingers up to my forehead and say "LOSER"!!!

That was quite an insult. Ouch. Mario has more of a feminine body structure though, easier to move, oh, and it does help that he's had prior dance training.

>Mario, too. I think you're letting the facts that Emmitt is "retired" and Mario is best known for playing a high school kid really give you a false impression of their true ages. Emmitt was born May 15, 1969: http://www.realitytvworld.com/realitytvdb/emmitt-smith/person-864 Mario was born October 10, 1973:
http://www.realitytvworld.com/realitytvdb/mario-lopez/person-866 There's less than a 5 year difference between the two of them, never mind 15.
