Looked to me as though she came from outer space! You are right about the Olympic champions - they know how to turn it on (Kristie, Apolo ) and didn't Apolo tell Shawn that all the Olympians in the final won the championship. In my humble opinion this was anybody's ball game. Either one of the two finalists could and should have won. Maybe to satisfy the unsatisfied they can have a dance off, a la Kelly Monaco.

They announced last night that this was the closest margin of victory in 8 season (less than 1% or something like that). The best dancer doesn't always win, but it plays a role. Shawn and Gilles were tied last night in terms of scores so this season it was all up to the fans. But judging counts - otherwise Marie Osmond would have won a few seasons ago because of her fan support. Definitely not the best dancer, but one of the most popular when she was on the show.

That isn't fair at all. He deserves a throphy to just like Shawn. From day one to now, no other couldn't complete with him. He was the most tremendous thing happen to this show from all seasons I have seen. Judges you all need to start judgeing for yourself and stop lettting fans vote cause they cheat. You all sure that results was counted right? I don't think so. That results should be checked over. I want to see Gilles Marini back in season nine with same partner Cheryl Burke. This is not the first time this happen. Mel B was suppose to won just like Lalia Alley. Lil Kim was suppose to be in finals and not Melissa. If Cheryl will be back in season nine I hope she gets someone really good. After all Gilles and cheryl reached so far this was very disappointed and very embarrassed to be watched on national television. Cheryl Burke is absouletly my favourite professional dancer.

Gilles was so much better than Shawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is adorable and technically great but has no passion, most of the time just robotic performances. He started virtually unknown with absolutely no physical training edge, no dance, no gymnastics, no ballet, and he became as amazing to watch as some of the pros. I guess it just goes to show that it is truly a popularity contest and definitely not based on who is overall the best dancer (which has obviously been proven in past seasons). So sad :-( Well at least we got to watch Gilles to the very end. I can’t believe how very disappointed I truly am :-( This was actually the first time I ever voted for anyone on any show.
