This is it the big kauna, the finale show with Mel B., Helio Castroneves, and the dark horse Marie Osmond, no telling who will win. Could it be a big Osmond upset or my favorite Helio or maybe Scary Spice can actually pull it off. We’ll see. First impression, Marie looks like a banana, Mel B is all boobage and Helio and Julianne look adorable in sock hop outfits. Speaking of all boobs, whoa Samantha Harris!!

Mel B. and Maksim are up first as always she has a lot to live up to. They are doing their freestyle dance, with some hip hop help from Spice dancer guys. They are going to do the judges pick Cha Cha Cha first to see if they have improved since their first dance, ummm yeah they have. Mel B. starts the dance by jumping on the lap of her husband in the audience, very cute. This is so fabulous, Mel can really shake it and she looks amazing, I love that the whole Spice rack is there cheering her on. Len loved it, Bruno loved it, Carrie wanted more excitement, I can see that. Two 9’s and a 10 from Bruno, love that Bruno!!

The spoiler Marie Osmond is back, despite as Tom Bergeron noted, never topping the leader board. They are practicing lifts for their freestyle dance, It looks like Jonathan is going to get a hernia!! Then they are spying on Helio and Julianne-CHEEEZY!!. They are doing the Samba first in the judges round. This is the normal Osmond Schtick, not great, not even in the same league as her competitors. It just shows what a showbiz force she is that she could even be here tonight. Ugh. Bruno said technically it was not great but she is a great entertainer, Carrie and Len agreed. OK, she’s fun but she really is not a great dancer, good thing this is not a dance competition. Oh no, she designed the freestyle costume after those horrible shopping channel dolls, I need to puke. Straight 8’s, probably better than they deserved.

Up third is my new boyfriend Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough. They are doing the Jive as their judges pick. I can’t wait. Julianne points out that Helio is at a disadvantage because he has to do all of the lifting, it helps that Julianne weighs about 85 lbs. Helio said he was taking the ladies down, he is adorable. Oh my god, could they be any cuter, I think this choreography is the best of the season!!! I love it, I love all of it-they should totally win!! Standing ovation, YAY YAY YAY!!! Carrie can’t even speak over all of the yelling, it was great!! Carrie, complained about footwork, so did Len he even called it a disappointment. Bruno said the footwork was not good enough, but the performance was great, I’m hoping for 9’s, I think they should get 10’s though! Two 8’s and a 9 from Bruno, no way was Helio equal to Marie, that is just crazy talk.

First for the freestyle round is Mel B. and Maksim. Mel has on a black dress thing, that looks like it will go away at some point. I’m right. I’m sorry to say it and maybe it is the music, but I am not impressed with this dance at all. It is too slow, too boring, I was hoping for a lot more from them. I kept waiting for excitement and it just was not there. Carrie agreed and called out the Spice Girls for booing her, loved that. Len liked it but thought it was a bit off. Bruno thought it was a good job, which is not a great compliment, I’m thinking 9’s again for them. I’m right three 9’s, could have been worse. Samantha said the judges were grumpy, I agree.

Marie and Jonathan are next. Jonathan carries Marie out and winds her up like a doll, it is really cheesy. Yeah, the doll thing got old quick and Marie did more acting than dancing. It stunk. Len said that it did not work. Bruno said it was the loopiest thing he had ever seen and it defied criticism. Carrie agreed with the guys that it was an odd choice. HATED IT!! Marie said she did it for her crazy doll collector fans, yuck. Two 7’s and an 8 from Carrie, I hope she comes in third.

Helio & Julianne are in race car driver outfits, is there no end to this cheesiness??? YES! FABULOUS!! Great lifts, super awesome choreography. All of it was great, miles ahead of everyone else in the competition. Another standing ovation. Helio and Julianne have to win this. Bruno talks about how difficult the lifts they did are. Carrie claims they were a little rough coming out of the lifts-whatever. Len said it was the best freestyle of the night by a mile, I expect a couple of 10’s here!! 9 from Carrie and 10’s from the boys, the crowd goes wild and I do too!!!!! Tom said Helio looked like a Brazilian Power Ranger, he is soooo funny.

I think Helio Castroneves has this in the bag and Marie Osmond should be out first. Keep your fingers crossed.

PS: This is Alyssa - and her electronics were being worked on today by some idiot MoFO’s who forgot to plug in their sattelite which means my TV didn’t tape the finale. Yep, no commentary from Alyssa tonight because I’m searching high and low for the episode to watch tonight. If anyone knows of a place where I can see a recording before tomorrow, please notify me immediately by commenting below. Thanks!
