Dancing with the Stars Season 8 Finale: Results

Posted By: admin On: May 20, 2009 Comments: ( 4 )

Lady Gaga starts us off with “Just Dance” tonight. I can’t say I like Lady Gaga’s outfit - more like Lady GAG! She’s got one leg cut out of a leather body suit which is just hideous along with her mullet hair. That’s over with and Tom and Samantha are in the center of the dance floor. Samantha’s dress is very poofy and I kind of like it. The only thing I don’t like is the print. Now we get a recap after we just had a recap show. The judges agree that this is the best season ever and think they’ve got the best three dancers in the finals - anything can happen according to Len. Each finalist will hit the floor one last time for the judges vote. Also, this just in, Jeffrey Ross is back to roast the stars which should be fun. He did that last year. Go Jeff! I think he’s a good guy - not a good dancer, but good guy.

Now we get highlights from the first three weeks of the season. Seeing Melissa replace Nancy O’dell - I wonder now if Nancy would be in the finals? Something tells me No. LOL! Melissa was the perfect replacement for Tony. With these recaps we get the actual dancers back to show us how bad they really were. Belinda Carlisle is up first. Bad Bad BAD! Denise Richards is next and they dance the Quickstep. She only gets two Bads: Bad BAD! Now Holly Madison with what looks like longer, white hair extensions. Dmitry got his hair cut - more clean cut now. I don’t care! Samantha interviews them all. Tom plugs Samantha being on Broadway - and she acts like she didn’t have a clue he was going to do that. Whatever! She probably wrote it in to toot her own horn.

Now we are seeing highlights from Steve Woz.’s time on Dancing - and I don’t get why we are watching this again. I guess it was a highlight of the show or something. *shrugs*Annnnd he’s back dancing his Quickstep with the pink boa. He didn’t do too bad for an old big boned nerd. He was dared to do the worm again and he didn’t have a clue how to do it anymore. EMBARRASSING! David Allan Grier is back and I’m fast forwarding to get this show on the road. I am not live so I can do that. Now Steve-O is doing his number and I will watch b/c I miss Steve-O. He did a nice leap in the air and almost bit it and falling into the steps again - yet he was a little further away than last time, but I thought that was funny. He did good though. David made a funny stating his favorite friends on the show were the three judges stating they text him all the time. LOL! Steve-O said if he would have just done that dance like he just did the first time that the trophy might just be his. LOL!

Former Dancing stars come back to weigh in on each of the three finalists. The most noteworthy one is Vivica A. Fox stating she’d like to scoop Gilles up on a chip. LOL! Of course Tony Dovolani’s former partners think it is his time to take the trophy.  Lots of other filler stuff, ya know.

Now we get to find out who will be our newest professional dancer for next season as Anna and Mayo face off. Who will be the new pro? Will Len show his bum in the supermarket? I hope not!  Anna is the winner. Go Anna! Poor Mayo - I’m sure we’ll see him again though. No bum baring for Len. Maks and Anna dance the Quickstep again. I really liked this one.

Lawrence Taylor is back. Tom was poking fun at him that he was so quick to leave the show for his golf game. LOL! He is doing his jive. I find it funny that they come back and do the dance that kicked them off the show. Funny stuff. Dancing their Samba are Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough. I am multi-tasking tonight b/c not only am I watching DWTS and blogging, but I’m also voting for Kris Allen on American Idol. I can barely get through so I’m not too happy about not getting that many votes in for him. I guess I’ll keep trying. Samantha is stammering with Julianne and Chuck and Tom has to interrupt to get her back on track. AWKWARD!

Jeff Ross is roasting the final 3. He makes fun of Tom comparing him to Ryan Seacrest. He makes fun of of the judges calling them “Smokin” “Croakin” and “Flamin”. I’ll leave it up to you to decide which ones those go with - but I’ll give you a hint that it does go in order with how they are sitting. LMAO! Jeff said no stars actually made it to the finale. The audience booed. Heck, this is all in fun, crowd.  He said Lil’ Kim was just here for community service and he bet it was hard doing the Cha Cha Cha with a bullet proof vest and made fun of Ty for doing the Brokeback Mambo. Poor Ty! He asked if Steve took a bite out of the Apple logo and said he looks like a chipmunk stating he ate Simon and Theodore. Steve just cackled and looked embarrassed. I felt bad for Steve. Jeff said Belinda was dressed like a hooker from Battle Star Galatica. He said Gilles had the largest part in Sex in the City referring to his private parts. LOL! He said Shawn was too short to ride space mountain at Disney. Jeff asks if he could marry Melissa and said wouldn’t it be a shame if she came in second on this show too. I don’t think Melissa liked that too well and I’m positive by looking at Tony’s face that he didn’t either. She did laugh at the end so I think she took it well. Everyone clapped. I noticed that Jeff didn’t make fun of David Alan Grier. Hmmm…

Lil’ Kim and Derek Hough are now doing their thing - to Jailhouse Rock. Tom thought Lil’ Kim would be in the finals tonight. Tom usually doesn’t take sides so it is good to see who he likes. Also back are Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower doing the Lindy Hop. Now we get all three finalists talking smack and how the trophy is theirs. Yeah yeah - let’s get this show on the road, plz.

Our three finalists are now making their way to the stage. They are wearing costumes we’ve already seen b/c they’ve picked a dance they’ve already done to see if they can get all perfect 10’s from the judges this time around. First up is Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas. We get to see their first meeting and their journey so far. They dance their Cha Cha Cha to Pretty Young Thing by Michael Jackson. Let’s just enjoy and watch…no typing. LOL! I loved it even more this time around. Great Job, Shawn and Mark!! Len said the longer she goes the stronger she gets. He loved her performance tonight. Bruno said she is getting hot - sassy and sexy. Great technique. Carrie Ann said everyone underestimated her - she powered her way right through the top and she deserves to be right where she is. I smell all 10’s. Scores were all 10’s for a perfect 30. Way to go!!

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani are up next doing their Samba. This is the one with Melissa’s solo in the beginning. So sexy! They end with Melissa up on the judges table and Tony joining her - but he kisses Bruno instead of Melissa. ha! Bet Bruno LOVED that. Bruno said she is even more appetizing for a second helping and he wants thirds, fouths and fifths. Carrie Ann called her Tony’s muse and how far she’s come. Len loved her presence - style and elegance. I smell all 10’s again. And, I was right. A perfect 30.

Finally is Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke dancing their Argentine Tango. I remember this one - super sexy!! Loved this one. Let’s sit back and enjoy one last time, shall we? Loved it again! Nice intricate footwork. So sexy! Gilles looks teary eyed. Carrie Ann called him a very special performer - stating he brings amazing artistry to his dances that set him apart. Len said Gilles has brought him the most pleasure to watch. Bruno called it an Argentine triumph - said he had perfect character and a star is born. Gilles looks emotional. More 10’s for a perfect 30 score.

Lady Gaga is back  singing “Love game” where she sings “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” and I thought this was a family show? Guess not.  She removed her mullet and she has both legs to her onesie hot pink glittery outfit.

Well now we hear who is in third place. Tony SOOOO wants to win it. I can feel it in me bones. LOL! Anyways the couple coming in third is: Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani. Awww, poor Tony. Everyone is on their feet. Melissa told Samantha at break that she doesn’t care if she wins - she is just glad to be there. Dang - I so wanted this for Tony, but he always has next year. He gave his best - maybe he will do less tricks in the freestyle next time, I don’t know. LOL!

Tom said this this is the closest vote ever and there was a less than 1% difference. Dang! Cheryl is going for her third win and Mark is going for his second.  The Champions of Dancing with the Stars Season 8 is Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas. Mark is SHOCKED!! Shawn screamed a little scream. Cheryl and Gilles clap in happiness for them. Mark is covering his mouth in shock not knowing what to say! Gilles says he is so happy for Shawn and Mark and thanked all the fans, his wife, and all the people that helped also stating Cheryl is one of the best things in his life.  Lacey came out and is screaming for Shawn like a little kid.  Shawn is up on Chuck Wick’s shoulders and Mark is on Derek’s. Shawn holds the trophy proudly. Go SHAWN!!!

It’s been a great season and I am sad to see it ending. Be sure to tune back in to starsdancingontv.com during the off season to always have up to date news on all you stars.
