SPOILERS!!! DWTS Season 13 – AND THE WINNER IS…
White space for those who might not want to know until later….you know retweets often put the first sentence in the tweet and it’s only polite to try to avoid that.
The Winner is: JR AND KARINA!!! Congratulations!!
Second place – Rob and Cheryl.
Third place – Ricki and Derek
I will say, this was a pretty enjoyable final – and leave the rest for the Cheesecake Awards. 
Carson is my favorite non-final three person. Ok, had to share that. and I’ll say that Mark and Derek don’t discriminate – they are going to hoist the winners, regardless. Good boys.
DON’T FORGET!!! We dont go anywhere in the off season. Vogue will still be posting random media, all of us will be watching for rumors, I’m still working on my ringer series, and the series on the history of judges scoring. Courtney has several things up her sleeve….and most of all, we have the final LoLz and Cheesecake coming up late this week early next week. Be sure to come by and hang out!!
I will be relaxing for a few days, but the cheese and lolz are coming soon. In the meantime…HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
can you tell me what the name of the song everyone came out and danced to in the beginning of the show..something like the best one yet..also the show ended with the same song..thank you
Yay!!! Good job, JR!!! You and Karina really deserved the win!
Congratulations J.R & Karina but, I was soooo going for Rob, he danced his butt off and he deserved it! And did somone in the audience yell for Carson to#@&* himself. That’s not cool. He’s just being himself. And he’s a ball of laughs…
thanks guys! I gotta say, I was pretty shocked and disappointed when Ricki and Derek got third..I was counting on the idea that they would at least get second. But, I was happy that it was J.R that won. He certainly did not peak at the right time, but he always entertained. And, I have a bit of a girl crush on Karina..at least her looks haha, so good on her!
ok, yes! And I know Courtney kept reassuring me, but I was nervous anyway.
this was the order I said a few days ago, but I sweated it just the same. It is so nice to see Karina get her first mirror ball too!
Rob gets a huge honourable mention for being “best improved” and he kept up to the leader in the last couple of weeks. He has much to be proud of.
On a side note, what is with these hats the guys are wearing these days in rehearsals? I went to a new hairstylist today (and not that you care since none of you have ever seen me, but I went from blonde to a redhead today. I scare myself every time I look in the mirror), and he was wear one. He calls them a hair sock. And says they are for men’s bad hair days. I think they’re ugly myself.
Thanks for everything this season, gang! Kudos to John, Courtney, Heidi and Vogue for keeping this place civilized for the most part when all hell was breaking loose. *g* And much love for the new servers!!!
Congrats to JR and Karina (never thought I’d be happy for Karina. *LOL*)!! They deserve it!
And in retrospect, not a ringer in the season 13 bunch!
Cheers, folks!!!
Courtney and I have a new slogan. Ask her what it is. Go on, ask her.
Wooohooo! So happy for Karina! And so, so happy for JR!! What an inspiring, amazing person he is. And I loved that his mom was out there with him at the end – so sweet. Season 13 has been, hands down, one of my all-time favorites.
I’m dying’ here. Totally slap happy. Must sleep. I apologize in advance to anyone who has to wait for comment approval.
Also, how fantastic was Chynna’s Mission Impossible dance? What a shame we didn’t get to see it on movie theme night. I wonder if the finals would have been any different if she hadn’t blanked.
I had a thought. It seemed to me that Lady Antebellum was somewhat … extraneous tonight. With all the fun dances and ‘special guests’, did we really need a musical guest? I really, really enjoyed the contestants and troupe/pro dances. Just musing.
Happy Thanksgiving my American friends!!
Wow, what a fantastic show. I will put money on it that Derek is nominated for an Emmy as well. Every one of these finalists are winners tonight!! Phenomenal Finale!!
Ok, I’ll bite. What’s your new slogan?
And thank you all for what you do here at PureDWTS. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I’m sure it will be mentioned in the cheesecake awards, but David trying to run off with the MBT was hilarious. And so was Tom’s response.
Congratulations to J.R. and Karina – they deserved it. (as much as Ricki and Derek deserved 2nd place – their tango tonight was amazing)
And Derek hoisting J.R. up on his shoulders just shows what a class act he is and how good friends they have become this season.
Question: Did Maks congratulate Karina? I didn’t see him, but I was looking more at J.R. than Karina to be honest, so maybe I just missed it.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I”m soooooooooooooooooooo happy JR and Karina won. He deserved the win the most and I’m glad Karina finally got a MBT too. From what I’ve seen/heard she seems nice.
Yay! to JR and Karina. The right guy won. Happy that Karina finally has a mirror ball.
Sucks that Rob came in 2nd, but the judges set that one all up. Carrie Ann probably wanted him to be ranked first in the favorite dance.
Sucks that Ricki and Derek came in 3rd, but the judges also set that one up. They were classy and gracious in defeat.
Evaine and Marlene, thanks for the holiday wishes and for all of your nice comments too!xxx
I am soooo happy that JR and Karina won!! He is just an amazing person all around and Karina… I am like in love with her now! LOL… well, I love her after Derek!!!! She’s my female Derek now.. lol!
Whoaa, dwts season 13 has been fantastic. Congratulations to JR & Karina & to all the contestants who are so very supportive & appreciative to each other!!
I’m surely going to miss the fun & excitement brought by this season. Of course, I will definitely miss Team MacGrace for sure!! hohohoho ;(
Especial thanks to John, Courtney, Heidi and Vogue!! =)
Loved seeing all the love and joy in the room tonight. All 3 finalists and their partners showed their love for dancing and each other and it was great!
Congrats JR and Karina….so glad she got her first trophy and he did a great job all season and I love his attitude toward life!
Congrats to Rob for turning his dancing and attitude around to be something great!
Congrats to Ricki for a solid season with lots of great moments. Wish she was second but soooo glad she went out with a first place in the repeat dance round, most definitely deserved IMO!!
What a great ending to Season 13!
A standing “O” & a “30″ to the PureDWTS team for all that you do to run this amazing site!
I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday.
Congrats JR and Karina! Deserved for many reasons! Congrats to Rob and Ricki as well. They fought the good fight. It was going to be next to impossible to beat JR for many different reasons but they each put up a great fight. Very happy for Karina. Now let’s get Anna, Lacey, or Maks a ringer!
After seeing Chynna and Tony’s MI tango I must say I…feel…devastated! It was great! I had to watch Hope and Nancy all season and miss out on more of that? Boo America.
Thanks for always keeping us well informed! here’s to next season!
Congrats to all of the finalist, especially Karina on her first MBT! To be completely honest, as soon as they announced the winner all I could think was ” okay where’s Derek?…Derek and Mark are always the first to run out and lift the winners”. Sure enough
Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one to notice ! Also, thank you to the writers at Pure DWTS for always keeping everyone informed!
I loved the song DWTS picked for the Finale intro – it really was the best season ever, in my opinion.
I’m really disappointed that Ricki and Derek did not get 2nd place. They worked hard and well all season. But, then, looking at the montage, and thinking of all the memorable dances, it hit me that they really had already won – even without the MBT, they accomplished more than the MBT could replace. I saw how much Ricki and Derek truly love and respect one another as people – not for their celebrity status. That was touching.
Watching that brought tears, and I was starting to feel a little better about it all, and then…..SPIN-A-STAR HAPPENED! And then I cheered, feeling happy and satisfied. Who else but Derek would think to do that as a send off?! =) Team D-Rickilous went out with a bang, and a perfect score at the top of the leaderboard. Can’t be disappointed with that.
And then what warmed me was seeing how much love there is among all of the Final 3 teams – the whole cast, really. That is what makes this the best Finale ever – it really was a Celebration of dance, more than a competition.
THANK YOU, PURE DWTS Gang, for giving us sound information, interesting thought topics, and a forum to express ourselves and share our love for dance and DWTS – THE Best show in America!!! Thank you so much for all the hard work and time you put in for the reader’s benefit.
Huge thanks to Courtney, Heidi, Vogue and John for making this wonderful place for us – can only imagine how much work it is for you, but I know for a fact how much better it makes the entire DWTS season for me. 10′s all around!
You guys are all so sweet! Thanks for all the wonderful comments and we thank you loads too!! And as Heidi said, stick around. Lots more to come…even in the off season!!!
I’m very happy for JR and Karina. I do wish (and think they deserved to) Ricki and Derek had finished second. To be honest, I think if Rob hadn’t been a Kardashian, I’d have been happy to see someone who had improved so much go as far. But 1) Ricki was plain and simply better than Rob, 2) Rob was frequently overscored, and 3) he has absolutely no claim on “star” status. Heck, I didn’t even know there WAS a male Kardashian until he got cast in this show. Then again, I try to avoid all things Kardashian, since I’m not a fan of the “famous for being famous” brand of fame. Still, I have to give him props for growing so much as a dancer and, seemingly, growing up a little as well. (It’s interesting how often that happens to the younger men on this show.) But my favorite part of the evening was watching all the previous contestants get to dance and really seize the opportunity. In the past, some of the earlier contestants got only a few bars to dance, but this time, everyone got a good chunk of time. I liked that they didn’t all stick with things they’d already done. They challenged themselves to prepare a new dance, which was terrific. Even Ron/Metta looked as though he’d spent some time polishing his dance, and it was wonderful to see Chynna show us what she could have done with that dance. So everyone really got a chance to shine tonight. I also liked hearing that Chaz was around for the rest of the run, even though we never saw him in the audience. They say every season that the cast really bonded, but this season it really appears to be true. Very nice.
Correction: My favorite moment was when I could cheer for JR and Karina hoisting the mirror ball. The other contestants being given the opportunity to strut their stuff and doing it well was the aspect of the show that I most enjoyed.
I liked this season. The right people made it to the final 3. I completely expected Rob to pass Ricki if he lasted long enough, because he was improving so rapidly every week. That was good to see. Ricki did a great job. Still, given the whole season, the best dancer overall, consistently, was JR. So I guess all is well in the world. I’m not completely unmoved by his heroic backstory, and he’s a beautiful human being, but the thing that matters here is can he dance. JR deserved the win.
Now I’m sad that we will have to wait months before another season. I’m already thinking about who the celebs will be, wondering how many of the pros will come back, etc. This season is the first year I’ve EVER watched a results episode. I always just google who was eliminated after the fact. Next season I might start watching them all. They are better than I thought they would be.
So, thanks to Pure DWTS. I enjoy the blog, enjoy the commentary and the stats, and will check in every now and then until DWTS Season 14 makes me a regular again. Thanks to the Pure DWTS bloggers who make this such an entertaining place to share the fun in this show.
Hey, do you think Pure DWTS fans would be interested in word games like cryptoquizzes of quotes from DWTS stars, something to keep us busy here until Season 14?
Happy for J.R and Karina, finally won a MBT. The rest of the finalists were class acts!
Derek is the best and classiest! Should get an emmy for all his work! Can’t wait for the next season to start. Many thanks to Courtney, Heidi and Voguerista and John and Lori for all their great info all season! Lets all be thankful!
Happy Holidays everyone!
My pick for favorite dance of the night….Carson’s Vogue..and Chynna’s redemption dance. What a shame she blanked on the original, it was great.
What an exciting finish. All three finalists were incredible. I think this was one of the best top 3 ever!!
YAY! JR and Karina won. I am so excited, the right couple definitely won.
Thank you to all, John, Heidi, Courtney, and Vogue, for making the DWTS season so much more enjoyable. I agree, 10′s all around.
*standing o* Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
Adam, Maks has had several ringers. The end.
Beautifully said, dutycall – loved “spin a star”. Hilarious. Derek’s known for a while they weren’t going to win – he is not a stupid man. So, he made sure that Ricki and he went out with a bang. And look at it this way, in a few seasons, what dance is going to be remembered first from this season. Psycho Tango, most likely. And what more can you ask for than that?
Livia, I don’t actually agree the best dancer overall was JR. I may have said that a while ago, but he had more rough nights than Ricki. I think Ricki proved herself as the most consistent dancer, JR just had more joy. Frankly, I thought Rob was the number two dancer last night after Ricki. He really did well. But, this show is about dancing AND popularity – it always has been. Popularity, dancing, a good story, personality – it’s a crazy mix that somehow allows the audience and the judges to pick a winner.
Watching the finale kinda made you feel drunk even if you weren’t, right?
Or am I addressing the wrong audience (regarding the booze)? :smile
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I have to say that I am thankful for everyone at PureDWTS – your hard work, your excellent commentary, and this season’s troll control.
You guys make the show even more enjoyable!
Last night was just so happy, wasn’t it? From all the celebs dancing again to Carson being a riot to Chynna’s redemption dance to David running off with the mirrorball to Ricki and Rob’s genuine joy and classiness to JR and Karina being hoisted up….sigh. I loved it all.
Congratulations to the winners and the finalists.
Carson is what this show is about – the pure love and joy of performing and sharing that joy with the audience
@MN, agree about how the young men seem to grow when they are on this show.
Will the Puredwts staff consider an off-season post on showmances?
Thanks to John, Heidi, Courtney, Voguerista, Lori and the savvy, smart, dedicated posters who make this website the premiere site for DWTS.
Wrong audience, Sasa. There was wine at my house.
The showmances post is a little dangerous – some of us know more than we should.
@PH
ffended
Some of you are bloody braggers, that’s what you are.
Are you jealous of my wine, Sasa??
I’m afraid to ask what braggers means where you’re from….
At first I was disappointed that Ricki came in third, but after their video montage and spin a star, I was completely satisfied. I was impressed that Rob was the first one to hug Ricki. That video showed the true Derek. He noticed Ricki’s confidence grow, and Ricki really got emotional watching him talk about her.
I loved how they were so gracious. They knew they were not going to win, but as Ricki said, “I went out with a bang.” These two were class all around.
Thanks to the Pure DWTS team. I am so glad I found this website. You guys are amazing! I am relieved to see you will still be posting stuff during the off season. Hope Derek is back next season! Go Ricki!
Congratulations to JR & Karina! Very happy for them.
Ricki & Derek, a true class act! They were so gracious & appreciative! Very touching exit. The way the applause from the audience got louder & louder and watching them view their clips made me a little emotional! Derek is so dashing. I love the way he spun her around at the end. They did go out with a bang! So much appreciation, love and respect between them. He transformed Ricki into a beautiful performer and wow her body looks amazing too! So proud of both of them.
I loved the friendship that developed between these three teams. Derek hoisting JR-just a testament of the class and maturity he always exhibits!!
Congrats
What are talking about, since no one is talking about you as far as we know how can you be offended. Comments are about the dancers in the finals, what have you got to do with the three of them?
So glad JR and Karina got the win! I was happy Rob was 2nd, but if Ricki had gotten it I would not have been upset. I thought everyone did well last night and it seemed like such a fun atmosphere–no drama or fussiness, which is what I want in my cheesy dancing show.
I think all of the dancers from this season should be proud of the way they performed and conducted themselves, with the exception of maybe one. I really loved Carson so much. I was squealing with delight while he was dancing last night.
I do think JR was consistently the best dancer, but that is only my opinion. It is all over now though, and what really matters is that all of them are happy and proud of their achievements, and I truly think they all are!
Now that it’s over and we have to wait for next season (MARCH 19…..WTF??) I’m wondering if the format will ever change. Ok, what am I saying? BTW, feel free to add your two cents. I LOVE the show.
- I don’t think it’s likely they’ll ever change the judges around (but it sure would be nice to see Carrie Ann go bye bye). Having said that, I can stand her more than that chick from SYTYCD. YIKES. The screaming one?
- It would be interesting to see an All-Stars version, where they bring back people who didn’t win, but were favorites, that were maybe kicked off early. Obviously other shows have done this (Top Chef), I just think it would make for an interesting twist.
-I know the show has a rep for getting not *quite* A-list stars….but MAN….it sure would be interesting to see at least one or two big names. I know there’s some definite cynicism about it from some Hollywood peeps. Someone mentioned it’s prob bc they’re worried about insecurities, fan base, etc etc. Prob true. And “they’re so famous” they don’t need it. Blah. I think it would be EXCELLENT – and given the right formula, would help them out.
-I thought of this last night….I think one dance challenge should be to, as an individual couple, work with “back-up” dancers/pros….kind of like Carson did. I think it def focuses attention on a dancer’s technical ability when compared to someone else.
Just some thoughts. Thrilled for JR and Karina!! Woo!!!
This season was probably my favorite as far as the dances theme go. I loved the tribute dance the most, J.R. story was so moving, almost all of them were however. Movie night as great so much better then Broadway nights in the past. The few things that I felt was bad was the judges this year, they had definite favorites and dislikes. I think that Rob did get better, but did not deserve some of the scores and they were too hard on Hope. I hope next year they have only stars, no reality stars, I will not watch a show with a Kardashion on it, hoping they do not try out any more of then, the world needs a large break from them. Maybe new judges for a breath of fresh air. They did not do justice this year. Over all it was a great season
Just want to add my thanks for all who maintain this site. It certainly has been hectic at times , and you guys kept the ship on an even keel.
And congrats to JR and Karina…JR was that winning combination of good dancer, and personality plus. An inspiration to us all…Looking forward to next season.
Safe and Happy Holidays to all.
I’m so happy JR won and Karina finally got her first MBT! They both deserved it
Though I do agree that Ricki had the better technique out of the 3 but imo JR had the best combination of technique and performance that made him so great to watch. To me, Rob was overscored and deserved the third place but its all good
I want to thank the Pure DWTS team Courtney, Heidi, Voguerista, John,Lori. You do an amazing job and make my DWTS seasons even more awesome
Im so sad this great season is over and look forward to the next one already! In the meantime, I’ll check the website everyday
I like the idea of an all stars show, too, but I think it would be very difficult. If you did like you said, Melissa, and brought back stars who went out too early but people really liked, how would they choose who would compete? There are probably a lot of them that would fit that description. An all winners all-star season, which would just have freakin amazing dancing, would be so awesome but–most of the winners had the same partners: Mark, Cheryl, Kym, Derek, Julianne. So who gets their originial partner and who has to dance with someone new? Or do you give them ALL new partners? That would be what they would have to do, especially since Julianne and Alec Mazzo aren’t even on DWTS anymore. I would love to see it, but I just don’t see how it could work. It might ruin the winners’ memories of the show if they had a different pro partner they just didn’t get with. I mean, could you really see Jennifer with Maks or Nicole with Louis? They’d probably kill each other LOL.
I did notice something interesting (at least to me) last night during the finale. Karina and Cheryl were the last two pros standing–Karina and Cheryl were also the last two pros standing in season 3. Have there ever been the final two pros that were the same more than one season before last night? I can’t think of any, but I didn’t start watching until season 3, which may be why it jumped out at me. I think season 1 was Alec and a female pro that hasn’t been back though, and season two was Cheryl and Anna, right?
Sorry for the long post!
You can say what you want about DWTS, but the right couple always win the trophy. And that’s all that matters in the end.
Dwts 14 on march 19, 2012 https://twitter.com/dwtsgossip/status/137687471000518657
Thanks to Heidi, Courtney, Vogue, Lori & John for all the wonderful work you all do here on PUREDWTS. You all made me anticipate each week and just it an overall more exciting season.
I am happy for JR and Karina!!!
I must say, I am a little disappointed that Rob and Cheryl came in second, but still proud of him for growing as much as he did over the course of the show.
And Ricki and Derek? I do think they should have placed higher, but then we would have missed what I think is the best Goodbye package and dance that we’ve seen! And what Derek said about Ricki and her journey was touching and sweet, and seemed to leave even Tom slightly at a loss for words! I am glad that we were able to see that. And Spin a Star….. Totally Derek, and a great ending for them!
dutycall10 – I love you post! It was a beautiful finale and it so nice to see the camaraderie between all 3 of the finalists!! You could also tell by Ricki & Cheryl;s tweets that they became close friends.
You are right Violet. The only time the final two pros have been the same have been this season/season3.
13 seasons and only 4 different female pro winners and 3 different male pro winners. Happy that Karina won this time! I think up until last season, she was the female pro who always got the lousy partners (either terrible dancers or bad personalities, which is one reason I think why people didn’t always care for her until last season….her partners didn’t help her all these years).
But I love all the pros who have won a trophy, and the ones who have not yet are not really any favorites of mine. Really the only one left that I would love to see win someday who hasn’t is Anna!….and maybe our newbie Tristan!
As much as I loved this season, I think it was due more the pros (Thristan, Maks, Derek, Val, Tony, Mark, Anna, Lacey, Cheryl, Kym, Karina…..not including Peta who was a major dissapointment). Also, if the Pee Wee Herman thing turns out to be true for next season I would love to know who is going to get stuck w that lol (My guess would be Cheryl lol).
@EPmusic: I agree somewhat. The only partners that Karina had that were really good and fan favs were Mario Lopez, Aaaron Carter, and Ralph.
Well, I have to say, this was my favorite dance last night.
@Heidi
Jealous of the wine, jealous that you get to comfortably watch the whole thing live in the evening while I have to scramble for lousy streams in the middle of the night or settle for youtube and jealous of your insider scoop.
Yep, pretty much jealous all around.
SO OVER THE MOON HAPPY for JR and Karina!! Finally a new member in the winner’s circle!! Also, Karina is the first non-native English speaker to take the MBT since Alex Mazo- that’s pretty interesting!! Also congrats to Rob and Cheryl- such a surprise and way to go Cheryl for basically taking a lump of clay and molding it into something awesome! And congrats Ricki and Derek for being super classy and awesome on their way out! Finally proud of Derek for hoisting up JR but also super proud of Mark for getting Karina on his shoulders- these two don’t discriminate and I’m pretty sure Maks, Tony, Val that crew weren’t going to give her any love. My favorite ending since season 8- the last time my favorite one the MBT!!
@EP I’m with you regarding Anna and Tristan, but I would also add Chelsie Hightower to the list of pros I would really like to see win. I wouldn’t be upset with any of them winning, though.
I like all our pros, though some may tread on my nerves now and then!
I think I spent more time on this site than actually watching the show! Thanks for everything.
Re Carson’s video above, I think his dancing at the 2 minute mark, after he and Anna separate is up there with fun fun fun along with Derek spinning Ricki like a bottle on the dance floor after they were eliminated. You can’t do this stuff if you’re not having real fun.
Even though there obviously won’t be power rankings or numbers posts for last night, I’d be interested to know what Courtney and Heidi (and anyone else) thought of the actual dances.
Just wanted to say thank you to the PureDWTS team! You guys are great.
Heh. I don’t think you REALLY want to know my opinion of the dancing last night. I doubt it would conform to popular opinion right now.
Dancing wasn’t the greatest last night apart from the Psycho tango but it truly didn’t matter that much. It was all very pleasant to watch.
The highlights of the evening were for me:
Chaz, Lacey and Buddy
David and stealing the mirrorball
Psycho Tango and Ricki’s last twirl on the floor
The winner announcement and the celebration that followed.
But it’s a bit funny how every year when you have your nice, humble winner and you expect them to share lifting the mirrorball with their pro they all get too excited and just go for it by themselves. Hines did it as well. I don’t mind really, it just goes to show how invested even the nicest guys are.
Awww…So happy JR and Karina won. Imo, best dance team since day one. Love their friendship, chemistry and just their wonderful attitude shined through their dancing.
LOL, Heidi!!!
Pleased that JR and Karina won – rather by virtue of their performance in the whole competition than the last two weeks – but think it reflects the season well. I read somewhere (on this site?) that Derek would have rather placed 3rd than 2nd, and whilst it rankled that he was beaten by a Kardashian, I thought that it was really nice that we got to say a proper goodbye to Ricki and Derek. That was actually my favourite part of the evening – spin a star was a great idea! Thought they were both really classy and their close relationship really showed. Four months sounds like a really long time. I’ve got withdrawal symptoms already!! Just to echo the general thanks people have directed to all the posters here at pureDWTS. As an overseas viewer (addict might be closer) I couldn’t get my fix without you all so thank you so, so much!
Thank you from me as well to the spectacular Pure DWTS team who entertains us and brings us all together as fans of this wonderful show. You are the best and should be awarded your own MBT!
I’m bummed that Derek didn’t get his 4th MBT & i think he and Ricki got robbed but he deserves tons of praise for taking someone who I would guess was a bit of a couch potato and molding her into a beautiful and credible dancer that could do lifts! They were a great team and had many memorable dances of which they can be proud. Its going to be a long wait for Season 14! I hope Derek will return. Congratulations to JR/Karina for the win and Rob/Cheryl for 2nd place.
Loved Tuesday’s show. These three couples have restored my joy in DWTS. Huge congrats to all three. I’m delighted JR and Karina took home the MBT, but they’re all winners and class acts in my book.
Also want to give a big shout out to the remarkably dedicated and wonderful Pure DWTS crew. You work like dawgs during the season to keep all of us in the know and entertained. You run your own marathon right alongside all the dancers on the show. So now it’s time for you to take a break, too. You’ve earned it!
Realizing this is an international blog, I’m still gonna say “Happy Thanksgiving to all”!
I already posted my thoughts and congratulations to the finalists on another thread, so I won’t repeat myself on this one.
However, I forgot ( how could I forget ?), to mention how much I enjoy this website. I found it after I vowed never to return to the ABC DWTS Board.That Board is a whole ‘nuther experience entirely.
I love reading the wit & wisdom expressed here by Courtney,Heidi,Vogue, John & Lori! Great job, and such a treat!
Thank you all at PureDWTS!
You guys are all so sweet! Thank you for all the love and your participations and everything!! May your Thanksgiving be the best!!!xxxx
Congratulations to JR and Karina, it’s been forever since my favorite won!(my 2nd fav has won for the past 4 seasons) Well Deserved, JR is a true hero! I’m so happy Karina finally won a mirrorball. There were 5 highlights of the finale, JR and Karina’s freestyle, spin a star, Carson’s dance, Chynna’s dance, and crowning the champions! Thanks to Courtney, Heidi, Vogue, John, and Lori, you all have done a phenomenal job with this site!
I would like to add my thanks to the amazing and dedicated group of dance lovers who make this site the best blog on the Internet. I don’t even read one thing on the ABC site because this one is so much better. I could not enjoy the show nearly as much if I could not read everyone’s posts and laugh at the Cheesecake awards, etc. And feisty Heidi!! Nobody puts Heidi in the corner!! LOL
Thanks to all for everything. Please don’t stop.
YW Alice and I love how you describe Heidi. To know her, is to love her for sure!!
Absolutely right, Princess Heidi – when DWTS reaches its 300th episode, Psycho Tango will go down as one of the greats. Love that J.R. won, but I don’t think any of the other dances will be as memorable, except for Carson’s Vogue and Moves Like Jagger. TPTB better hire him, the ratings will soar even more than they do now!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND! I hope all of you enjoyed your holiday. Good Luck with Black Friday!
Couldn’t agree more!!
I am still hearing that Psycho music in my head. I my opinion, probably one of the most memorable dances of Dereks. Its just like the music from Jaws… Spinetingling and Unforgettable!
@Vogue – Did you read that DWTS Seasons 4 through 13 will be starting to run in syndication on GSN in January 2012. I can’t wait!
Yes, I did Sandy. In fact, that news will be going up shortly. I can’t wait too.
