I was rather rooting for Robert, and especially for him to be anything but THIRD. However, I really enjoyed watching all of these finalists so it's all good.
One of the most lovely things about this show (asisde from the amazing dance and choreography) is that there is truly so much love between the contestants.
While I thought the Ellen bit was ADORABLE, it didn't need to be at the end as comic relief -- almost cheapened the evening. I think placing it earlier would have been better. It's not like people weren't going to stick around for the results.
And how about giving Alex the spotlight for his "hand dancing"? So sweet!
Here's a thought: why don't they do a "where are they now" kind of two hour show. I'd love to hear more about what any of the dancers are doing. (it was so great to see HAWK, but I would love to have HEARD about what he's doing as well!)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
