I am sad to be saying this, but...it is now time for the last Ed Ziskind DWTS report of the season. For the last time...take it away Ed:
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!
You can’t really call it an upset.Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani were at the top of their game all season long.But when they were announced as the All Star Season Champions, all hell broke loose on the dance floor!
The crazed reaction in the ballroom to their victory – of the returning eliminated stars, the dancers, and even the judges – must have been a combination of joy for Tony, who had never made it to the Finals before; and pride for Melissa, who cruised right past her goal of making it to week four, set her sights on the prize and delivered perfect scores along the way to back it up.
Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough had made a late run.Their Instant Dance in the Finale was an instant classic, vastly superior to Melissa and Tony’s – but not enough to make up for the points they lost last night for intentionally breaking hold.
Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy scored well with their Instant Dance – their first perfect 30 of the season.It had them a half a point ahead of Shawn and Derek in total Judges votes.But the viewers knew that they were third best in this Finals competition and voted accordingly.They were eliminated first.
For those of you who watched the show all season long, then like me, your Season Finale experience was a sentimental walk down memory lane – a chance to revisit all the highs and lows of an exciting season.All the stars were back and dancing - well!The audience was full of contenders from prior seasons.We got more behind-the-scenes footage from the producers.Heartfelt moments from the stars and dancers were revealed.And then… the most exciting winning moment yet on Dancing With The Stars.Congratulations on a great season, Melissa and Tony!
Thanks for a great season of reports Ed!
