I’m so thrilled! He’s adorable, Kym’s just the best! I fell in love with this couple and I’m glad the best pair won.

We’ve seen the hip hop freestlye routines before, Hines and Kym’s was original and entertaining. They deserved to win.

I think Kristie deserved it she is 60 and was keeping up with an athlete and a 23 year old! Hines was good but I think his partner Kim was doing most of the dancing to cover up his lack of footwork. But I think they make a cute couple

@yaya:

They do great, but they don’t always win. I think he’s only the second one to win the Mirror Ball. Emmett Smith was the only other football player that won.

@oz_angel:

It’s her second Mirror Ball. Mark Ballas got on my last nerve. His ‘Goth’ Tango was rediculous! I miss Derek Hough! NOW Derek’s Tango (the way it should be danced) with Nicole was AMAZING! It’s a shame that alot of the audience were turned off by Mark and how he handled the judges feedback at times. In my opinion It really messed up with Chelsea winning. Chelsea even told Mark off about how he handled the feedback in one of the feedback shows.

Uh…the only reason he won is because of the Kym’s neck injury and boy did they milk it.

For me, Hines/Kim were the most engaging couple of them all.

Didn’t get that feeling with Mats & Kristie (they deserved each other) and so glad that Chelsea didn’t win.Hopefully she’s learned she can’t flirt her way through everything. Frankly, I was not impressed with any contestants’ dancing, but Hines and Kim were personally nice together. The producers need to always consider genuine “personality”.

For a family show I’m shocked at how many times they had to bleep out Kirstie.

OMG yay! I voted for both Chelsea and Hines :) I’m so glad he won! He is adorable and seems really sweet. I loved his dancing and I thought he was pretty good! Kirstie couldnt really dance but props to her for being a big lady and 60 years old. I guess all of Hine’s dancing with a pillows at home paid off! :) lol

@rahrahrah:

That’s too funny. I give MAJOR kudos to Kirstie. She can do a slammin’ cha-cha that’s for sure. Just wish she’d wash her mouth out with soap sometimes. I thought her and that fine lookin’ Max had a fun time together, but Kim and Hines had major chemistry. Can’t wait for ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. Love dancing!

@Not a fan:

I dont’ agree with you at all. Kim did not milk anything — neither did Hines. It came down to personality and chemistry and both Kim and Hines had it. I’was ready to vote Mark Ballas off just for wearing those damn black and white spats and high water pants. Still ticked off Donny Osmond won!!!

Obviously the show had footage of Kim’s accident and THEY used it for ratings. Hines and Kym did not milk it. Mark couldn’t have used any more lifts in his freestyle just to show them up. Too bad there wasn’t much dancing there.
