DWTS 9: Finals pt. 2

Well, after ten exciting weeks we've come to the end of yet another season.

Tonight's conclusion reunited contestants from past and present season's.

I particularly enjoyed Mark and Chuck showing off their martial arts skills on the dance floor. Very fun. Loved Mark and Melissa's Salsa.

Those two are a great pair.

Could have done without Steve Wozniak, or Cloris Leachman (too much of her shtick can get old real fast).

Louie & Chelsie returned to the dance floor to the tune of Donny Osmand's "Puppy Love" with Donny himself doing the honors.

Those two still are the epitome of cuteness :). Also this has to be said, boy has Louie been working out, the boy has some major guns!.

Aaron & Karina did their Kermit the frog routine (aka the Jive). Still as enjoyable as the first time they did it. I'm glad Aaron got something out of the whole experience.

Hopefully it'll keep him on the straight and narrow.

Next it was time for the top 3 to reprise their best dances. Kelly & Louis did one of my faves the Viennese Waltz.

Kelly looked as graceful and fluid as the first time she performed it, only this time she had a new found confidence as well.

She really has come a long way, and it's been an absolute pleasure watching her transform.

But as we all know in a dance competition confidence can only get you so far.

She finished in 3rd place on the judges leader board. And was ultimately sent home. Congrats on a good run Kelly! :).

Mya & Dmitry reprised the Jive, showing once again why they deserved a spot in the finals. They came in 2nd score-wise.

Donny & Kym on the other hand did the Argentine Tango. Donny put his serious face and showmanship skills into full gear earning 1st place from the judges.

There was also a reprise of the Mumbo competition only with Jerry Springer, Steve Wozniak and Cloris Leachman.

The only season regulars were Derek and Joanna. I gotta admit the whole thing was pretty funny, especially when you add Tom Bergeron's running commentary of each dancer.

And how good was Whitney Houston tonight?. She may not be able to hit the really high notes anymore, but she still sounded great!.

As a long time fan of hers I'm very happy to see her looking healthy and enjoying life again. Her new album "I Look To You" is surprisingly good too.

But back to the results.

As predicted it was indeed a battle of fan bases rather then talent.

Donny's fan base won out over Mya's consistent excellence. Making him the champion in the end. Was anyone surprised?.

And that's all folks. Hope you enjoyed it as much as me.
