Love your post Roxy, absolutely agree! ;D When they said 'that' name, all I could do was laugh really. Congratulations Channel 7, you got what you wanted. Maybe just jam pack it full of Ch 7 personalities next time seeing as that's all it's about. Anyway, enough with the negatives I think. AGAIN, DAMIEN DID US PROUD, HE DANCED AMAZINGLY, AND HE DID SO WELL FOR HIS CHARITY ;D Now we can focus on the music and what our man does best, SINGING! Though of course, I hope he continues to dance!

Ah Damo & Mel you guys rocked! Sorry everyone I couldn't post and watch too , and have been reading through all the comments. Agree with you all of course, but early on I saw the writing on the wall so have actually been having a good chuckle at the ridiculousness of the whole thing. The Manu lovefest is actually quite comical. don't think I have ever seen such a farce! Damien & Mel's freestyle was brilliant! I can't wait to watch it again. How amazing! Aren't the judges lucky they were spared having to think of a way to give Manu 10's if they had to judge their dance as well Phew! They had a lucky escape! The farewell package they showed for Damien and Mel was absolutely beautiful..finally they showed their 10, 10, 10 performance and blind freddy can see how good they are. Even though they came in third they won big time..the hard work, obvious joy, respect and talent shone through. Mel's comments about Damo had me bawling..so beautiful...we should have warned her he has that effect! He needs to come with a warning! I've more to say, but will take a breath.. to Damien & Mel: Congratulations you beautiful people! So proud!

Well I'm speechless, I feel angry, upset and gutted but we all knew this was going to happen from the start, I feel so proud of Damien and Mel for getting as far as they did, this show has probably opened up a whole lot of new possibilities for Damien, but I can't believe it was so blatantly rigged Thanks Glawz and Di for the updates, I really appreciated them. Now if I could only get into the lounge room to watch the show, but no one is letting me

I can't add anything to what's been written. Our man is so gracious in defeat (as he is in victory) and the whole show has been great promotion for him - letting so many people see his lovely nature and how he gives his all. Mel's comments were really touching - we all know how she feels! Sigh - I wonder how they got the judges to give such scores. I'm no ballroom dancer, and I think Manu was entertaining, but he couldn't dance for nuts (although in those yellow pants you could see his nuts!)

Show hasn't finished here yet.I've just walked away. Haven't read back yet. Haven't seen "in writing" yet who the winner is . All I can say at this moment is " how bloody convenient that Haley has danced like a legend for her last 5-6 dances and then flops at the last turn with low scores. The moment I saw that, I knew Manu was about do a perfect score dance!
HOW BLOODY OBVIOUS CAN THEY GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for DWTS!! - despite the farcical result ... Because of his participation, I've been able to share in so many wonderful experiences that he and Melanie (and of course Damien's whole family) have had ... Dancing his way into my livingroom and heart simultaneously. I've loved all Damien & Mel's performances. And we loved their rapport and the example they set for so many people on how to work together respectfully and still have fun and still achieve great things! Agree with you all the way Nuffy!! Damien's freestyle was soooooooooo fantastic - he was so relaxed and having a fantastic time and singing along to the music, I think being voted out before actually gave him freedom to be his very best! So I'm kind of glad that happened so that we could see him fulfill his every potential!! I agree that Manu has no technical prowess, but he certainly showed how to have a good time and I have to give him credit for that! Obviously the judges do not judge on mastery of the dance alone - definitely some rigging going on there, from the very first ad Manu was front and centre!! And really, it doesn't matter for Damien that he didn't win - as has been said before, he is still an undeniable winner and the whole show has been a big win for him!! Now he can go back and concentrate on his primary talent (maybe, there's so many!!) and WOW all his old, new and reminded fans that have come out of the woodwork with his music!! Perhaps channel 7 haven't shown the last of him yet............. ;D

The Freestyle dance is usually the highlight of the grand final giving each couple the chance to show all of their talent in their own way.... and get a big score from it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooooo...... WHAT'S THE FRICKEN POINT OF GETTING D & M TO DANCE AFTER THEY WERE ELIMINATED It might have been good, but who cares ? that was a 30 point dance, so "we'd better eliminate them before they do their Freestyle" just in case they win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pathetic, absolutely no reason to get them to do that dance. I know I will love it when I watch it over & over again. But now i am pretty pissed on that point

True, Deb, they should have kept Damien in until the end and have a final three at the very end........ maybe too risky?? He did kill that dance
