   I will not be watching the show this season because it is
   strictly a popularity contest. It was quite evident when the
   best dancer last season did not win. People should vote on
   the dancing!!!

   My husband and I both thought that Gilles and Cheryl should have been the winners. There was no comparison to any of the other contestants.

   I love ballroom dancing. The other brought in entertainment is not my cup of tea.

   Although I liked Shawn Johnson, I feel her talents were not on the dance floor and Cheryl & Gilles should of been the winners.
   I believe the judges should have 90% of the vote and the audience the other 10%. Dancing is the show now just popularity.

   Cheryl and Gilles should have won. The other couple were good, but I still think cheryl & Gilles should have been the winners.
