I think they were being so harsh on Melissa last night because maybe she had the next lowest people's votes compared with Lil Kim last week, which would have put her in the bottom two. So, by having the judges nitpick her and stuff they're hoping that it works in the same way that it did with Ty when Len said he needed to go home. So, in reality, I think they're trying to save her.
Gilles was great. I loved Shawn's Tango, not a big fan of her jive. I agree with Carrie Ann that she seemed to lose steam in the middle of it. Ty needs to go home, and Melissa's dances, to me, and I'm agreeing with the judges, were sort of boring. But I don't think that's her fault as much as the choreography that Tony had her do was boring. You know, Stacey Keibler was more deserving to win the year she was in it, but Tony lost it for her because her freestyle dance was just awful! I don't think he's choreographing to the best of her abilities.
But the final should be Shawn/Mark, Gilles/Cheryl, and Melissa/Tony. I think the final two should be Shawn/Mark and Gilles/Cheryl. And I say that because I know Tony isn't capable of choreographing a freestyle for Melissa that will even be in the same realm of what Mark and Cheryl are capable. Case and point. Drew Lachey's "Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" freestyle won it for him! They've done it on the show since then because it was so popular. And Mark and Kristi Yamaguchi had one of the best freestyles I've ever seen, and if you have someone like Shawn who isn't afraid of their feet going over their head, then you're sure to get an awesome freestyle! I just don't think that Tony will be able to do Melissa justice. It's not a slight on her, it's a slight on him. He's a good dancer. And a good teacher, but choreographer? Not so much. If you look at the season as a whole, his choreography, compared to Derek, Julianne, Mark, Cheryl, even Kym is much more simple, and yes, it works, but in the final it won't.
