And the Winner Is...
Helio Castroneves! Wow I am so happy and relieved right now. In my world of delusions, I like to think I had
everything to do with this but I guess my Helio did some fantastic dancing all season and the voters out there recognized him for it. They brought out milk! I learned recently that it's a race car thing - they drink milk when they win a big race. I think it's weird, I mean why not champagne? It was a nice touch tonight, though. I'm just so glad
Marie didn't win. Phew! You have no idea what a relief it was to have her out of the way after the first few minutes. But I don't want to dwell on the negative, I promised the Marie fans there would be no hard feelings and I meant it.
Nanny Nanny boo boo! We won! Yeah! I am so immature.
But in all seriousness, I think Marie was a bit miffed, no? Even last night she seemed to be acting a bit superior. She took any chance she had to sass the judges and didn't seem to think they had anything relevant (or true) to say. I know I've been against her the past few weeks, but it was only out of fear of her winning. I actually did enjoy watching her this season and think she handled all the drama thrown her way quite well. I bet ABC is still thinking of ways they can throw in footage of her fainting into other shows. You may see her collapsing on
Grey's Anatomy this Thursday.
I have to give credit to
Mel B. It really could have been her competition but I guess it wasn't in the stars for her. It could be argued that she had a tad more skill than my Helio, but she doesn't have his pizzazz! Something lights up in Helio when he's performing. It really is magic to watch. But what's with the kissing? I'm starting to wonder about him and Julianne. They seemed to linger a little too long. Regardless, the look on his face when they announced he won was icing on the cake of this season. It was so obvious he wanted it bad. He just seems like such a genuine person so I'm glad the mirror ball trophy went to such a humble and deserving winner.
Wow, the season is over. I guess there is nothing left to do but say goodbye! What am I going to do with my weeknights now? I'm going to miss ranting away to you all every week and I'm especially going to miss my fake love affair with my Helio. Thanks to all of you for reading, even the haters. I hope you've enjoyed reading this blog as much as I enjoyed writing it. Will we meet again next season? I sure hope so. Bye for now!
