She was clearly the best. i knew nothing about her when the season began. i know who i WANT to win, and i know who HOULD win -- two different people. Sabrina should have been in the finals. i can't say enough about how much Jane irks me. i was so hoping she'd leave. regarding marie's fainting -- well, she fainted AFTER she danced. so, big whoop. Jennie Garth fell, and remember Heather Mills fell last season. Marie has improved a lot, as have many others. But Sabrina went in with skill and drive and even though i'd never heard of her, even though i am older and am not a Cheetah Girls fan, i feel Sabrina should have been in the finals. like many, i was SHOCKED that Sabrina had to leave.

The voters always trend away from the young, attractive and capable dancers. The audience demographic is too old to be a Cheetah Girls fan and too tied into pity votes to purely pick who they think should win.

I only wish I was that good at picking lottery numbers. I knew Marie was still going to get some pity votes based on the fainting spell, but I didn't think Jane would get the pass. (BTW: Slightly entertaining watching Tony in the group dance as a solo performer.) I think the judges will be dealing with a little guilt on this one. Granted, Sabrina didn't quite have the voting fan base, but unnecessary critiques like "it was too powerful" buried her. I'm very disappointed.
