Hello, DANCMSTRs! EW.com’s Fringe Fairy here. The two-hour monstrosity has begun. For season 8 finalists Shawn Johnson, Gilles Marini, and Meliissa Rycroft, the months-long quest for an 18-inch knob of hardened glitter ends tonight. One will head home weeping tiny, rather attractive droplets of liquid crystals; the other two will be gushing tears of low-grade bedazzler glue for the rest of 2009. It’s a Sad World.
Talk about Dancing With the Stars here during and after the finale, then come back tomorrow morning for my final TV Watch of the season, unless you want me to cry, too. While you wait, check out EW.com’s rhinestone-encrusted photo gallery of costume designer Randall Christensen’s favorite season 8 looks, which just went live this afternoon. It’s not often a lowly fringe fairy gets to interview one of her Top 5 Personal Heroes Ever, you know. Now that I’ve had a taste…if you happen to be Lucille Bluth, Cookie Monster, the Pillsbury Doughboy, or whoever came up with Mountain Dew, you better watch out. I’ll be calling.
See you tomorrow!
Update: It is tomorrow. Finale recap has been posted!








Go Mellissa!
Cheryl and Gilles all the way.. Gille is just yummy. If he wasn’t already taken, I could use some of those moves. Well other Gilles out there that are free.. Holla http://www.funwithgina.com/profile.php?show_profile_id=29
GO MELISSA!!!
I think it was in poor taste to have a poor commedian come on and cut everyone down. Is this a washed up comedy show or a dance show. Remember dance show.
anybody watching? What’s happen so far?
Dancing with the stars is a wonderful show…. But who was the rocket scientist that allowed this idiot so called comedian to bad mouth these contestants that have been giving their all, all of these weeks. Honey you were not funny. Next season lets skip the comedian.
Who won?

Go Melissa you are the best!
The so called “comedian” was very insulting. Not funny at all. DO NOT bring him back next year, he was an insult to the show.
I kinda wanted Melissa to win but i think that Shawn def deserved the win, she was so cute when she realized she won, awsome last episode of the season
Gilles was robbed !!!!!!
Shark!
i knew Shawn would win!! WTG !! I think she had the most entertaining dances
Go Shawn. Giles is very sexy but I just love the spunk of Shawn.
you make me sick. everytime you have some one on that is trainted in dancing or gymnastics. the winner tonight shoulg have been melissa or cheryl. the other one was a gymnest and had no talent in dancing. I will not be watching your show again. you keep putting professionals on just like last season a professional dancer on ice and the one before her.
your show is a farce and I am not the only one who feels that way
