the 3rd season was fixed mario lopez is a much better dancer i totally beieve mario lopez did win

Lisa Wed, Nov 8, 2006 at 07:53 AM EST

I hate to say it but it looks like it is fixed. Season 3 has the final 2 listed in TV guide before the final 3 even danced. If that isn't proff of a fix I don't know what is.

Meg Fri, Sep 23, 2005 at 12:19 AM EST

O Hurley is full of himself and a sore loser. Kelly was much more entertaining to watch and a better sport. O Hurley better at waltz only. Yeh, Kelly for her heart as stated by Alec. She definitely should have won the dance off as she was much more fun and still honest and humble.

Michele Stratton Tue, Aug 23, 2005 at 07:56 PM EST

This smacks of poor sportsmanship on the part os Ohurley.
He thinks much more highly of himself than the public.They are the one who voted for Kelly Monaco. I don't believe that it was fixed by ABC Mr.Ohurley is a poor looser.
Even if he ends up winning the re-match it won't change the fact that he did loose the first time around.The PUBLIC spoke!! They liked Kelly best!

Jen Sat, Aug 13, 2005 at 07:06 PM EST

People keep saying how Kelly's freestyle routine was more difficult than John's, but come on, there's a difference between doing tricks and really dancing. John's routine required a great deal more control and musicality than Kelly's (and face it, she couldn't deal with it - she even forgot her steps). The fact that Alec choreographed lifts and stunts for Kelly was to take everyone's attention off the fact that she can't even do a basic rumba or samba correctly. John learned not only his steps but also the control, musicality and style required for each dance. No, his latin wasn't fantastic but he still got the feel of each dance much better than Kelly, who as far as I could tell was more focussed on shaking her hips and dressing in really stupid costumes to distract the crowd.

Cori Thu, Aug 4, 2005 at 05:47 PM EST

Lisa, as a choreographer you are probably correct in your assessment of their performances. But this was entertainment for the masses - the masses of which are more than likely - not choreographers or professional dancers. For us who voted for Kelly and Alec, we obviously thought they were great.
I do not in any way believe this was fixed. At all. No way.
My goodness, the judges crucified Kelly and Alec week after week. Even when they said nice things, they still scored them lower... except for the Samba and the freestyle.
Judges votes were 50 percent. Public votes were 50 percent. The final score consisted of the votes from the previous week (Kelly and Alec scored lower than John and Charlotte), the public votes from episode 5, followed by the judges scores from the final (in which Kelly and Alec only scored 1 point higher).
The judges could not control public voting, so how was it fixed?
All series long the judges favored John and Charlotte - "the couple to beat". They got beat.
One last thing, you talk about being a choreographer and how horrible Kelly and Alec were. I would love to hear your critique of John and Charlottes dances. Namely the samba and the freestyle. Did you see NO mistakes in their freestyle? Where was their degree of difficulty, where was the mix of all that had been learned? I didn't see it. I saw a fun, funny, entertaining dance. That's all.

Lisa Tue, Aug 2, 2005 at 07:33 PM EST

As a choreographer, I have to put my two cents in. In absolutely NO WAY was Kelly better!!! She stank, and the only reason she won was due to a blatant fix by ABC. Perfect 10s, from all three judges? HA!!! John and Charlotte were much better throughout the entire competition, professional looking and graceful, truly masterful, as ballroom dancers should be. Kelly looked like the Afflack duck in a too-tight bikini, waddling around the stage. The only reason the guys voted for her was they wanted a second (and more successful) "costume malfunction" to occur. If Kelly Monaco had any morals at all, she would admit that in this case the better "man" didn't win! John and Charlotte, you were robbed!!!

Cori Tue, Aug 2, 2005 at 11:11 AM EST

I am appalled at all the negative comments I keep reading. Always, when someone doesn't win, that people want to win, people start crying that it was "fixed". Sad.
I am 50, not a dancer, NEVER have I seen General Hospital, Never heard of KM - nor for that matter John O'Hurley (never watched Seinfeld). So that being said... From the Rhumba, I was hooked on Kelly and Alec.
J and C made an attractive couple, and no doubt had some smooth moves in certain dances. He was NOT good in the sexier latin dances. The Paso Doble left me flat. He relied a lot on his facial and acting ability to distract from dancing... but in that dance he was stiff. In freestyle, they also made mistakes, Charlotte gave up on 1 lift, and another she came out of wrong because he could not get her around. It also was not an overly complicated dance. but they got NINES across the board.
Rachel was boring and pouty. Look at her face when it was elimination time... Always pouting and had that sa "poor little me" look on her face.
Joey and Ashly were entertaining and gave very good performances though certainly he was not real smooth. His problem was his professional partner. Can we say "Miss Attitude", on top of which she wanted the limelight. If you noticed, she was the only one of the pros that always had to interject her mouth. Like she was the star... I loved Joey's zest for dance!
Trista and Evander... deserved to go, though I felt Evander should have been the first - dancewise.

Now I come to Kelly and Alec... They made a gret dynamic couple - appearance-wise. That said, the first dance was horrible for her. She was clearly frightened, stiff and awkward. Regardless of the judges, as a TV viewer, I found her and Alec's Rhumba absolutely sexy and thorougly enjoyable to watch. She didn't seem stiff to me. The Jive was the best performance of that show and though they got great compliments, they still scored lower than others. The Samba was Fabulous, enjoyable to watch. The foxtrot I thought was really good and their Paso Doble was the absolute best to me. Their freestyle dance did have some errors, but for degree of difficulty it was lightyears better than John and Charlottes. Since they gave John and Charlotte Nines across the board, that left only Tens available. Well-deserved!!!!!!!

I believe Kelly and Alec won for these reasons
1) We Americans root for underdogs
2) The judges being mean and overly harsh, fueled more votes for K and A.
3)Their dances were sexy, entertaining and they were enjoyable to watch as a couple. He was very supportive and caring of her.
4) They showed themselves well in ballroom and sizzled in Latin. John and Charlotte blew everyone away with classic ballroom but John did not do as well with the Latin and was not believable. Entertaining maybe, but not sexy...no sizzle.

People need to get over the GH thing.... there are probably more people who voted on DWTS that watched Seinfeld than people who watch GH.

They won. Period. They deserved it.

Bill Sun, Jul 31, 2005 at 09:37 PM EST

As a ballroom dancer I enjoyed the show until the judges cheated and gave 10's to Kelly and her partner. Their performance was good but flawed and not anywhere close to a 10. ABC disgraced themselves with this attempt to get publicity for one of their "stars." There are over 200 members of our group that watched the show and to a person they agree that the fix was in. We probably will not watch future shows.

Jim Fleming Sun, Jul 31, 2005 at 08:07 AM EST

ABC is not the same since Disney took over. ABC has become the most controlled network in our viewing area. There are more promos of coming shows than there is show time it seems.
Disney the parent company has losted sight of Walt Disney's magic.
So do I think ABC would fix a contest like DWTS to have their star win. Sure do! Will I watch next season. Sure Won't!
It can't be a contest with viewer participation until the voting results are shown public through a non bias agency.
Come on ABC give us a break and not your promo breaks.

Jeff Templeton Sat, Jul 30, 2005 at 11:53 AM EST

I luv jon oherly! whjats he on now? i hate abc! they are stinkers for doing that stuff! ps kelly is a stinker to!

Tom Thu, Jul 28, 2005 at 03:04 PM EST

The FIX was IN! ABC should be investigated, this was such a blatantly rigged final show! Kelly was tripping over her own feet, watching her partner's feet when she got lost in the final routine, the height of her stepps were CLEARLY way off her partner's steps, and the very last trick she FELL DOWN TO THE FLOOR!!

I might not have even cared if Kelly and Alex won or not...but, THREE 10'S ??? Why not just call it the WWD? Because it's just as much entertainment as wrestling shows are!

Pay attention ABC...your viewers are not as easy to fool as you might think they are!

Cathy Thu, Jul 28, 2005 at 02:35 PM EST

Popularity Contest - Kelly wins

Dance Contest - John wins

This was a 'Dance' contest, was it not?

scarlette Thu, Jul 28, 2005 at 12:07 PM EST

Its so obvious that it wasn't fixed. People need to stop being so bitter about this. Kelly won and she deserved to. Her and Alecs performance was simply better. Also the soap audience of GH IS NOT THAT BIG so that was NOT the reason she won. GET OVER IT PEOPLE MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!

Janis Palardy Wed, Jul 27, 2005 at 05:51 PM EST

The judging was not fair. Kelly slipped at the end of her final dance routine. If anybody says she did not slip, then the choreography was so lousy, they shouldn't rate a "10" anyway!

Krystle Wed, Jul 27, 2005 at 12:23 PM EST

Ugh, it was SOOOOO fixed. Even those who say it wasn't admit that her final performance was flawed - in fact, those were the most mistakes I'd seen in one dance since Holyfield was still on the show! And why was ABC concentrating on running promos for Dancing With the Stars while their daytime soaps were on? So Monaco's fans would tune in at nighttime. Yet another example of how corporate corruption has crept into our lives - we can't even watch a fair TV show now. And did you see them try to dance on Leno? It was sad. Same w/ Regis and Kelly.

Kelley Maresca Tue, Jul 19, 2005 at 10:08 PM EST

It was fixed. 2 weeks into it, My sister andI called it. Sure enough we were absolutely right. She won. Don't get me wrong she sure looked good dancing, but I was under the imopression that the votes were to be cast based upom skil, not gallant effort. The fact that Trista got voted off the first week does not mean much because She is a has been on ABC since the bachelorette is now over. Kelly Monocos part is just befinning to develop on General Hospital.

Joseph Moon Tue, Jul 19, 2005 at 02:21 PM EST

Why do people keep saying that Kelly's and Alex's improvement is the reason why she won?
So what if they steadily improved?
The bottom line is, they were't better than John and Charlotte.

Dayna Thu, Jul 14, 2005 at 08:54 PM EST

Sorry to those who believe that this "contest" was legit. Also for those who think it had to be real, because Trista had been voted off earlier. Well, Trista isn't a current ABC employee. ABC wouldn't have gained anything by pimping her, as they did Monaco. They promoted Kelly, after the first couple of weeks, as the underdog. I'm sure that all the talk show appearances she made as the "winner" (quotes intended) did nothing but help General Hospital and it's flagging ratings.

Next time maybe ABC will put a little more thought into the process. If the judges hadn't given Kelly and Alec perfect scores they just might have gotten away with it.

Karen Thu, Jul 14, 2005 at 09:11 AM EST

Kelly sucks whether you like it or not. clearly, she was watching her partner to see the steps because she doesnt know anything about timing. John should have won HANDS DOWN! sorry to break it to you, it was a fix. just because She had more gay fans and wears obscene outfits, she won. all you people saying it's gay to think it's a fix, you're gay to think it's actually true. So ya, this was fake and really disappointing.

Gabby Sun, Jul 10, 2005 at 10:34 AM EST

Kelly won because she was the most improved the idea that this was a conspiracy is ridiculous and immature people are just saying it was because they are probably upset because they wanted another person to win it's not like they got money they just won a trophy it's not a big deal everyone who says it's fixed should quit whining suck it up and move on.

Emily Sun, Jul 10, 2005 at 10:26 AM EST

Kelly Won Because she was the best competitor, improving her game at every stage!
Kelly & Alec put in a huge ammount of effort into their dances!
Their freestyle was excellent and she's not a prof dancer so some glitches are gonna happen!
Get Over it, Kelly & Alec won because they deserved to!

Stephany Sat, Jul 9, 2005 at 10:20 PM EST

Kelly won because she's amazing!

crystal Sat, Jul 9, 2005 at 04:16 PM EST

Please people. this show was not fixed. Kelly won this competition because she improved week after week and never gave up. I agree with some posts that they gave John votes that were high, so they had to give her 10's. Yes , she did have some flubs in the routine, but all in all the freestyle performance was better than John's. I am a Kelly fan, and I hope she does not take this negative criticism seriously. She WON, get over it. Plus, people say that ABC was fixed because she is an ABC star, umm what about TRISTA SUTTER, and she was the 1st one to get elimanated. Does not seem like a fix to me!!

Janeen Sat, Jul 9, 2005 at 02:55 PM EST

Kelly and Alec were the true winners of this event. Alec taught Kelly how to dance and week after week she improved until the only thing that could happen, did happen, they won the whole series! Good job Kelly and Alec, don't let anyone steal your thunder!

Josh Sat, Jul 9, 2005 at 02:33 PM EST

Kelly and Alec did a fantastic job those last few weeks. This reminds me of the American Idol season one, when Justin Guarini was the favorite to win from the start and Kelly Clarkson just proved to be better and better every week, ending up winning.

Kelly and Alec did great and deserved to win. enough with silly conspiracy theories.

Nadine Sat, Jul 9, 2005 at 12:24 AM EST

John and Charlotte = winners

Kelly and Alec = 2nd place

Judges = need glasses if they actually think they saw a perfect dance routine

ABC = should be in big trouble for fixing a competition in favor of their employee.

Arlene Sat, Jul 9, 2005 at 12:19 AM EST

How much do you want to bet that meetings are being held at ABC right now regarding damage control on this show?

I'd be willing to bet that we won't see any actors contracted to Disney/ABC on this show again.

I certainly won't watch any subsequent editions. I thought (erroneously, it turns out) that the judging would be fair.

I hope that John and Charlotte know that they were the true winners of this competition. Even if that's not the outcome as scripted by ABC.

Melissa Sat, Jul 9, 2005 at 12:08 AM EST

PERFECT (adjective): being entirely without fault or defect; flawless.

Being awarded not one but three perfect scores for a clearly flawed performance smacks of incompetent judging at best, and a rigged competition at worst.

Do I think it was rigged from the start? Probably not. I don't think ABC knew what it had in this show, or they would have scheduled it during sweeps. I think they were blown away by the ratings, and then were surprised at the popularity of their little soap opera star.

Who says that reality TV isn't scripted? Three perfect scores, for the last performance on the last night to award the trophy to their plucky little underdog. Now that's television. Just like the $64,000 question.

tom Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 06:10 PM EST

anything kelly does is allright by me

Dave Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 05:55 PM EST

I definitely think something went on. I believe the John O'Hurley should have been the champion. Kelley and her partner did not deserve the 3 10s that the judges gave them. O'Hurley clearly had the better routine.

jim Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 02:46 PM EST

ABC's fix was so blatant that they obviously think many viewers are morons, and judging by some of the comments above they are right. Kelly: you go, girl - straight to dance class. John/Charlotte: you were robbed.

anonymous Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 12:34 PM EST

The purpose of this show is to engage the viewers in a competition in which they do not know the outcome of the show. If the show was a fix, which I doubt, it does not matter because it still provided entertainment to its viewers and got one of the better ratings of the summer. I do not understand why people would not want to watch a second season. If it keeps me entertained, I watch it.
I was rooting for Kelly, although I am definately not a soap fan, because she had improved the most, had the best attitude, and was entertaining. The reason many of the people voted for Kelly and Alec was because they were the most entertaining to watch, not necissarily the best. As for the three 10's they recieved, I do not believe they were the correct scores for the dance performed, but they're the professionals, not me. I do think that John and Charlotte were the better dancers overall.
**Contgratulations to Kelly and Alec on their win, fix or not.
(that was long)

Amy Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 12:15 PM EST

Why is this such a big deal still? Everyone already got paid in the being for doing this show. Oh and by the way a freestyle dance is supposed to be improved, meaning the part where kelly was looking at Alec was included in the routine to imitate improve. Obviously people are reading too much into this show and need to focus their negative engery on something else. Last time I check John O'Hurley was in a commerical not based on DWTS. I think that he is making money off the show even if he didn't win. People the seires is over, let it go, Kelly and Alec won. Plus I didn't see John doing half the tricks Kelly did. All I saw as a weird display of Charlotta enjoying shaking John's hips for him because he was unable to do so by himslef. When people win the Super Bowl they say that they are going to Disneyland so why isn't that a conspiracy too? Abviously not so leave Kelly alone and let the show settle.

Stephanie Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 10:43 AM EST

well, actually Kelly and Alec didn't do better than John and Charlotta in the freestyle. That's pretty much the point. They made several glaring errors - stopping in the middle of the performance, not to mention stumbling and FALLING at the end!

This was blatantly fixed and it was laughably obvious.

ABC had the surprise hit of the summer and they blew any chance of turning this into a franchise by fixing it for their little soap starlet.

Christine Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 10:39 AM EST

This wasn't fixed. You jealous people need to get over it. You need to get over the fact that Kelly and Alec did better than John during the freestyle. Get over it! Kelly and Alec won because they were great. She was the most improved she deserved it. You people that say it was "fixed" are just sore losers.

Scott Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 10:36 AM EST

John and Charlotte were definitely the best performers overall throughout the series, but, right or wrong, the "winners" were judged solely on their last performances. And frankly, Kelly and Alec outdanced John and Charlotte in the end. John and Charlotte got a little complacent while Kelly and Alec built momentum. Maybe they didn't "deserve" a perfect score, but, their free style dance was easily one of the best of the entire season.

It's all subjective anyway. In my mind, they all did a great job and it was fun to see all the contestants and their dancers again in the finale.

Abby Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 10:30 AM EST

I throroughly enjoyed this show until I saw Kelly and Alec get the only perfect scores of the competition. Didn't these judges see all the mistakes she made? Check that disco ball trophy. It's got Brian Frons's (Head of ABC Daytime) fingerprints all over it.

Kathy Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 09:58 AM EST

Bitter people make bitter comments! A fix? No way!
Kelly & Alec did a far more difficult freestyle routine. Both couples had obvious missteps throughout but the biggest difference was that Charlotta covered up John's errors. Charlotta distracted the viewers eye. It's almost impossible to "judge" a female dancer versus a male dancer simply because the steps and showmanship requirements are so different. John basically "scooted" around the floor following Charlotta and threw in an "elderly" type lift while Kelly actually did lifts, spins, and backovers. By far, Kelly was the better performer. Kelly Monaco did an outstanding job in spite of everything!!! Hats off to Kelly.

Crystal Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 09:33 AM EST

The conspiracy theories surrounding Kelly's win is ridiculous. All the price was a trophy which was kind of ugly and the show was never to be taken seriously, it was always more about entertainment then talent. Kelly deserved the win just like John would have if it had been him who had won and any amateur dancer can who can do the stunts that Kelly did in her dance with out breaking a bone deserves a perfect 10 score imo. It's a shame that not everyone can show the class that John did over losing. Kelly won because she had a loyal soap fanbase behind her even soap fans who are not fans of hers not because ABC fixed the show which makes no sense. She got less publicity then any of the other stars and winning is not going to have a huge impact on her career and help the General Hospital ratings so it's not like they benefit from it.

sp aka hailey Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 09:26 AM EST

plzzz... everyone here thinking that it was a fix needs to get a life. move on, she won and she deserved it!! u haters have nothing better to do... but it doesnt matter, say whatever u want afterall thats what u do for living.. how sad :(
goooo kelly u rocked it girl ;)

Lizzie Dee Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 09:20 AM EST

I wouldn't say it was "fixed" per se, but the fact that they chose someone from an ABC soap, knowing that there is a large (and crazy) fan base...I'd say that answers it.

And whether Kelly made a "comeback" or not, the bottom line is that she is no J. Peterman.

Sandra Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 09:12 AM EST

I very much doubt ABC fixed this. It would be network suicide considering the amazing comeback year they've had.

The judges did the only thing they could do in the freestyle dance after scoring John O'Hurley's dance so high. I defy anyone to watch those freestyle dances side by side and say that Kelly didn't outperform him. I think the judging was fair and impartial.

KD aka babygirl Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 08:50 AM EST

I'm agreeing with this poster's comments...

" I do think Kelly & Alec's freestyle dance was better. Since they overscored John's dance like they have always done in his previous dances, they had to give Kelly 10's. It's kind of sad to see people taking this show seriously. It's supposed to be a fun entertaining show to watch for the summer. I'm really feeling bad for Kelly & Alec. They don't deserve this. Kelly worked hard, never gave up and improved each week and to say she didn't deserve it? It's completely Ridiculous! People who think of these conspiracy theories, need to get a life!"

Kelly and Alec both worked extremely hard for their comeback win and I'm glad to see they won! As a PROUD Kelly Monaco fan I couldn't help but stand up and scream when she got 10s. Do I think that 3 10s were called for? Yes, because their dance was better than John and Charlotte's and since they got 9s, 10s was the next place the judges could go.

As for the Disneyland comment, who hasn't said they were going to Disney after a shocking win? I mean, it is well known that people say that off the top of their head when they have won something. It isn't some deep dark plot to take over the world! It's a TV show, which I think the "haters" have forgotten! Had Kelly not won, I would be happy for John just the same. He was a decent dancer and deserved to be where he was. I think Kelly and Alec are getting to much non deserved flack for what happened. All they did was go out there and dance....and they did it well!!

Mary Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 08:06 AM EST

No, I don't think the show was fixed. Why would ABC go out of their way to help a soap star? Face it,actors/actresses on soaps are looked down upon. Do I think Kelly & Alec deserved 10's? No. But John & Charlotte didn't deserve those 9's either. But I do think Kelly & Alec's freestyle dance was better. Since they overscored John's dance like they have always done in his previous dances, they had to give Kelly 10's. It's kind of sad to see people taking this show seriously. It's supposed to be a fun entertaining show to watch for the summer. I'm really feeling bad for Kelly & Alec. They don't deserve this. Kelly worked hard, never gave up and improved each week and to say she didn't deserve it? It's completely Ridiculous! People who think of these conspiracy theories, need to get a life!

Hyatt Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 08:03 AM EST

I just want to see another "Dancing With The Stars", it's a refreshing change.

Paul Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 07:27 AM EST

I definitely don't think it was a fix. And those who think it was a fix OBVIOUSLY didn't watch all of the episodes. They were very hard on Kelly and Alec through the entire contest - routinely giving them poor scores and harsh criticism. They definitely NEVER let her coast. And their freestyle routine was awesome. John O'Hurley's routine only had one lift - and he almost dropped Charlotte on her head! Kelly deserved those 10's for the difficulty of the last dance.

Tammy Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 07:05 AM EST

No, I don't think it was fixed. Why on earth would ABC who is having a spectacular year risk that big of a scandal for such a silly trophy? Did Kelly deserve 10's for her last performance? Probably not. But she obviously worked very hard, she easily was the most improved performer week to week, and let's face it John's last dance was hardly perfection either. Outcome = Surprising - yes. Wrong - possibly. Fixed - no.

Solyhhit Thu, Jul 7, 2005 at 10:48 PM EST

You actually think that straight men watched the program to look at her ta-tas?

pppppfffffttttt!

Mary Alice Thu, Jul 7, 2005 at 09:34 PM EST

Kelly did make a couple of very obvious mistakes, but I think her outfit and her beauty and her figure caused the judges to overlook them. Also, the soap Kelly is on has a hugh fan base, that I'm sure helped with the phone in votes. I do think for the second season, the vote counting should be revised. All in all I loved the show

James Thu, Jul 7, 2005 at 08:46 PM EST

If I didn't know better, I would think that I was watching Olympic Ice Skating from the 70's and 80's. This show's outcome was a joke. ABC must think that everybody is an idiot. Can't wait for the next one.

jbl Thu, Jul 7, 2005 at 06:52 PM EST

Considering all the flubs by Kelley in her final dance, can't believe they received the ONLY 10's given out during the entire contest. The fix was in!!!!

djm Thu, Jul 7, 2005 at 05:28 PM EST

It is so obvious that it was fixed. You could so tell that (especially) the two male judges were hot for Kelly Monaco - the show was/is a joke.

Like it really matters who won! They didn't win anything but a crappy trohpy! Next season should be - Guys: Kevin Bacon, Patrick Swayze, and John Travolta. Girls: Jennifer Grey, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Uma Thurman. My money is on Travolta hands down!
