BRAVO needs to do the right thing - and fire Karen. She's been defiant about what happened and hasn't shown any genuine remorse. Viewers don't want to see a rehab, redemption storyline. There's no reason why they would bring Robyn back. She was fired for trying to hide the allegations around Juan.

Come on, the highlight of this episode has to be the debut of new HW diva, aka Jennifer Tilly's permanent houseguest - Queen Tiffany. She's a real doll😄❤️💯

The competition is over. And the viewers have spoken. This was the highest rated season in 4 years. My favorite didn't win, but I am not going to complain and whine like a sore loser. Congrats to everyone! It is not easy for those who never had any dance experience, to get out there and do something completely out of their comfort zone. DWTS is just a TV show. IMO, it is way more impressive to compete in the Olympics, play in the Superbowl, be in the NBA. And who cares if Reggie isn't the greatest dancer. He is collecting those residual checks from having a hit TV show. Ka-Ching!

Because Garcelle is NOT Erika. Sean Penn is a big name to Erika, but Garcelle has worked with a lot of big names. The world of celebrity and Hollywood is something Erika has always desperately wanted to be part of. But she never had the talent. It's why she ended up in a loveless marriage with someone 30+yrs older. He was a meal ticket. No one else in the industry was going to bankroll Erika Jayne. She couldn't even get a call back from the Young and Restless.

Mary could have suspected - but she could have been in denial. It's a very common response. You can tell her fear, her hurt - when Robert Jr. revealed the truth. And that needed to come from him. Then her reaction - where she felt she failed as a parent. Addiction is supposed to be uncomfortable to watch. But Robert Jr's story needed to get out there.

If this is true, it means that all 5 contestants in the Finale got paid the same - regardless of where they finished. It also benefited the person who otherwise would have been eliminated from the semi-finals. They would have lost out on $50k for not being in the Finale. https://parade.com/1240167/paulettecohn/dancing-with-the-stars-salaries-celebrities-pro-partners/#:~:text=How Much Do the Stars,definitely still an impressive amount.

That's rich considering how viewers often complain about HW hiding their real lives. This wasn't about whether people like Mary or not. As a parent, she was trying to do everything to help her son. And you can tell she was scared - for him. As hard as it was, Robert Jr's story needed to get out. This harks back to Laurie, OG of RHOC and the struggles her son, Josh had with addiction. Sadly, he died from it earlier this year.

That would be Ilona. Looking at the math - she had the 2nd lowest judges score of the night. So she was propelled into 2nd place with the fan votes. Conversely, Chandler is dependent on the judge's score and likely was saved last week with a Final 5 finale when she didn't have a perfect score.

Joey was pretty much seen as the front runner from his first dance. And A Bachelor has never won. The elimination order went pretty much expected this season. The pleasant surprise is Ilona making the Top 2 😎. Chandler was never going to win. The fact that she was a Ringer was always going to be tough to overcome.

...

That chapter is closed. You're giving Kyle way too much credit. Kyle has always been about what serves her best. She is hardly a martyr. Even prior to Puppy gate, her relationship with LVP had pretty much dissolved into nothing more than just co-workers. The common ground for Kyle and Dorit were their husbands. And I suspect with both marriages in trouble, and rumors that Dorit was on the chopping block with the show, made her disposable to Kyle. This considering the petty reasons Kyle is putting out there about Dorit.

Gawd, can BRAVO Fire loudmouth, insufferable, awful Emily. It's ridiculous she tried to bully Jen and Katie for being complicit with Alexis - yet not single out Tamra and Heather. Of course, she failed to point out that Jen and Katie had been compassionate of Shannon, whereas Tamra and Heather had bad mouth her. What a letdown of Shannon and Tamra hugging it out. Tamra was never a friend. I call b.s. that she has changed. She is only in therapy because she needs the BRAVO paycheck.

It's because she's had more professional dance training than any of the others. And viewers traditionally love rooting for the underdogs. That was the original spirit of DWTS and what put the show on the map - taking someone who had no dance experience, getting them out of their comfort zone and doing something totally foreign. It will ultimately come down to the viewer votes and most viewers aren’t going to nick-pick over every little move. Relatability, Personality, Heart matters.

Garcelle had a legit career in the business - before the show - unlike Kyle - whose acting career had long faded. Garcelle only signed to HW - so she can be closer to home - and her boys. As a HW, she was smart - like Eileen. They didn't ruin their reputations - like Rinna. And it's Garcelle and Sutton who make the show.

It wouldn't surprise me if were the contestants who had the higher judge's score. There could be a lax with fan voting who assume they are safe. Because I would think Steven's and Danny's fans would vote hard to keep them safe.
