Laurie was certainly an excellent dancer, but I am very disappointed that she won. Maybe I'm not understanding the point of this show anymore, but she was already a dancer from night one. C'mon, she's been and Olympic competitor since she was 5. James, OTOH, boggled everyone's mind with his dancing for a race car driver. And Calvin -- holy cow what a super star he turned out to be.
JMO, but Calvin and Lindsay's freestyle was far and above the best and most creative of all of them. Sharna and James and Laurie and Val just did a regular dance they've been doing all season. I wouldn't have minded if James had won, and would have been thrilled if Calvin had won. Lindsay is probably the best pro-choreographer outside of Derek and Mark.
