Close Call on the Finals of Dancing with the Stars

The Finals for Dancing with the Stars is going to be a close call. Through the first two rounds of the Finals, Emmitt Smith seemed like he would be placing the Dancing with the Stars trophy next to his SuperBowl rings with two sets of perfect scores and accolades from the judges.

Then came the third round dancing a freestyle routine. Emmitt and Cheryl’s dance to U Can’t Touch This was fun and entertaining to see #22 moving across the floor like Hammer. Then came Mario and Karina’s freestyle to It Takes Two. Their dance was highly energetic with lots of tough moves, and most importantly, they finished strong holding that pose seeming to say, “Yeah Emmitt, you can’t touch this!“

The judges really favor Emmitt’s ease, style, and personality. They all acknowledge that Mario has the technique and form but is lacking that intangible factor. My 5 Internet votes went to Emmitt since I had a feeling he’d win, but Mario’s last dance is going to make this a close call.
