I am for Bindi. She's had no dance experience at all and she rose to the challange always lifting everyone's spirits with her positivity and enthusiam. You can tell that inspite of her fame she was not raised spoiled and entittled!! It's good to see when so many contestants moan and boo hoo about everything and complain about their scores and make excuses for poor performances. While Nick has had some great dances, he has dance experience working with choregophers. Alek also has had no dance experience and also has just been a plain old average person so he was not used to being eye. He's made the most progress. I think Julianne 's judging has been fair and she has given negative comments to her brother when necessary.
You do not really believe Bindi has had no dance experience?
Bindi doesn't come across as someone who would lie about her (lack of) dance experience.
Nick danced with Backstreet Boys.
Alek, you can tell he didn't dance prior to the show.
If you want to get picky, Nick had the advantage from the start.
Thank you both for pointing out the obvious. You know there are people here who complain about Derek getting all the partners who have had some dance experience. Well, this time he got Bindi, a 17 year old with NO dance experience, who doesn't whine and complain, and gives it her all every single week, and THAT isn't good enough. Now she's labeled as TOO enthusiastic, TOO affectionate, TOO nice. Oh, and the latest insinuation that she lied about dance experience emerges. Why would she? Unlike others her age, she's been involved in real life causes, not taking secret dance lessons. She is what she is, the real thing. And Derek? People seem to resent the fact that he is good at what he does. Has it occurred to anyone that not only is Derek the consummate choreographer, but he is adept at bringing out the best in all of his partners. Derek, Mark, and Val all have that same effect on their partners. That's why they win. That's why people want to watch them. I think it's cool that Alek is in the finals, though he clearly isn't that good, but he also gave it his all each week. As for Nick, he was in a boy band that danced to choreography. He actually SHOULD be better than he is. So, of the three, the winner should clearly be Bindi. That modern interpretative dance she did last night was astounding. It looked so simple, but the kind of things she was doing took tons of dedication and work, and the soul in her dancing is apparent throughout her performance. I watch the show for Derek's fantastic routines and for the amazing performances he draws out of his partners. Same with Val and Mark. As for Julianne being a judge, she's a dancer herself. She grew up with Derek and Mark, but I don't see that her scores and critiques are any different than the other two judges. If she were biased, her scores would be drastically different and be glaringly obvious. They're NOT.
