• Goodness sake, how can ya' be mad about a show that truly brings fathers and daughters together. Noelle & Doug (from GILBERTSVILLE, PA deserved the prize, especially cool because I live about 1/2 hr. away from there. Ian did a good job and I am anxious to see next season's contestants.

• I certainly hope they are plaaning on replacing the host. He is probably the worst host I have ever seen on TV. He could not have been any worse if he tried.

• I just caught the final episode on On-demand. Congratulations to all of the show’s 20 contestants, especially Noelle and Doug. This is the only reality-TV competition I’ve ever followed. It’s nice to find family-friendly programs like this to watch, and I hope the show enjoys continued success down the road.
  
  A few notes to the show’s producers: Someone a few weeks ago suggested adding up each pair’s ‘cumulative’ scores from week to week to determine which pairs go into the drop zone. I wholeheartedly support that suggestion. It’s frustrating as a viewer to see two consistently-strong teams suddenly in the drop zone because they had an off week with a particular style, while a weaker pair avoids elimination by having a good week. The goal should be to create a format that allows the overall best teams to advance from week to week, not just the best teams from a single episode. This became an issue this season, and I found it significantly diminished my enthusiasm for following the show to see people leaving who (based on their overall performance) should have been allowed to advance.
  
  The above suggestion would also have the benefit of adding more suspense to the program since it’s easy to do the math in your head each week and figure out who’s in the drop zone before the end of the show with the current format. With the suggested format, you wouldn’t know until Ian made the announcement.
  
  Another suggestion is to drop Street Dancing from the program. It was by far the least entertaining episode this season, and I watched them all more than once on On-demand. Street Dancing is probably the most physically demanding style, especially for the male dancers who are expected to do the type of ground work Jesse did. That style puts the daughter-father teams at a slight disadvantage as most dad’s can’t even begin to do that stuff, while the son-mother teams don’t have the problem of 50-year-old’s with bad backs trying to do spinning handstands. Almost all of the routines that week looked like watered-down Street Dancing, even Erick’s and Carol’s since Erick opted not to do any ground work. Of course, you could argue that every routine, regardless of the style, is somewhat watered down on account of the parents, but it becomes painfully obvious in a dynamic and physically-demanding style like Street Dancing. Despite almost every pro dancer (even Nicole) claiming this style was one of their strengths, the episode was the least entertaining of the bunch. The one bright spot was Brooke’s and Eric’s routine, but you can’t count on having parents as capable as Eric. Maybe Salsa could replace Street Dancing next season.
  
  Don’t know if I’m just having browser problems or what, but I can’t access the Cast forums after logging in. I was able to post in Noelle’s and Doug’s forum by clicking on their photo above, but my pointer doesn’t switch to a hand when I put it on the Cast menu above. I’ll have to try again later.
  
  Lastly, (for my daughter) will there be a DVD of this season released?

• Congratulations to all 3 couples in the finale! Brooke and Eric were our favorites and by far the best couple, but the best doesn't necessarily win on these shows. Brooke, you were the most technical dancer and definitely the most entertaining of all the dancers on the show. I hope the rumors are true that you've already gotten a huge job offer from being seen on the show....we can't wait to see more of you on TV. We also heard that you will be making the big move -- you are going to take Hollywood by storm! You and Eric really stood out from the rest and you're the winners in our eyes. You guys made the show worth watching!!

• Karyn85 & HersheyKisses0…Get a grip, this was a dance competition! Somebody wins somebody loses, just maybe if you focused on your attitude you too could be a Winner.

• Brooke & Eric
  You guys were fabulous each week and you so deserved to win this show! We were so disappointed, along with a lot of America. Brooke, you're such a beautiful dancer in every discipline and I know you'll go places with or without being the official winner! We wish you luck in all that you do and we can't wait to see more of your beautiful face and talent. Eric, you are just a natural dancer. No other parent could top your talent and as a couple, you guys were the best!! We love your relationship and the fact that you are both so genuine and not artificial. We love you guys! You should have your own show (smile). God Bless you both!

• Finally! A reality show (of sorts) without all the scripted drama. Thank you for the great entertainment. It was wonderful to watch parents work and bond with their children. It was also refreshing to watch all of the participants treat each other with kindness and respect! It makes me wish I had a child that was a dancer - I would love to do something like this. I am looking forward to next season!
