DWTS Finale:
Some things are joys forever. The deserving dancer WON. The runner-up was perfect. Third place SHOULD have been James Maslow, who got his moment to shine when he and Peta were chosen -- in a DWTS first -- to repeat their dance from the night before. It has always been one of the three finalists, but there was apparently a hue-and-cry from the audience and an overwhelming request that "they" repeat even though they were no longer in competition.
I don't intend to sound mean toward Candace Cameron Bure. I think she's wonderful, even though she was not in the same league as Meryl Davis, James Maslow and Amy Purdy. She and Mark were totally outclassed Monday night and last night. All references to Monday's ejection of James being a huge shock was a not-so-subtle reference to Candace remaining in contention. I'm sure she didn't miss that, but she did not let it upset her. It's another instance of "fans" not being the best judges of who should move forward (as is true in "American Idol").
