Another Storybook Line: Tony & Melissa Prove Underdogs can be the All_Star Champions for Dancing with the Stars.
Last night I voted for team Tony Dovolani & Melissa Rycroft to win the All Star Championship Mirror Ball Trophy. And win they did. Tony Dovolani who is a real ballroom dancer with seven professional ballroom championships title to his name never won a Mirror Ball Trophy from Season 1 to Season 14.
Season 15 made history because all three finalist stars were females(Kelly Monaco,Shawn Johnson & Melissa Rycroft). Usually the females are eliminated early because majority of female votes vote for the male stars who are usually star athletes or movie stars.
It took 15 seasons in Dancing With the Stars for Tony to win the trophy where popularity of stars counts rather than dancing skills . Majority of the competitors had already won Mirror Balls Trophy but not Melissa Rycroft where she placed third in Season 8 behind 1st place Shawn Johnson an Olympic Gold Medalist gymnast and 2nd place actor Gilles Marini of "Sex & City" fame. Melissa Rycroft was selected in the Bachelor series final episode by the bachelor but Jason dumped her for another lady. After being dumped, Rycroft was asked to join the Dancing With the Stars competition after only a few days notice. She danced well.
Last night they got perfect 10s in their samba and freestyle. Tonight they got all 9.5 for the instant samba. But they got the votes. The fans noted that it's about time Tony wins and the underdog Melissa take home the trophy.
Congratulations Melissa & Tony for winning the All Star Championship at DWTS. Here's a look at their samba in week 3.
