(pics from ABC.com)Last night, on the Finale results show for season five of Dancing with the Stars, the two time NASCAR driver winner Helio Castroneves (aka Spiderman) and his partner Julianne Hough edged out Mel B (of the Spice Girls who were out in full force supporting their gal front row and center) and Maksim Chmerkovskiy for the title. Marie Osmond was announced in third place earlier in the two hour results show on ABC.
*Julianne Hough now joins Cheryl Burke for winning back to back contests! Last year was her first competition and she won with Olympic Gold Medalist Apolo Anton Ohno last season.
The judges have constantly said this season has been the best one yet. The dancing, the competitors and the level of dancing has been superior throughout. The show brought back all the previous participants to dance once more with an exception of boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr who has a bout slated next week. Celine Dion took to the stage twice during the two hour results show last night.
The judges (Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonoili) gave both Mel B and Helio for their final performances of the competition perfect scores of 10! (A crowning achievement to cap off a wonderful season!). In the interview segment, Helio admitted he was hoping to not get eliminated early and then his competitive spirit caught up and he did not want to lose but the desire to win it all consumed him. Mel B also said once she puts her heart into something, she expects to come out on top. It was a treat to watch both couples last night.
A great show and both would have been great winners. Personally I think Helio had a slight edge over Mel B.
