I agree completely, but it's their own fault. They purposely chose a dance to repeat on Monday night that they knew the judges didn't like, but that the audience loved. They got knocked down in points not because they could have done better but because they broke the rules for that particular dance, and they got knocked down again. The other two picked dances that they believed they could improve, and they did.

The second place couple "threw it away" because they thought the viewer votes would carry them, even though they knew they'd get knocked down again. It was kind of an in-your-face decision.

That said, the second place finisher was the one I'd been rooting for all season and absolutely had the best free-style dance and the best instant dance, as the scores reflect. It was a heartbreaker, that's for sure. They were the best by a mile. But it's their own fault. They should have chosen a different dance to repeat on Monday night, and shouldn't have openly said they were disregarding the judges' points.

At any rate, all three couples were amazing last night, what a finale, it was a terrific end to a terrific season; the outcome takes nothing away from the fact that the dancing was absolutely at the top of the game by everyone.
