My Ox Is Broken

Ox Notes: November 25, 2009

Dancing with the Stars 9 is over. Congratulations to Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson, whose victory seemed almost inevitable. Was any winner ever more predictable before the start of the season? Kristi Yamaguchi in Season 6, perhaps?

Access Hollywood, The Insider and ET had cameras backstage after last night's Finale. Kelly Osbourne told Us that she never expected to win.

E! has clips of the contestants partying after the show. Many of the participants are still Twittering about the show today.

The DwtS 9 Finale won last night's ratings war with an audience of 19.2 million people. Donny Osmond's victory, however, was seen by several million people fewer than watched Marie Osmond finish in third place in Season 5.

In other DwtS news, the 1500 complaints ABC received about Adam Lambert's performance at the American Music Awards on Sunday night is less than the number of complaints the network receives about a typical DwtS episode.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba told People that she has back surgery in her future.

My Ox Is Broken will return on Tuesday, December 8 with a new edition of Ox Notes. Happy Thanksgiving!

Actually I thought Mya was the shoe in since the first week...or Aaron Carter. I enjoyed his dances while Mya, though good, left me cold.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Based on their first week performances, you're right, Katy. But, to me, it seemed like it was always Donny 's trophy to lose. As long as he was a decent dancer, I think he had it locked up before he even danced a step.

Things are so quirky on DWTS that it's hard to tell sometimes. I thought Mya, with all of her positive press, was the most likely winner, though I was glad to see a male take the trophy this time. I was pleased to see Donny win, not because he's an Osmond, but because he was an all-round performer, was considerate of everyone, and always strived hard to do his best to not let his fans or Kym down. Ever since I saw him in "White and Nerdy" (Weird Al's send-up of a rap song), I knew he had potential (not saying what kind . . . LOL!). Love that Al!
Thanks for keeping the MOIB boards active, Kathy, though I missed your on-point critiques of the whole production. It looked like the finale had less filler than normal (but then again, due to streaming differences with the MST zone, I've only caught snippets on the internet, so I may only be seeing the best).

Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to all
