The Idol Thoughts Dancing with the Stars Endorsement Goes To...

How do they do it?

Every year, when the list of "celebrities" is announced for Dancing with the Stars, I scratch my head, wondering if I am really going to invest 12 weeks watching these C-listers dance. And every year, 12 weeks later, I'm obsessed.

Ah, the power of reality TV.

After last night's set of final performances, it's still not a shoo-in for Helio, Mel B, or Marie, the three remaining contestants. Helio gave hands down the best performance of the night in his freestyle, while Mel has proven herself the most consistent (and sensual) performer, while Marie has certainly brought the most drama to the competition, and may just have the biggest fanbase. So who is gonna win?

Well, the Idol Thoughts endorsement for Dancing with the Stars champion goes to...

Mel B!!!

Yes, Helio is charming as all get-out, and he has the best (and sassiest) professional partner (god, I love that Julianne!), but he hasn't been as consistent or shown as steep a learning curve as, say, Apolo Anton Ono did last year. And while Marie is, as the judges are so fond of saying, the "consummate entertainer," she just doesn't have the chops to warrant the title.

Which leaves Mel B, who has moved way past her "Scary Spice" moniker in proving herself a talented, versatile, and charming competitor. More than any other contestant throughout the season, Mel's dances make me sit up straight and pay attention, and it's been a joy to see Max, who has previously been known as the sulking narcissist, have so much fun on the dance floor. Even though she didn't deliver quite as strongly last night as she has previously in the competition, Idol Thoughts says...

Go Mel!!!!
