Reading the comment about Mario and Karina copying Julianne and Apolo spurred me to write this comment. Mario and Karina performed this freestyle in Season 3. Apolo was in Season 4. Both freestyles were good though I preferred Julianne's version. I wonder, however if she could have come up with this without the Mario/Karina inspiration. I remember watching this and thinking "Gee, they even copied the costume color scheme"! Mario should have won and Apolo certainly earned his win. Just wanted to
@agpx0517 I remember thinking the same thing when I saw Julianne's freestyle. It was so similar to Karina's. I thought it was a very close carbon copy. People forget what a dancing legend Karina is. Julianne is quoted as saying Karina is her dancing idol. Having said that, Julianne is adorable and fabulous but IMO, there is only one Karina.
I have no idea why he didn't win this competition, he was so much better than Emmett Smith the whole season. Why does Karina get all the good looking men as her partner. I just love those Mario dimples.
THIS FREESTYLE WASN'T CREATIVE ENOUGH I CAN SEE WHY EMMITT WON WITH HIS HAMMER TIME FREESTYLE I WOULD HAVE GAVE OUT EIGHT'S ALL THE WAY THOUGH KARINA COULD DID BETTER WITH THE MOVES!
@NYChica23 I've heard that in the finale week Emmit only had less than 1% of the vote more than Mario. and of course they both had the same total scores from the judges. So if just a few more people had voted for Mario he would have won and Karina would be a two time winner as she should be (since she won with JR last season.)
me gustó más este freestyle que el de emmit, el de emmit repetian muchas veces el mismo paso, y a pesar que aquí tuvieron un pequeño traspie, creo que fue más culpa de karina que de mario, por eso no le descontaron puntos.
Well, one of the differences is Karina was wearing high heels while dancing this number while Julianne wore sneakers when performing her freestyle. Also, this was performed before Julianne and Apolo danced their freestyle, so Julianne probably picked this as inspiration and made her freestyle more suitable for her and Apolo. To me, I think both freestyles were great, but that is just my opinion.
@shelley2087 i completely agree both freestyles were incredible im just a little biased toward julianne cause i personally think that theres no1 out there thats better looking haha jus sayin. but mario and karina were crazy good!
I have never really cared for this new 'hip hop' music, and have usually watched every season of dwts. When I'm bored and want to get a little 'life me up', I always go back to this particular dance from dwts...it always makes me smile. They were great together!
Seriously, if there was a man who represented perfection.... that would be Mario! The man is so damn hot and sweet! :D AHHH!

@Innocent9989 yeah it's a shame that this was the only season where the finalist with the best scoring freestyle didn't win!!

You know this was the only season where the finalist with the best scoring freestyle didn't win? If anything it should have kept the tradition going.
