Shawn beat Gilles by less than 1%.

Naked man, Sex and the City movie.

A disappointing result. Shawn's body is not made for ballroom dance.
molds13;73058 wrote:Because as a former Arthur Murray dance instructor in college, and an avid ballroom dancer for my entire adult life, I don't want to watch a fireplug dance. Cruel? Perhaps. That is the only thing I think of when I watch her dance. She simply is not aesthetically pleasing to me as a representation of the art of dance.

V1man;73072 wrote:I don't really think any of them are aesthetically pleasing (with the exception of Gilles and Melissa). Some are just painful to watch. I would have been fine with any of them winning as they truly were the best 3, but I was glad to see Shawn won. She's the youngest winner yet, and the third Olympian to win.
She simply is not aesthetically pleasing to me as a representation of the art of dance.

V1man;73230 wrote:She is beautiful, and man I would kill for that body. I have to say I was shocked that Shawn and Mark won. I really thought Gilles and Cheryl had it in the bag. So now every Olympic athlete besides Maurice, have won. On another note you can tell that Mark really appreciated his partner, and had the utmost respect for her.
I find Melissa to be exceptionally pleasing.
