i think pamela was overmarked the whole way through for some reason. that's not to say she wasn't good to watch, and should be admired for her courage,etc., especially at 61 years of age, but i do think the judges added on one or two points to every dance score for her. and then they'd be extremely picky with kara and matt and take points away, made no sense to me.
kara was a deserved winner and to me she comes across as a really nice person, but hey, what do i know?
