  1. I didn’t know Kristi Yamaguchi was on this. I met her once and she was so sweet.

  2. I don’t really know this show as I live in Belgium, but I see sometimes on entertainment news about it. Is it really popular in US?

  3. I loved Rumor but I really wanted Steve Irwin’s daughter to win. Derek has been on his game, hasn’t he? Wow!

  4. I really enjoy watching this show whenever I get a chance to catch it. Unfortunately there really is not a lot of time in my would to watch TV. I didn’t realize Rumor won last season. Awesome!

  5. I can’t believe this show has been on as long as it has. I was a big General Hospital fan the year Kelly won. Wow that feels like so long ago!

  6. I cant believe that show has had that many seasons. I still love it though. I’ll be sad when it ends…just like Idol. Tears!!!
